The Austin-based energy drink brand and official energy drink of Austin FC, C4 Energy, hosted the third annual Austin FC Energy Experience and 100 lucky fans who won the online sweepstakes got to train alongside players and team trainers on the pitch at the iconic and gorgeous Q2 Stadium.

This year topped last year, somehow with a streamlined experience and find-tuned schedule. There was the epic VIP walk and the autographs by 3 players inside the FC locker room- Dani Pereira, Matt Bersano, and CJ Fodrey. They also helped out on the pitch afterwards. They spent so much time with fans signing shirts, balls, and photos. By the way, this is the only time fans are allowed in the locker room or on the pitch- so it’s truly a special experience for any soccer fan.

Local brand, C4 Energy had a tent with swag and all the great beverages including a yummy popsicle flavor. The official energy drink of Austin FC gives a ton of caffeine to help the guys stay energized. Fans were treated to free food and drinks in the VIP lounge.

Kollective Gym helped lead the workouts and drills and a fan cool down after the brutal hour or two in the near 100 heat! So glad there was a great breeze in the stadium, some shade, and plenty of fluids to stay hydrated

Each of the 100 winners got to bring a guest (some brought their kid, others brought a significant other, etc.) and got a ton of swag including awesome Adidas back pack, Austin FC shirts and socks, koozies, soccer balls, plus a $200 gift card to spend in the Verde shop that night! They were really given the royal treatment!

Everyone had a memorable time with so many stories to tell for years to come. The kids especially have memories to last a lifetime. Check out all from the 2024 fan experience on Austin 101 and we can’t wait for next year!
