Live Pregame Performance by Maiya the Don
As we get closer to kickoff, the energy is going to dial all the way up.
Brooklyn’s own hip-hop sensation Maiya the Don will take the field for an exclusive live pregame performance. She’ll perform her newly released BKFC anthem, “Back Outside Again,” getting the whole stadium hyped and ready for kickoff.
Ceremonial First Goal
Before the whistle blows, make sure you are in your seats to witness our special Ceremonial First Goal, officially kicking off the action on the day.
