FCS winter · USL2 summer · one crest
Outdoor arm of Lansing City
USL League Two is not a side project — it is how Lansing City extends the club onto grass. Same standards, same community, summer stage for high-level soccer in Mid-Michigan.
Pathway, not a dead end
Built for college calendars and serious summer form: a clear step for players chasing USL Championship, League One, MLS, or the next contract — while staying under the City crest.
One club, two surfaces

Club extension
When the grass takes the story
This is the outdoor chapter of Lansing City: a pathway for high-level soccer in Lansing and the natural extension of the club from the Arena floor to the pitch. College legs, City crest, Mid-Michigan nights — one identity year-round.
