The 2016 season is the Harrisburg City Islanders's 13th season of competitive soccer - its thirteenth season in the third division of American soccer and its sixth season in United Soccer League since the league was first created with the City Islanders as one of the original 10 founder-members.[1]
Stadium Relocation
The 2016 season marks the City Islanders transition from Skyline Sports Complex to Metro Bank Park on City Island in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. The transition was a result of the collaboration with the current tenants, the Harrisburg Senators, and to keep pace with the standards being implemented by the USL.[2] The team will also share home matches with Clipper Magazine Stadium in Lancaster, Pennsylvania as an effort to expand the Islanders fanbase throughout south central Pennsylvania.[3]
