Like you, I was encouraged by the play in Seattle. They held up very well at one of the toughest places to win. And the East is a little more open this year, especially now that Josef Martinez is out.
But our office is already scheduling trips over to catch some mid week games and doing a group outing.
That happened 0 times while the team was down in Bridgeview. That move was such a huge screw up as well.
I think the stars are aligning for a very good run from the Fire, I just hope the badge isn't shit when everything bears fruit. I don't want to look at pictures with that stupid badge any longer than I have to.
But with the Red Stars upgrading from their old pitch out past Downer's Grove, if the Red Stars could warrant a move from Bridgeview to the lakeshore as well, that would do wonders for the NWSL in Chicago. With their roster and recent top 4 finishes, I hope they can grow thier fanbase.
My son is part of the Michigan affiliate youth club, and we all went after participating in the tournament up in Downers Grove. I immediately realized, upon arrival, why everyone hated it.
Boys and I are going to Soldier Field this summer for sure.
