Join the BYB

Joining the more than 4,000 card-carrying members of the Brickyard Battalion and taking advantage of discounts at 15 area businesses couldn't be easier, as general membership for the 2017 season will continue to be FREE. While membership is free of charge, the BYB asks that all members help the cause by purchasing a Brickyard Battalion scarf or other merchandise.

History

Grassroots support for professional soccer in Indianapolis was established August 3, 2011, with the creation of The Brickyard Battalion supporters group. Its volunteer leadership has contributed countless hours to promote soccer and helped lay the foundation for a professional soccer team in Indianapolis. The Brickyard Battalion board has eight members, while the supporters group now has more than a dozen official affiliate chapters located across the state of Indiana and over 4,000 members committed to supporting the success of Indy Eleven.

The origin of the Brickyard Battalion moniker came from the group’s promotion of the name Racing Indy FC for a potential team, for which they mocked up a uniform design and created and sold their own supporters scarves. While that name did not pan out, the Brickyard Battalion played a critical role in the successful launch of Indy Eleven. Two thousand fans now fill the BYB’s West Stand at Carroll Stadium at every Indy Eleven match, creating the strongest and loudest supporters group in the North American Soccer League - and one of the largest and passionate groups in all of North American soccer at any level.
