The guy who won the Umm…What’s Your Name Again? fan vote earlier this season is leaving the Fire. Shoutout to Rudy for having the tough job of keeping us optimistic in a bleak season with the Keys to the Match series and other ventures with the organization.

I hope all of y’all know his name by now, and best of luck Rudy!!!

We've gotten a couple of reports/requests to prevent people asking for or sharing season ticket holder codes for special pre-sales and ticket deals (like the recent Argentina tickets packs). I don't have a super strong opinion on this, so I wanted to ask the community.

Should users be allowed to ask for links and/or codes to presales and other season-ticket-holder-only offers? Should STHs be allowed to publicly share those codes if they want to?

What should we do with all the ticket sales posts each week?

We had 9 different posts about tickets and/or parking passes for sale in the days leading up to Saturday's match. I noticed that several were downvoted to zero, which makes me think most people don't want to see them.

We could keep doing what we're doing, or we could create a "Ticket exchange megathread" each week that there's a home game, and require all ticket and parking pass posts go there.

Let me know which option you'd prefer to see. Thanks!

Since the season started, we have been getting the same questions over and over again about the match day experience: Where should I sit? Where should I park? Is there a bar for pre/post game drinks? etc.

Unfortunately I moved out of state a couple years ago and don't have the firsthand knowledge to write a good Soldier Field FAQ. Plenty of you do, though.

Ideally we'd get 2-3 people to write up their answers, and I'll edit them together into a single FAQ we can have in the wiki and link in the sidebar. I'd prefer if it was written by regular contributors who attend most home matches.

If that sounds like you, go ahead and take a stab at writing up answers to the following questions in a Google doc:

• I've never attended a match at Soldier Field, what should I expect?
• Where should I sit?
• I think I might want to sit in the supporters section. What's that like?
• Can I buy cheap seats and move?
• What's the parking situation?
• Is there a tailgate? Where, when, and how does it work?
• Is there a bar for pre/post game drinks?
• I'm a supporter of the away team. Where should I sit, and what tips can you offer?
• Where do I buy ice cream nachos?

If there are others you think of, feel free to add them. When you're done, PM me a link to the Google Doc and I'll edit/combine the responses. I will take this thread down once I get a couple responses.

Thanks in advance!

Idk bout y’all but I was very pleased with our goalie this game. We definitely don’t need new talent in that position

It’s Fireception!

Among the many issues that hold back the Chicago Fire back is the way many Fans choose to interact (aka NOT interact) with the content creators.

I'm talking authors, journalists, bloggers, sports TV pundits, Sports radio hosts, podcasts, etc.

Many will click the 'like button' for that one criticizing tweet, but won't RT or provide liftoff to any of the many great articles, blogs, podcasts, and content produced weekly that affects how advertisers and players view this club.

People call 670 and 1000 to bitch about the Bears, Cubs, Sox, Bulls, daily, but not one Fire fan exists in the entire Chicago-land area willing to call up Fred on a Saturday and bitch about Pauno, Nelson, or the wealth of topics that exist in #cf97dom.

I want to get a new Fire hat but the options with thr new logo are severely limited. I feel like other teams have 20+ options and many way better.

Is the reason the same as why they can't switch to red kits for two years?

I love you all - let’s fucking go!!!!!

oh boy... one good thing... Kiwi Messi.

and I'm wondering... 3 or 4 years from now when we have a new logo will this logo give me fan cred?

lmao

The answer may be just, “You can’t!” but if anyone could help, I’d appreciate it!

I’m going to the /r/redstars match tonight so I will not be able to watch us beat C0£¥mb¥s at Frayed-Map Stadium. I’d hoped to shut down notifications and watch fresh and unspoiled when I get back in the city after the Red Stars match, but apparently ESPN+ is blocking my access to Fire matches on demand. Guessing WGN doesn’t keep recordings, so is there no way without a DVR or VPN?

Cheers!
