Polyvinyl Records will host a pop-up shop at the American Football House this Saturday from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m.
The American Football House is located at 704 W. High St. in Urbana.
The American Football House, deemed a cultural landmark on Google Maps, is famous within the Midwest emo scene for appearing on the cover of the band American Football’s 1999 self-titled album.
This past May, Polyvinyl and the band collaborated to purchase the house to protect it from developers and possible demolition.
According to Polyvinyl’s social media, the one-day-only pop-up shop will include vinyls, CDs and more from Polyvinyl Records artists. Donuts and coffee will be available in the morning.

In addition to being exposed to new local music, customers will be able to trick-or-treat, with or without a costume.
Any customer who brings a canned food donation will receive $5 off of their purchase. Food donations will support the C-U Daily Bread Soup Kitchen.
According to its website, Polyvinyl Records, founded in 1994, is an independently owned and operated record label with a focus on highlighting local artists and their music.
“Polyvinyl’s mission is to support passionate, independently minded artists in creating timeless work, growing their careers and reaching their highest potential,” the website said.
