I put down a deposit for season tickets for 2027. I was planning on getting a seat near the south endline. However, I'm curious how one gets to sit in the supporters section. Do I need to buy my season ticket for there? Do I have to pay to join the group? Can I sit sometimes in my seat and sometimes go to the supporters section? Also, side note, what is the vibe like in the supporters section? Is it social? Loud?

Drop any excitement, surprises or complaints below. Who is joining back for 2027?

There is an Indycar race downtown this weekend. I’m trying to post the map but I can’t get it to work…. But it is on the actual streets of DC and goes around the White House and capital. There is activity Saturday and Sunday with the main race green flag at 1 on Sunday. There will be lots of roads shut down and heavy foot traffic in the area so if you are traveling in you’re going to need extra time!

This is a thread for all post-match reactions, thoughts, analysis, articles and social media posts related to the match.

Note: This thread is scheduled and may appear shortly before the final whistle so everyone has a place ready for post-match reactions and analysis.

Help! If we had field level tickets for this weekends game, which side would be better for an autograph from Marta? Seems obvious to say the seats closest to their bench, but they all have to walk out the opposite direction (past the home bench) so questioning my decision🫩We have all the Spirit players signatures!

Welcome to this week’s open discussion thread!

This is your space for general discussion, a place to talk about anything Washington Spirit that doesn’t necessarily need its own thread. That can include news, international duty, roster moves, transfer rumors, tactics, social media posts, league news or anything else on your mind.

If something feels big enough for its own thread, definitely still post it. This is simply an additional option to keep us organized and help keep the conversation flowing. These threads will go up every Monday and stay stickied throughout the week.

Go Spirit!

15 or so minutes. Standard topics: Man City childhood, Lionesses and 2025 Euros, why came to America, city spirit/Audi fans, etc.

(Goal call for Setnor before disallowed) What is going on at ESPN?

Hello everyone, I’m looking at tickets for our home games and was wondering if the All-Inclusive Cabana that behind the Goal is worth it for getting a chance to meet the players, worth it for the price or if I should just stick to the field seats (F section)

Thanks!

Trin is so funny and a great watch even off the field. She talks about the USWNT, her Spirit contract and signing babies' foreheads.

I’ve been thinking about these last two losses a lot, especially the Courage game, and honestly I’m still not that worried about the Spirit yet. Obviously losing two straight at home sucks, and going down 3-0 in 15 minutes absolutely cannot happen, but I also feel like it’s really easy to overlook the positives when the final result is a loss.

We literally fought back from 3-0 to 3-3 and were inches away from potentially making it 4-3 with Hal’s shot off the post. If we had held onto the draw, I feel like the conversation around that game would be completely different even though 99% of the performance would’ve been exactly the same.

My biggest concern honestly isn’t even the two losses themselves. It’s how predictable our attack has become. It feels like teams know we’re going to progress down one of the wings and then look for the pass centrally. Sometimes we get right outside the box with a decent shooting opportunity and instead pass it around looking for the perfect chance until the defense gets completely organized. I’d love to see us attack through the middle more, take more shots when the opportunity is there, and just give defenses more things to think about.

I also think we sometimes get too conservative once we have a lead. Obviously you don’t want to play recklessly when you’re up 2-0, but I also don’t want the other team knowing that we’re basically going to put it in park. Make them worry that if they start throwing numbers forward, we might make it 3-0.

Saturday actually showed me the mentality I want to see more often. Once we were down 3-0, suddenly there was urgency, players were taking chances, and we became much harder to defend. Obviously you can’t play with that level of risk all the time, but I’d love to see that same decisiveness without needing to go three goals down first lol.

There are definitely things to fix, especially defensively, and these last two results hurt. But with 11 games left, I’m nowhere near ready to say this team isn’t a contender anymore. I think the response over the next few games is going to tell us a lot.

Curious how everyone else is feeling now that we’ve had a little time to process the Courage game. Are you genuinely worried, or do you think this is just a rough stretch they can work through?
