Our inaugural season was about more than what happened on the pitch. It was about a city coming together, new traditions taking shape, and a community that showed up for something special. From the first kickoff to the final whistle, you helped make history.
One Last Night Together
For our final home match of the season, we wanted to give Summit fans a chance to capture the moments that made our first year special.
In partnership with American Furniture Warehouse, we handed out disposable cameras for fans to document the night from their perspective. The result? A collection of candid moments, familiar faces, and memories captured by the people who made this season what it was.
These photos aren’t just a look back at one night. They’re a reflection of the community that made our inaugural season so special.
