The Michigan Bucks have released their schedule for the 2010 season, and the team has some work to do if they're going to get their way back into the playoffs after missing out last year. Now why is this being released on Saturday at 7:30 PM? We want you to get used to that time slot, to spend Saturday nights with the Motor City Supporters and the Bucks from May to July. Six of their eight home games take place on Saturdays, including five in a row from May 22 to June 19.
First up is the home opener on May 22, an afternoon matinee against the newest addition to the Great Lakes Division: the Dayton Dutch Lions, a professional side backed by the FC Twente organization in the Netherlands. Other important dates include the annual Canton Cup on May 29, as the Bucks play the Cincinnati Kings for the second year in a row at the event. The big day we're all looking forward to is Saturday, June 12, as the United States takes on England in the 2010 World Cup. That evening, the Bucks are hosting border rival FC London to make for an incredible soccer day. Also, in-state rival Kalamazoo Outrage comes to town on Thursday, June 24, and the hated Chicago Fire Premier make their way to Pontiac on Saturday, July 10. Potential road trips for this season include London, Dayton, and Indiana.
Supporters group season tickets will be offered once again by the Bucks, and they will announce in the near future how to purchase them. The complete schedule, as well as news on qualification for the Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup, can be found on our Michigan Bucks page.
