Flyering at ACSC Game 5/16
May 16, 2026, 6:30 PM
On May 16, the Asheville City Soccer Club will be playing a match at UNCA’s Greenwood Field. A group of us will be handing out flyers to fans attending the match, laying out alternative sites for a soccer stadium and urging fans to contact the owners of the club to ask them to pull out of the woods proposal.
We’ll be handing out flyers between 6 and 6:30, and it will be a friendly occasion, as we’ve found in the past that most fans agree with us. If you can help us, please contact Dennis Ash via email at ceniza365@gmail.com.
Date: May 16
Time: 6–6:30 p.m.
Location: Greenwood Field, 200 Field Dr, 28804
