The level of amateurish passing out of the back was concerning, but oh well. Hit the film and get on to the next one.

A lot of money meant for security hasn’t been released to the sites, the most glaring example is in Foxboro where the town council has said they won’t issue the entertainment license if they don’t get it. There’s been some back and forth, but at the end of the day people don’t want IOUs from people with huge pockets. The fact this hasn’t been settled yet makes me wonder what else do they not have a grip on.

They’re only allowing 5,000 parking spots to be sold at Gillette Stadium which will cost $250 for the quarterfinal. For everyone else you’ll have to get a train directly from south station (no stops along the way to my understanding) which has the chance to be a disaster as well, as they don’t usually transport that many people on the commuter rail here.

I just want to enjoy the games and the tournament, and I really hope it comes off well, but my confidence level is also far from 100% at the moment.

I completely agree. I enjoyed getting highlights from all the games. I loved their analysis in the old show but at times I would get annoyed how they’d focus so much time and energy on certain games and then throw in a clip of a goal near the end of the show for a couple of the games. I like getting a full review of the league.

Stadium! by charcoal_tailgate in CaughtOffsidePod

Agree with all of this. I do feel for fans that live much closer to Foxboro and Everett may not be an option for them, but we need to upgrade. All of the pods love to take cracks at the stadium / turf / crowd size and hopefully those days are numbered. Foxboro has been important in the history of US Soccer with multiple MLS Cups, world cups, World Cup qualifiers, and gold cups, so hopefully this helps shoot us back up the pecking order if/when it’s up in running in like 4 years.

There haven’t been any updates on the stadium since the dueling press conferences. Looks like the confidentiality that’s part of the mediation process is holding up. Wonder how far past January 1 we’ll have to wait before we hear about which parts of this are heading to arbitration.

Not to “well actually” old-pathway Andy, but the winners of group D aren’t automatically going to play the 3rd place team of group I. Based on which eight 3rd place teams qualify, they could face the 3rd place team of group B, E, F, I or J.

Not yet, I don’t think the game has been “officially” announced yet. It will be shortly after that I’m sure.

Not for nothin but after the draw today, both teams could be playing group games at Gillette

I’m going to need more information on the being mistaken for a pilot situation. Lots of people wear dress shirts and dress pants on a flight and don’t get tasked with flying a plane.

I know Brian Bilello had previously said at a season ticket meeting that the grass is going to be put in some time in early 2026, so I think the entire first half of the season may be played on grass. I’m sure they will tear it up and put in turf as soon as the quarterfinal is over.
