The Rowdies have teamed up with local muralist Ya La'ford to bring a new mural to Al Lang Stadium, and it's going to be awesome. The team recently posted a video on Facebook showing La'ford's progress. In it, she helps Rowdies players not fall over while placing their footprint on a bright yellow wall at Al Lang Stadium.

Now here comes the really cool part. Rowdies season ticketholders will have the opportunity to add their own hand print or footprint to the wall alongside their favorite players this Saturday, as the Rowdies take on Charleston Battery in Al Lang Stadium. Want to participate? Just comment on the original Rowdies Facebook post with what makes the Tampa Bay community so special to you.

Update (6/14/2019): Ya La'ford just informed us that she welcomes all Rowdies fans — not just season ticket holders — to participate in this project. Just stop by before the game, between 4 and 6 p.m.
