I've also had reps talk about Leipzig and "come out to witness the next Tyler Adams."


This is a niche league in a major sports market. Who exactly is being drawn in by that selling point?

Come watch this guy for 2 years before he gets sold to Europe.

I could even get into watching a guy develop IF we could put together talent around him. They are now being seen for who they are. Its only Major league soccer development.

We are good enough to beat the best teams, and bad enough to lose to the worst teams.

Id argue the rep was trying. He has nothing to work with it, he has nothing of interest to sell. The rep was trying to make the garbage presentable, but its an impossible task.

For the most part this is true, but I can think of 10 selling points off the top of my head that I'd turn to before "look at what the owners are doing in Leipzig!"

Point out where he said whether or not he renewed.

10? Outside of obvious stuff like RBA and the playoff streak, which a season ticket holder already know about.

I can't.  I imagine he already said the stadium is nice.  After that, what is there?

It appears the reps are as tone deaf as the organization.


Maybe they have been sold on the pathway to becoming a ticket rep in Europe.

It is no longer enjoyable to come to Red Bull Arena.

 

There always used to be "Let's go Red Bulls" chants from even the non-supporter groups that would spontaneously pop-up. Don't recall a single one yesterday. Fans got up in the 92nd minute to cheer on the players on a throw-in near the corner flag and that was it. I know it's hard to get behind a team when you know they couldn't score even if the referee added 3 HOURS of stoppage time.

 

Fans were always late arriving (never understood that), but at least vocal in the past. Nowadays, they're pretty quiet and don't seem as friendly. Used to carry conversations with folks sitting nearby I never met regardless of the section and now I'm met with a puzzled look. Sadly, many adults seemed happy walking out with their bobblehead dolls and probably didn't even remember the score.  :(

 

I know some fans here would like to start Barlow over Klimala (since he's horrible), but he got a great flick-on near the 6 yard box and couldn't redirect it to the goal. He's the type of player who Eurosnobs (and others) think of when they think of MLS and specifically American players. Wolyniec obviously was not the most technical player, but you always knew he could knock in a goal coming off the bench whether it was pretty or not.

 

For the past 2 years, you arrive at a home match knowing there is a strong liklihood the team might not even score. There are no stars on the team. Yes, folks know Aaron Long from the USMNT and Coronel is great, but folks don't come to watch the goalkeeper. 

 

With the team being stingy paying for strikers and midfielders who can actually score and be creative, I'm surprised they got the small crowd they did for a mid-August match...thought it would be even less. The last marquee name was Henry and they haven't tried to get anyone decent afterwards.

yeah, and prior to that, it was the VAR chant at the end of the home game vs Colorado. the casual crowd outside of 133/101/102 just isn't as responsive, but they would be if what they're watching was better/inspiring.

I think the late arrivals always has to do with a lot of first timers who simply didn't expect there to be as much traffic / path issues that there always is. I also think a lot of those first timers never come back due to parking and traffic issues.

The second half of that might simply be that people aren't as interested in talking to strangers with after all this covid mess

The team caters to non soccer fans. All these nonsense theme nights to get people in the building. All they care about is inflating their metrics whichever way possible.

The sport, the team on the field, the actual fans are all secondary concerns.
