The Keyworth Stadium is a 7,000-capacity multi-purpose stadium located in Hamtramck, Michigan, a city surrounded by Detroit. It was opened by former president Franklin Delano Roosevelt on October 15, 1936 during his second campaign for president.
Democratic Senator John F. Kennedy spoke at Keyworth Stadium during his successful 1960 Presidential Campaign.
It is owned by Hamtramck Public Schools and it is used mostly for soccer and American football matches.
The semi-professional soccer club Detroit City FC initiated a crowd-based investment program to renovate and rehabilitate the stadium, intending to move their home games to the stadium in 2016. On February 5, 2016 the Detroit City owners announced they had successfully raised the minimum $400,000 to begin renovations, with the investment drive topping off at $741,250 by the midnight deadline on February 15, 2016.
The club played their first game at their new home on May 20th, 2016.
