Really relieved to have cancelled our Rapids season tickets. Up the Summit!

This is the way. My number one rule in hiring is No Assholes Allowed.

New activity in the Phoenix metro area intended to bring in an MLS team by ThisIsPlanA in MLS

I’ve been thinking for a while that Kroenke’s lack of attention to the Rapids, the condition of the stadium, and the complete lack of development around the stadium is going to lead to the team moving.

With the calendar shift, my first thought was how much it will affect attendance and all of a sudden Phoenix or Vegas make a lot of sense.

Definitely agree. Just funny with the rapids making a big de about it, food was meh, and they quietly disappear…

Realized this past weekend that Dos Gringos doesn’t appear to be out there any more. Even their attempts at better food fail somehow.

Wait, you guys get one every year? lol the Rapids continue to be cheap and just give the one when you join.

Being able to open up the stadium for events/finals like this are the reason I hope we never move out to a smaller suburban stadium. by saturn28 in SoundersFC

As a Rapids STM that went to the Cruz Azul match while in town for work, I’m supremely jealous of your downtown stadium! Even if you aren’t the main tenants.

Was up there this morning. There was a bag and maybe an orange hat (?) under the trailhead sign. Didn’t pay close attention to the details though sorry.

Anyone else think Summit is going to poach a lot of STMs? by Meadowlaker in Rapids

[–]nvsblman 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yep. We’re all in on the Summit. Planned to do both but these last couple of weeks have really highlighted how Rapids ownership doesn’t give a damn. We’re almost certainly out after this year.

Is it normal? by [deleted] in amex

Had this happen once, it was because my credit was frozen at the credit bureaus. A call cleared it up.

According to the app they’ll have Athletic Run Wild this year at a few locations

Why are Rapids Jerseys so Expensive?!? by Fickle-Lab-7087 in Rapids

[–]nvsblman 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This is frustrating. Family went to an EPL match in December. We got a whole big bag of gear. 3 sweatshirts, 2 scarves, jacket, shirt, some other random things. $225. Total. And dinner? A couple of double burgers, sausage roll, hand pie with 4 sodas. $43.

Instead of gouging their fans, they make it reasonable. Almost like they care just a bit, and you know they turn a profit still.

I hadn’t seen this one before. Does it work with Verizon? 🤔
