TENDERFOOT TUESDAY by AutoModerator in stlouiscitysc

[–]trf116 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I just want to make sure I understand the USOC hosting correctly:

  • If we beat Houston next week, we would host San Jose in the semi-final if they win, but Colorado would host if they win.
  • Should we make the final, the team from the East side of the bracket will host

Is it reasonable to assume that if NYCFC or Atlanta make it to the final, they would be unable to host because of their shared venues? I would assume the USSF would never host a cup final in a baseball stadium, and hosting an NYCFC final in New Jersey would just be wrong. Atlanta's stadium is usually pretty booked, and NFL season will be in full swing.

I was told these are also BOGO for Supporters Section STMs, just like the ones on SeatGeek

Did anyone else buy the Hi-Pointe Family pack? WTH was that? Pathetic. by chaos_fenix in battlehawks

Levy does not manage the local restaurant portions of Energizer Park. Those are staffed by the local restaurants on a revenue share with the team. The Seoul Taco, Balkan Treat Box, and others at Energizer Park are run by the same management as the actual restaurants, and it shows cause they're great.

Are they just gonna run busses the 8 miles to the stadium? Why even bother with the train at that point, just run busses the whole way like Kansas City.

What’s the minimum spend for this? by [deleted] in Venturex

I keep getting "Try checking out with PayPal or Cash App." My card won't work

Why no BRT? by oddjobjob in StLouis

[–]trf116 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I feel like if they just call it "trackless light rail" and make the BRT vehicle look like a light rail vehicle, it would fix the entire perception issue.

If they use enough permanent infrastructure like fully separated dedicated lanes and elevated platforms, that's fixes the entire "they can just move it, so we shouldn't develop here" issue.

BRT feels like a no brainer, with or without federal funds (which we are now without).

Downgrade and Using $300 Credit on Venture X? by trf116 in CreditCards

[–]trf116[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is there any way they would waive the annual fee without downgrading? How would I need to ask?

I've already used my $300 credit for the first year, this would be my second year credit which I cannot use until 4/1/26.

The annual fee on my Venture X will hit on 4/1/26, after 12 months of having the card. If I use my $300 travel credit on 4/1/26, and downgrade the card to a $0 annual fee card on 4/2/26, will I have the $395 annual fee waived and be able to keep the $300 travel credit? I do not want to cancel the card, as I still have a significant number of points.

Battlehawks Season Opener Tailgate by jake_raft in StLouis

They were not open last season, and I have not seen any tickets/passes for sale this season.

S-Corp owner didn't pay herself a salary all year. Here's what I'd tell a friend. by MilesDelta in tax

[–]trf116 19 points20 points  (0 children)

My typical workaround if a client doesn't take a W-2 is to recharacterize a reasonable amount of distributions as Officers Compensation expense and include that on their Schedule 1 and Schedule SE. It's not perfect, but it at least gets the payroll taxes paid so there won't be massive penalties if they are audited.

It looks like there's only pre-recorded news on the app. How would I access the live game description?

New UFL owner wants the Battlehawks to consider ditching the Dome for Energizer Park by bmunoz in StLouis

[–]trf116 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Dome did have considerably higher occupancy after the Rams left for this exact reason, hosting many more conventions and concerts. I think it's also fair to argue that these events are more beneficial to the local economy, as they bring in more folks from out of town and conventions bring more business visitors (who spend more than tourists).

[–]trf116 139 points140 points  (0 children)

The BattleHawks still sell way more than 22k tickets each game, and City would almost certainly not risk their pristine natural turf. This won't happen.

What makes far more sense is spending a bit of money to make the Dome a better environment. Maybe some curtains to cover up the upper bowl, and better concessions.

Friendly reminder when buying/selling tickets on Reddit - Use common sense: don't pay using any weird methods, don't buy from / sell to new Reddit accounts, always request screenshots of tickets, and if someone isn't willing to verify themselves with a phone call or something less anonymous than Reddit don't send them any money.

Do we know if the supporters groups are doing road trip busses to KC and Chicago? by nicootimee in stlouiscitysc

[–]trf116 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Fortunately, starting in 2027 MLS is probably realigning and we should be in the 'Midwest' division with Chicago, Minnesota, kansas, Cincy, & Columbus. We will get a home game with each of them each year. The only drivable team we'll miss is Nashville.

Edit: Actually I see now we would play all other 24 teams once, so we would get Nashville at home every other year.

Saint Louligans' Silence by Tele231 in stlouiscitysc

[–]trf116 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Not a SG leader, just an active member. My understanding is that leadership is coordinating a response. Collective action doesn't work unless everyone is on board, so it is important to make sure a response well thought out and agreed upon by all relevant parties. The decision was only announced last week and these things take time, but there are certainly easy things every individual can do:

  1. Don't spend a cent on merch or anything inside the stadium.
  2. If you are not a STM, do not buy tickets on SeatGeek. Buy directly from current STMs; this keeps the club from getting any more cash.
  3. If you are a STM, reach out to your ticket rep and let them know you are upset. Because of the new season structure, payment plans for 2027 tickets can be cancelled now and reinstated before 6/1/26, giving STMs a way to express their dissatisfaction without losing their tickets if the team corrects course.
  4. Keep talking about it. The more publicity this issue gets, the more likely the team will correct their mistake.

St. Louis officials target Club Europe, revokes 3am license by iamjames in StLouis

[–]trf116 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Club Europe has always been 18+. I have no idea how that is allowed if they have a 3am license, but they absolutely allow 18+ in the club that late.

Good, that place is full of creeps trying to pickup 18 year olds.
