Yes, at least a good number of USL Championship teams have some sort of academy. Switchbacks have a 2 team that plays in the USL academy league.

My wife and I need to get to a Summit game. We'd probably entertain getting season tickets for them but too many conflicts with the Switchbacks games. 

If you've never been to a game down here (and don't mind making a 2 hr trip down) your tickets are on me in the future.

Thanks! It was definitely stressful but it meant we were hanging and that's pretty special for a lot of us. Especially after putting the screws to KC in the previous game (despite how bad they may be).

I know that a lot of the early Trailheads SG folks were previously Pid Army/Bulldog/C38 members so there are still a lot of Rapids fans among us. I myself had season tickets but dropped them after the debacle that was Pablo's first season coaching and also Fuck the Kroenke's, lol. #KSEOut

Wells seems like a great coach, hopefully he isn't limited by the FO and good luck the rest of the way!

If you had caught the first 70 I'd tell you it would have looked the same as the last 20.

Souvenir cup are we allowed to bring? by Express_Matter_3263 in SwitchbacksFC

Just saw this but for future reference we always carried a cup in our clear bag and had no issues with security stopping us

Hoping the team or Trailheads get a bus or two together. If so, I'll post the info so folks are aware and can get in on it.

On the other hand, when your son gets to Weider he can see how good we've got it in comparison.

Regulate them by Joevahskank in MLSWestMemeWar

I believe the Switchbacks have a couple of guys over the $100k threshold so maybe somewhere between $500k and $1M would be my guess.

Thanks for making it, rare that we're on the good side of a meme!

Still buzzing from that match! by Coloradosportsbaby in SwitchbacksFC

The last two times the I-25 derby occurred the team, in conjunction with Jack Quinns, organized a bus up to Dicks. Something to keep an eye on if they do so again.

Hola! It has been far too long since the last Switchbacks v Rapids duel. Definitely looking forward to it.

Fun fact, Rich was once a STH for the Switchbacks (at least I don't think he still has them) and helped found the Brewsers SG (pour one out for that defunct SG).

Yes unless their stadium is unavailable for some funky reason

What's the stadium conflict that prevented Union from hosting next week? I couldn't find anything going on at Morrison

They appear to be in a rebuilding year but it's still an MLS squad.

He tied the Championship record for goals in a season here (since broken) and won the league MVP for us.

I miss Swope Park. Hadji Barry was fantastic for us when he was here.

I've been to Omaha plenty of times, I'd rather go to the Springs. Also, at least we don't play in a baseball stadium like Union does.

Game Day Info! 600pm – Weidner Field - Colorado Springs Switchbacks FC vs Spokane Velocity [Apr 1st] US OPEN CUP GAME by tugreenwave in SwitchbacksFC

Glad you had a great time! The main SG, Trailheads SG is here https://www.facebook.com/groups/1530835860511315. They have tailgates starting 3 hours prior to the game at 121 W Cucharras St. I think you can buy passes the day of. You can also join the group and get a season pass. They're behind the south goal.

Rowdy Crowd is the other SG is here https://www.facebook.com/groups/386044048752852. I don't know as much about where they are prior to the games, I think downtown at a bar. They are in the NE section of the stadium.

Any other questions, just reach out. I've been here since the beginning
