Loud 'N United for Loudoun United 2
Many soccer fans have heard of Loudoun United, who compete in the USL Championship, the second tier of American soccer, and play their home games at Segra Field. However, fewer people know they have a development squad as well, Loudoun United 2, who also play their home games in Leesburg, Virginia, but at RavenTek Park. This is a significantly smaller facility than Segra and is located in Revolution SportsPlex, surrounded by several training fields, a church, and even an old barn.
The team competes in USL League Two, part of the fourth tier of American soccer and the first level that is not fully professional. Players are mostly amateurs looking to work their way to a professional contract with the parent club. Most of the other teams in the league are independently owned and are not affiliated with any professional club, but draw from the same pool of current and recent college players.
Food & Beverage 4
Concessions at RavenTek Park are sold out of the Halftime concession stand, located in the Legacy Club behind the stands. This air conditioned area also contains some tables and chairs and a television that will often be tuned to a soccer game, especially as we write this in the summer of 2026 with the World Cup ongoing. All fans have access to this area and can purchase concessions. The menu includes chicken tenders, hot dogs, pulled pork sandwiches, grilled chicken sandwiches, burgers, boneless wings, and mozzarella sticks. The chicken tenders come with fries, or you can get them as a standalone item as well. Bottled water, soft drinks, candy, and chips are also available. For fans looking for adult beverages, take the stands or elevator upstairs where you will find a rooftop bar serving adult beverages.
Prices are fairly reasonable - except for alcohol, nothing costs over $10, and that's for the chicken tenders that come with fries.
Atmosphere 3
RavenTek Park contains several rows of bleachers with a concourse area at the top as well as a rooftop bar up a flight of steps from the concourse. The rooftop also offers a unique vantage point to watch the game but most fans just watch from the bleachers. Wherever you sit, you will be up close to the action and have a great view of what is going on.
The atmosphere here is standard for the most part. The PA system is very quiet and barely audible in some parts of the stands. A small scoreboard shows the score, and in theory should show shots, but the latter never updated during the game we were at. In addition, some lights on the clock were burned out, making it difficult to read what the numbers were.
Unlike most soccer stadiums, which are oriented north-to-south so the sun sets behind the bleachers, RavenTek Park is oriented east-to-west. The sun will set behind the goal to your right and will be in your eyes for most of the match. There is also very little shade in the stands, though the concourse under the bar is shaded. We strongly recommend wearing a hat to block the sun from getting in your eyes.
The team does take some steps to enhance the fan experience. The opening lines of "Chelsea Dagger" by The Fratellis is played after LUFC2 goals. The PA announcer will announce goalscorers and cards, but as noted above, it can be hard to hear him. Most of the time, it will be quiet enough to hear the chatter on the field between the players, coaches, and officials. Some fans will like this, while others will find it not particularly exciting.
Neighborhood 2
RavenTek Park is located in the middle of a residential area, and there are no restaurants or things to do in the immediate vicinity. Your best bet is to head a few miles into downtown Leesburg, where there are plenty of places to eat, visit, and stay. This can be about a ten-minute drive, but it’s your only option.
The Leesburg Public House and Tarbender’s Lounge are popular places to grab a drink and a bite to eat. Those looking for something other than a bar may want to check out Melt Gourmet Cheeseburgers or the Leesburg Diner, although the latter is only open for breakfast and lunch. There are many good options in Leesburg, but the fact that all of them are so far from the stadium brings this rating down.
Fans 3
Loudoun United FC 2 will draw a couple hundred fans to a typical home game. Many have some connection to the players - friends, family, or host family - while others are fans of the parent Loudoun United club. Loudoun United season ticket holders get free admission to all LUFC2 games, and it is not uncommon to see fans taking advantage of that perk. While the crowd will cheer loudly after goals, for most of the game they are pretty quiet.
As all of LUFC2's opponents are located over a small geographic area, it is not uncommon to see a lot of visiting fans at the games as well. Their enthusiasm and size will vary depending on the opponent and is generally consistent with, although at a much smaller scale than, what is described in the Stadium Journey reviews of those teams' fan bases.
Access 3
RavenTek Park is located a short drive off the Dulles Greenway (State Route 267) via Shreve Mill Road, although you will need to pay several dollars in tolls to get here. Once you arrive, parking is in a lot next to the stadium - follow the signs for the main stadium rather than parking by the back fields for easier access. This will put you at the bottom of the bleachers, and you can walk up and sit anywhere as seating is general admission.
Restrooms are located at the top of the bleachers with a second set on the rooftop near the bar. The restrooms are on the other side of the club area from the bleachers and fans can walk through it to get to the other side rather than walk around. There is also an elevator to take you from field level to the top of the bleachers and the rooftop area for fans who require one.
Return on Investment 4
General admission tickets are just $7 to get in to the stadium for a LUFC2 game. Concessions are affordable and parking is free, though you may pay quite a bit in tolls to get here. Season ticket holders of the Loudoun United parent club get in to games here for free as a perk of membership. Overall, an LUFC2 game is a very good value.
Extras 2
The rooftop bar and unique viewing area it creates are worth a star here.
The Legacy Club and Halftime concession stand offer an air conditioned space to cool off at halftime or before the game and enjoy some food and beverage. It is nice that this space is open to all fans.
Final Thoughts
A Loudoun United FC 2 game offers the chance to see potential future soccer stars in an intimate environment at an affordable price. Many of these players will soon be playing professionally for Loudoun United, or perhaps even in Major League Soccer or another top-tier league. A LUFC game at RavenTek Park is a great way to spend a summer night watching soccer.
