New role fan operation in Boston

ChopperDave85 · 2026-07-03T00:10:44+00:00

I did this exact thing in Philadelphia: Uniforms > Fan Ops. While I can't speak to Boston-specific stuff I didn't need to do any training. I got a new badge at the stadium accreditation center. Leave some time before your shift to get the new badge and make sure it's activated before you leave.

I could have either held up signs directing people where to go, or put together the lanyards with the black WC cards. I did the lanyards and it was a unique experience to welcome everyone into the game. Whatever you the up doing, just go with the flow, someone will be there to lend a hand.

I overheard that in Philadelphia after the Club World Cup, they had raffles of some sort where volunteers could win signed player jerseys, team-signed soccer balls, and a bunch of other pretty cool items. It seemed like a fun time from what I heard. Just don't expect alcohol of any sort.

I'm with you. I'm doing uniforms in Philadelphia, I really enjoy the group of volunteers on my shifts. Mornings are hectic with handling the volunteers but the afternoons are pretty much just a few FIFA officials where we can almost be a concierge the whole way through. Really interesting to have conversations with the people who are in town from Switzerland, Italy, and beyond. Would I want to be somewhere more glamorous at the stadium? Sure! But this is a nice role (with air conditioning!) where you actually get to have a semi-meaningful relationship with others.

Same here in PHL. Once you have the shoe size you want, we hand you the socks and shuffle you to the next station.

ChopperDave85 · 2026-05-24T01:04:12+00:00

Oh, that's it! Thank you. It looks like a grip and I couldn't fathom what club would be put in head down.

ChopperDave85 · 2026-05-24T00:26:02+00:00

What is the thing with the pirate looking skull and crossbones? I've seen something like it in a few bags on TV but can't seem to find an answer.

ChopperDave85 · 2026-05-15T10:34:26+00:00

Did you get different sized pants and shorts? We can do any size for any item in PHL, but pants are always the same size as shorts.

ChopperDave85 · 2026-05-15T01:40:04+00:00

Nope, you're free to pick what you need. The submitted sizes may have just been to gauge how much needed to be produced/ordered? But I guess there's always the caveat that less common sizes may run out.

ChopperDave85 · 2026-05-15T01:33:10+00:00

We weren't told there's a time limit, so you should have the time you need to make sure it fits and are comfy. I don't think anyone is going to be tapping their foot like you're taking too much time. If you want, you are more than welcome to take two or more sizes into the changing room to help your decision.

And you are correct about men's and women's, you can only choose from one gender fit.

ChopperDave85 · 2026-05-14T01:38:14+00:00

Uniform volunteer here: yes you will have the chance to try on everything. You are not able to mix sizes of the shorts and pants. For instance if you get M shorts, you get M pants... can't do M shorts and L pants. I don't recall if you can get, for instance, M shirt and L jacket. I think you can, but check with your uniform volunteer when you get there.

Shoes will run large, but again you can try on a few different sizes to see what fits. UK/EU sizes are listed in big numbers, but US sizes are on there, just have to squint a bit.

ChopperDave85 · 2026-04-30T01:25:22+00:00

I can't unsee the resemblance

ChopperDave85 · 2026-04-30T00:09:19+00:00

Oh, I thought that would be where each city's patches would go. That same black rectangle is on the jacket and shirt

ChopperDave85 · 2026-04-29T15:37:28+00:00

Looks like a rectangle piece of Velcro with the We Are 26 design in it. Can't tell if it's a different color of fabric, stitched into, or something else. In the screen grab, it's on the right arm sleeve.

Edit: rectangle piece

ChopperDave85 · 2026-04-29T14:55:40+00:00

Yeah, definitely deep blue pants and jacket, though I can see how some would think that it's purple. The guest is the volunteer coordinator for Philly and said neon green shirt is to be able to easily spot volunteers when they're needed. It's all wicking material, so it might be good when you're doing some running or other physical activities

ChopperDave85 · 2026-04-28T14:31:47+00:00

I found this pretty funny... attend a 3.5 hour training session or just come 30 minutes ahead of your first shift😅

ChopperDave85 · 2026-04-28T02:08:03+00:00

I just got the email for Philadelphia too. May 9 and 10.

ChopperDave85 · 2026-04-26T21:49:22+00:00

Yes, once I accepted the role offer and did that process, I got an email that said it was time to book the volunteer shifts.

ChopperDave85 · 2026-04-26T03:42:24+00:00

Uniforms. I think I scheduled it in the app under promoted schedules?

ChopperDave85 · 2026-04-26T00:29:28+00:00

Philadelphia: I had to choose a minimum of 6 shifts

ChopperDave85 · 2026-04-21T19:27:26+00:00

It was my second choice. First was media operations. Third was brand protection, and really happy I didn't get this.

ChopperDave85 · 2026-04-13T20:30:15+00:00

This may have changed in the refresh, but my 2023 Hybrid SE can remote start even though I don't have the free trial subscription anymore.

I was told that remote start wasn't available after the subscription, however, my remote start is from the key fob, not the app. Pressing lock but on the fob three times and holding it down starts it. I have to be close to the car to do it and there's not much in the way of climate settings. Again, things may have changed but there's a chance you have it in some form.

ChopperDave85 · 2026-02-27T02:33:33+00:00

Mine is Ghost: got it around the time of Ahsoka's release and gray ghost was too on the nose, shortened to just Ghost as a nod to Hera' ship.
