Katie Lampson delivered goals that Gotham FC supporters will never forget.

Lampson authored some of the biggest moments in club history, and she lifted one last title in the 2026 NWSL Challenge Cup before announcing her retirement Tuesday.

"I’m hanging ‘em up, proud of all that this career has brought me – the good, the bad, the highs and lows. I’ll always be thankful for the journey and cherish the lessons learned. A special thank you to my family, who rode the coaster with me, supporting me no matter how far I traveled."

Hey y'all! Definitely am not going to pester you every week but just wanted to pop this in here one more time after an early rebrand. I think we have this thing down now and look forward to expanding to new parts of this project. The second episode of my new podcast is posted to wherever you listen to podcasts most likely. Spotify, Apple, Amazon, Podcast Addict, etc.

I appreciate anyone who tuned in so far, and would love if you checked it out if you have not. So far it has been a lot of game coverage, but look to cover culture around the league as well as the issues when they arise. Also looking into how to get a behind the scenes segment started.

Because of this I also am looking for someone with a perspective that aligns more with the issues that face players in this league. If anyone is interested in being a part of a project such as this please reach out! My main goal of this whole thing is to give the team the coverage they deserve and to highlight the wins and losses on and off the field, and be inclusive of all in this community.

Ok, I am done for now. Thank you and go Gotham!

Anyone else feeling kind of robbed as a STM holder this season. Not having the next truly home game until August is crazy. I’m sorry, but I’m not counting the one in Queens.

Any idea where the 3700 section is? I’m probably not going anyway because the dang stadium is over 2 hours away. I’m really over this season. Definitely not getting my money’s worth.

hi all! i have quite a few extra posters that were handed out at gotham games over the years. not sure if all of them are in pristine condition, but if anyone is interested i’d be more than happy to send you pics of what i have and send them your way! want to declutter some of my nwsl stuff i have lol
