    Believe it’s five subs, up from three due to the pandemic. But only at three points in the game, which is why several came on at once during the first substitution. I’m really high on Stuver. He has a command of the system and playing the ball out of the back, which is what Josh wants. Second in the league in saves since he’s often under pressure. Not bad at all for a journeyman who nobody expected to start.

    That was super nervy. Feel like we’ve had enough of the Danny Hoesen experiment.

    That was one hell of a weekend. My voice is shot but it was totally worth everything. Also great that all the ATXFC goals were scored in our end and that the players celebrated with us. Let's take it to the last place Loons this weekend!

    Yeah. He has a great quote in the press conference last week. He talked about being smaller than your traditional striker but also noted that he’s bigger than Josef Martinez.

    The corner this shot is from is also a super interesting part of the building. I’ve heard that it’s going to be a place to hang and drink a beer from the bar behind it, an area where they are selling standing room tickets, a spot that can be reserved for a group or some combination of the three.

    Add to that list @joeclowery, who did a 45 minute tactical breakdown of Austin’s Best XI with us on this week’s Moontower Soccer.

    This Twitter has most of the local media types, Austin FC staff, players and fans who are active. I'm on it, which is the most important thing. https://twitter.com/i/lists/1297900873448861703?s=20 MLS-wise check out @PaulTenorio, @SamStejskal, @andrew_wiebe, @MattDoyle76, @TomBogert

    Stadium is supposed to be finished mid-April but they need time to hire and train 1000+ game day staff. Which they have to do in small groups because of COVID.

    There were a half dozen random fans who watched from a fence on the far side. This is basically all we got.

    Supporters Cup happening. No corporate sponsors. https://twitter.com/copatejas/status/1374050940030976005?s=20

    Oh yeah, also the Bold were excluded from this tournament and they seem pretty salty about it.

    5-1 over OKC Energy in today’s scrimmage. Copita Tejas preseason tournament announced. The FC Dallas and Dynamo games will be streamed.

    For those of you wondering about in person experience, this is good news. https://www.austinfc.com/post/2021/03/15/note-president-andy-loughnane-progress-and-next-steps?utm_source=social_share&utm_medium=share_button&utm_campaign=social_share_button

    And the roof over the supporters section is at its lowest point. That particular element is because that’s where the rigging will go for concerts. Overall it’s definitely a feature and something the stadium team has talked about on a certain podcast.

    I’ve heard conflicting stories on this. Pretty sure that’s not the case. Saying this as a very early participant in the conversation.

    We interviewed Jon Arnold a couple weeks ago and he talked about how FCD doesn't really know what they want to be and that their marketing game is pretty weak. You can't sell out stadiums just appealing to soccer moms in Frisco.

    Also a smooth move by the Hunts putting the US Soccer Hall of Fame in Frisco. Makes it that much harder to wrest the club away and relocate it somewhere people will care.

    Yeah, should be twice as many home games as road games once the stadium opens. I think we will have a pretty good away crowd for Colorado. Booked my flight to Denver.

    First match should be announced any moment now.

    Houston opening with 30% capacity. Should be pretty close to their normal attendance. Starting to think Austin will be at 75-100% come June.

    They are in training at St Ed’s. First preseason match is on the 19th and closed to fans/media. Pretty sure some of us are going to test what closed means.

    Expect to hear from them in mid-March or later.

    They don’t know what’s going to happen. What should they tell you? Seems like the Gov may have cleared things up this afternoon.

    Training camp and preseason friendly schedule out. St. Edward's closed to fans, but I don't think they can stop people from watching on the hill overlooking the field. https://www.austinfc.com/post/2021/03/01/austin-fc-announces-preseason-training-camp-presented-st-davids-healthcare-ahead Pulisic's brother also training with the club.
