  • WHAT HAPPENED

    For the fifth straight season, San Antonio FC invited season ticket members to paint the player tunnel at Toyota Field, adding a personal touch to the team's pregame walkout. The club shared images of the newly decorated tunnel on social media, showcasing the fans' artistic contributions and messages of support.

    This long-standing tradition goes beyond mere decoration, symbolizing the deep connection between San Antonio FC and its fanbase.

    “We have a clear walk out tunnel where obviously home side comes from one, away side comes from the other. We painted it all black as a canvas and we provide paint in the colors of our crest which is red, silver and white to our members to go in and paint whatever,” associate manager of membership services Taylor Knuckles said.
