Anyone here go to the Fanfest at Lemon Hill yesterday? The list of prohibited items is long. I'm wondering if people were bringing in a picnic blanket to sit on? Any info would be helpful. Planning to go Saturday.
Feel free to post tickets for future months as well.
Make sure you sort BY NEW to get latest post.
We did this last year with some success. Feel free to post your extra tickets, in search of tickets, trades, giveaways.
Proceed at your own caution.... check posters history and stuff to avoid issues. I don't believe we had any issues with standard tickets, but during the Messi saga there was a few sketchy things.
TV: FOX, Telemundo
Streaming: Tubi (free), FOX One, Peacock (Spanish)

Looking forward to hearing from Makhanya about the experience of playing in the WC.
It pulled out in front of me with 2 white charter busses in front and back. I was trying to figure out for the life of me what the hell the Union was doing here right before the World Cup.
And then it dawned on me that Côte d'Ivoire is utilizing Subaru Park for practices. Did the Union just shuttle them to Hershey Park for the day right before the tournament starts? lol.
I can’t find anything about Côte d'Ivoire, the Union, or even the bus being in the area.
Not a good source, but fun to speculate nonetheless.

Bought two MLS Chrome hobby boxes getting back into the hobby, I was fortunate to pull the 5/5 Cavan Sullivan on card auto with “DOOP”-end inscription. (Swipe right to see)
💥 Renaissance BGS 9 / Auto 10 💥
What started as a simple chase for a Messi card has now become in my opinion one of the best Cavan
Sullivan collections, without a 1/1, yet…
The countdown for my first PSA submissions are on for the following:
- Sapphire Auto /10 #1
- Sapphire Auto /10 #2
- Sapphire Gold Auto /50
- Chrome Gold Auto /50
- 30th Anniversary Auto 1/30
- Chrome Orange Auto 25/25
Two Cavan Sullivan Renaissances
Two Quinn Sullivan Renaissances
I like to strike while the iron is hot, as they say.

I love the Open Cup and it’s always felt like unfinished business since losing those finals in ‘14 and ‘15. Especially with the way this season has gone, it would’ve been nice to have a competition to be excited about.
I couldn’t care less about Leagues Cup and wish the league would stop trying to make it a thing. World Cup this year was the perfect opportunity to sunset Leagues Cup while saving face - could’ve canceled it for “fixture congestion” or whatever.
I’ll watch from home because I’m invested in the team, but it’s no more interesting than the preseason games in Clearwater.
in the wake of the announcement about Jim’s hiring at Austin, I really thought about how the whole thing went down when he left here. As you may recall, Jay and Ernst had that press conference where they pretty much absolved themselves of any blame and threw Jim under the bus. This is kind of a theme with Jay, he just did the same exact thing with Bradley.
Now thinking back on the press conference with Ernst, at that point, Jay and the whole ownership team knew all about the now proven allegations against Tanner. In fact, based on things I have heard along the way they knew about as it was happening. Sort of a poorly kept secret around the team about how he was, in fact I wouldn’t even call it a secret at all. I don’t know anything and I’ve heard these kinds of whispers throughout his whole tenure.
So when you go to games, when you buy merchandise, when you buy food and drink at those prices, when you give Jay Sugarman and the rest of the ownership group your hard earned money, please keep in mind what kind of low quality human beings you are funding and endorsing.
Ernst still is not fired by the way.
Edit and correction: the initial investigation was in January 2025 Jim had already been fired for a few months. That’s factually relevant. However, I do standby -of course they knew, I’m an idiot who knows almost no one and I knew. I heard such things from a few different people over the years.
The cat is out of the bag: long-time Union head coach Jim Curtin, the man who delivered much for Philadelphia, has decided to, à la LeBron James, take his talents to Austin FC.
On Tuesday, Jim was introduced to the press and gave a strong opening press conference, but most importantly, a great opening statement:

Yeah, Jim cooked.
Congratulations to him on the opportunity. Eager to see how this translates to the field in 2027.

Atlanta United owner Arthur Blank, and his son, Josh, speak to The Athletic’s Adam Crafton ahead of the soccer World Cup.
What a beautiful night! It was great to get to see Ivory Coast play up close, and I think it may be a core memory for my kids. U2 put up a valiant effort against one of the best teams on earth, and it was such a joy to have the IC fans at Subaru Park!
Not filled but the atmosphere is lovely. People are excited to see the teams
One final piece of information ahead of tonight's match between Union II and the Ivory Coast:
PARKING IS NOT FREE -- parking will be $10.
It seems there was a mistake in last night's email (6/7), but it was corrected today.
I checked with Union PR, and they confirmed that IT WILL NOT BE FREE TO PARK.
While maybe not noteworthy to most, the Union have placed privacy curtains around the players lot. The current head of security is very anti player fan interaction and did this to ensure it would stop. I think this is really sad on multiple fronts. The players enjoy the interactions and support from the fans. I have watched many kids and families interact with players as well, and it always appeared positive and to only build a stronger bond between players and supporters. The fact that there was already a fence and a considerable walk that most players would have to make to reach the waiting fans, it was very easy for players to just wave or keep about their business if they did not feel like interacting. Almost every player would chose to interact on most nights if asked. Players should be entitled to their space, but they had that already. This step taken by the Union is a clear reflection in my opinion of how little they value the fans and their experience.
For reference, there are several other clubs that have similar set ups to the Union, but openly invite player fan interactions that I have personally witnessed at locations like DC, Orlando, and Portland.
At this point in the season with us being the very last team and starting over, would you like to see Quinn later this summer or just let him continue to rest for next season?
