Red Wolf Posted October 14, 2020 Share Posted October 14, 2020 I've never had single-person season tickets, but it is worth noting that I have had fun at sporting events with total randos. I think it's one of those things that seems like it would be super awkward but ends up being way less weird than one would think. Sort of like going to a theater alone. It feels odd in concept, but in execution really isn't that big of a deal. I don't know, live your life. If attending games in-person is important enough, make it happen. EDIT: People tend to be people. High five a stranger... Well, after we're done doing a pandemic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dilbert Posted October 15, 2020 Share Posted October 15, 2020 Coming into tonight Cincinnati had only scored twice since the MLS is back tournament. Tonight they doubled that and actually won beating Columbus 2-1 in the fourth Hell is Real Derby this season. We also played tonight with our third stringer in goal with Bobby Edwards as our starter Przemysław Tytoń and our backup Spencer Richey both injured. Today FCC also signed their first ever Homegrown player Beckham Sunderland, a 17 goalkeeper who was signed at noon today. He was our backup tonight.

My wife and I have sit in the Sons of Ben section at Union games. It is hard not to get swept up in the excitement of singing and chanting. I would totally sit in that section by myself as well.

4_tattoos Posted October 15, 2020 Share Posted October 15, 2020 In my experience people tend to flake on going to sporting events. Got tired of missing out because I had nobody to go with, so I started going solo. Never did a full season tickets though. Most I did was a 6 game partial season ticket plan with the Washington Nationals during the 2012 season. Besides that I just go to individual games. I do go out my way to see if anybody else is interested in joining me though. Hotter Than July > Thriller Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I especially loved Nick Hagglund's Ickey Shuffle when he scored the second goal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corvus Posted October 15, 2020 Share Posted October 15, 2020 Somehow the Whitecaps, objectively a terrible team, with one of the worst goal differentials in the league, beat LAFC last night and are currently in a playoff spot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FiddySicks Posted October 16, 2020 Share Posted October 16, 2020 On 10/14/2020 at 7:59 AM, B-Rich said: Actually, it is. Part of the attraction of going to games, especially on a full season/season ticket basis, is to share the experience with others you know. Many years back I shared a pair of Saints season tickets with a friend; we enjoyed going to the games together. I have LSU season tickets (a pair) and always take a good friend, daughter, nephew; occasionally a neighbor or co-worker. By this point I also know all the other season ticket holders around my seats really well, so I wouldn't "be alone" during a game now if I went to one season ticket. But to me, it's not just the game itself; it's the whole game-day experience. While I've been to HUNDREDS of sporting events, I can count on my fingers the times I've gone to sporting events COMPLETELY alone-- and it has been usually that in those cases it was by necessity -- I was by myself and out of town, on a business trip or solo vacation, and most often attended a baseball game (just to check off a stadium and have something entertaining to pass the time). But to do that for a whole season for a home team? No thank you. I had a single seat for the ass 2013 Diamondbacks. Loved every second of it. Going to sporting events solo was strange at first, but once you get the hang of it (and don’t mind socializing with strangers here and there) it’s great. Highly recommend it. It’s a totally different way to take in a game. On 11/19/2012 at 7:23 PM, oldschoolvikings said: She’s still half convinced “Chris Creamer” is a porn site.)

FiddySicks Posted October 17, 2020 Share Posted October 17, 2020 That’s fine. The union between the independent clubs and the feeder teams was bound to end in its current form eventually because the structure in the top parts of the lower leagues has advanced beyond that being a necessity by now. The USL is sort of bloated a bit too already IMO so it’s good to trim some of the fat. I don’t know how this will effect the talent in the league, but structurally it feels like sort of a natural transition. It’s really amazing to see how much the USL has grown in the past half decade.

Dilbert Posted October 20, 2020 Share Posted October 20, 2020 Covid strikes again. Some dissapointing news from indoor soccer. The MASLs Milwaukee Wave, the oldest continuously operating indoor soccer team, will sit out the upcoming 2020-21 MASL season after playing 36 seasons since 1984. The Wisconsin Center District, who operates the UW Milwaukee Panther Arena where the Wave play, prepared a budget assuming that there will be no games until fall of 2021 based on the current health department limits. Not sure how this will affect the arenas other tenants (Milwaukee Panthers, Milwaukee Adrmirals) Signature intentionally left blank Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
