  1. Totally forgot about watching LAFC win the 2019 supporters shield at The Banc vs Houston. Make that #3. Fun fact is that it had the same architect as Q2 who was able to apply everything they learned about designing the stadium to make a better version in Austin.

     

    Stadium-wise, Seattle, KC and Cincinnati are my top 3 places I want to visit. This ignores the fact that Montreal, Vancouver and NYC are more fun cities (along with others).

    They were selling Indian food behind our section (102), but it was a special one off for Asian Appreciation Night or whatever. We ate at the Mexican place across the street instead of eating in the stadium, but the food in the stadium looked pretty bad....and also wet.

    We had a hot dog and a "street taco" and then picked up Whataburger on the way home.

  3. Here's my MLS Stadium list from games I've attended.

    1) Austin

    2) Minnesota United

    3) Atlanta United

    4) Portland

    5) Nashville

    <HUGE DROPOFF>

    6) FC Dallas

    7) Houston Dynamo

    8 Colorado Rapids (although it was the most fun since it was our first win)

    FC Dallas has some cool giveaways including free beer and whisky samples in the stadium, but the atmosphere was certainly Friscoish. People were nice and the stadium itself is much nicer than the last time I was there a decade ago. Of the MLS stadium experiences I've been to it goes:

     

    1.) Austin FC

    2.) Sporting KC

    3.) FC Dallas

    4.) Houston Dynamo

     

    Hopefully I'll add another this summer but damn this team is still frustrating. 

    Agree that it's a decentish experience. Maybe we weren't looking the right place, but the food options seemed super generic. Appreciate what they're trying to do at Q2. I'm also so tired of getting shittalked by Frisco fans as we fall behind yet again. Felt like we bought pretty good energy to the Toyota Truck Month end of the stadium.

  5. It was a 4-3-3 just like (almost) always. Never trust the formation listing from any website. Or even Apple TV.

  6. This is the healthiest-looking passing chart I’ve seen in quite a while. Balls up the field and a lot going through Dani.IMG_0024.jpeg.bebc4a5016862314052529b6bfd2aca4.jpeg

    I wonder how much of Fondrey, Burton, and Noel we'll see this year.

    Fodrey - Probably a bit.

    Burton - Josh has said outright that Burton's opportunities are mostly with the second team.

    Noel - His big challenge is that he requires an international slot and it seems unlikely that he's enough of a game changer to eat one of those up. And we got this quote from Josh last week "If these guys [Austin FC II players] outperform, there's certainly an opportunity that they could make the first team. I don't envision it happening that way, but I don't close the door on anything.”

    Listen to this week's Moontower Soccer for more on Noel and others.

  8. This Latif Blessing rumors intrigues me. Dumping a bunch of dead weight and bringing in Rubio, O'Brian, Cleveland, Blessing and Biro wouldn't be a bad inter window.

  9. The SGs are sending out a survey this week to see which places people want for the “big” away trips. Can’t say enough how fun it is to do those with big groups.

    Pulled this off the shelf and will be re-reading it this afternoon:

    That was a good one. This one wasn't quite as good but still worth a read (https://www.amazon.com/Impossible-Takes-Little-Longer-Pretenders/dp/0878336303).

     

    Haven't been active in this thread since a couple boards and a decade ago but it's super cool to see this group of people enjoying redemption. It's been the same with all the Twitter friends from way back then who I still follow.

  11. Rodo really lowered my expectations for the winter window at his last press conference. Help is needed everywhere, except midfield if the rumors we’ve heard about Ring staying are true. I think they’ll be looking for players anywhere on the field they can find value.

  12. Oh hey, I broke that Lima news. Also hearing the club could be putting out non-Lima news today. Probably also not the roster option news we’ve been waiting for.
