Chicago Fire FC has announced Lou Malnati’s, known for its deep-dish pizza, as the presenting partner for the club's match against Inter Miami CF on August 31 at Soldier Field. This match is expected to be the most attended of the season, offering both organizations a chance to engage with a diverse audience.
The previous year's home match against Inter Miami set a record with 62,124 attendees and featured a halftime performance by local rapper Lil Durk. The upcoming game aims to build on that success with a post-match performance by pop/R&B artist Jason Derulo. Lou Malnati’s will enhance the pre-match experience with "Cirque du Lou" outside Soldier Field, featuring tailgate-style games and giveaways.

As part of their partnership, Lou Malnati’s will offer fans opportunities such as the *Chicago Fire VIP Ticket Giveaway* and a chance to win free pizza for a year. Additionally, the first 20,000 fans entering Soldier Field on August 31 will have an opportunity to upgrade their seats to fieldside positions.
