Lexington Sporting Club encourages a lively, loud, and energetic matchday atmosphere, while also maintaining a respectful, fair, kind, and mindful approach to the different values and cultures of our fans and those in attendance. On match day, and at all Lexington Sporting Club events, the safety and welfare of others is and will remain the number one priority.
Throughout the United Soccer League 1, officially recognized supporter groups retain access to certain privileges and benefits that are approved by the Club. These privileges include, but are not limited to, the use of banners, flags, tifos, drums and other instruments, and controlled smoke devices to assist in building the Lexington Sporting Club experience, creating match day traditions, and heightening home match atmosphere. Officially recognized supporter groups are also privileged to inside access, exclusive events, etc.
