The Fire tied 2-2 with the NEWYORKNEWJERSEYREDBULLMETROSTARS in front of the season’s largest crowd, with standing room only tickets sold in large numbers, as was evident by the fans watching from the concourse and a jam-packed Section 8.
At those times, I’m reminded that Toyota Park is a pretty darn nice stadium, a great sight [...]

Section 8 in 2008 for 208
By: Tom | 1 Comment
Thanks to the hardwork of the Section 8 ISA, and hopefully also due to the willingness of the new owners to help grow the club’s most vibrant supporters section, prices have been cut to stand and cheer with Section 8.
It’ll be just $208 for a full season ticket. To me, that’s an amazing deal: last [...]

Deadline day in MLS is hardly show-stopping stuff, is it? But perhaps just to spite notabbott, John Guppy did make a deal today, moving the supposedly superfluous forward Jerson Monteiro for a conditional superdraft pick to DC.
I say supposedly, because one presumes Wanchope’s long-term deal is the reasoning for the move here. [...]

Before tomorrow’s tailgate and key match-up with the New York New Jersey Metro Red Star Bulls completely erases my memory of the previous game, I feel I should share my roadtrip memories from Columbus as I promised to do so earlier this week. Well over 200 Fire fans made the trip, despite the torrential [...]

I also didn’t know Naperville was a key geographic market. Maybe we should have stayed there then!
Work closely with the SVP of Sales and Marketing to develop a comprehensive ticket sales plan to achieve stated objectives in key markets to include: [...]

I got back from Columbus yesterday, a rain soaked adventure that saw me nearly pass out during the game, 200+ Fire fans dominate the stadium with waves of noise, and must crucially, the Fire earning three points thanks to a very nicely taken Paolo Wanchope goal.
I’ll have a full report when I’m fully [...]

Last night, we Fire fans were subjected to an outrageous breach in the space-time continuum. We had thought that our long national nightmare, the months of insipid football that began this season, had been discarded into the dustbin of history.
Unfortunately, we were wrong. As notabbott points out, the game, formation and tactics were all [...]

Of the two highest paid players in the league, the media spotlight has obviously shone an awful lot more brightly on David Michael Beckham than on Cuauhtemoc Blanco. However, there is now increasing coverage of our Temoc, as Beckham’s farcial roadshow has sputtered, whilst Blanco has thrived so far.
And there’s now an excellent one-stop-shop for [...]
