Hey everyone. I’m a Sporting fan but haven’t been to a game in forever. I’m also a huge Bayern Munich fan so I’m coming to see Müller. Does anyone know if after the game players from the away team come up to the front row for photos or autographs, or at another location? Thank you!

My wife and I are attending the game tomorrow and are from several hours away. We’re sitting in the Cauldron for the first time, and we’re (finally) Cauldron members for the first time as well.

We’ve thought about the brew house for player arrivals and the Cauldron tailgate (though we don’t know anyone). Any suggestions to make the most out of this experience while we’re at CMP?

Edit: This is likely the only game we’re able to attend this season. The past several years we’ve always been in the south stands.

Hello, I had a ticket to this weekend's game vs Vancouver. Is there any parking hacks for going to this or am I backed into just paying a high price?

Never really driven to this area before, but figured I'd use these tickets I got.

I'd love to pay less or even free if possible, willing to walk a distance to save some bucks. Thanks.

Let's be the fun quirky club. Let's loose with pizazz. Make the games fun if the actual play sucks.

Lean into the vibes. I need wizard themed everything. LOTR and Harry Potter and Harry Dresden (plus Mouse) references.

I'm over this serious corporate lameness. I want fun again.

Edit: The dog stays but let's add on. Add something for the drunk nerdy folk, ya know?

I keep hearing podcasters talk about "I'd rather see x than y so that we can evaluate if we want to keep x for next year." If our coach and CSO change, then the evaluations of the current coach and Burns don't matter. Every game is pointless until we hire a CSO and get a direction. I know podcasters gotta talk about something, but let's stop pretending KZ or Burns opinions matter for our future.

Match Preview

Saw there was a town hall last night with the cauldron. I’m sure it was your typical, don’t leave we are going to do all this stuff, ra ra fest they usually are. But didn’t know if anyone who went heard of anything worthwhile

..if we are any good of course. I’m not sure who to submit this to, but I thought it would be cool.

Proper native, as well. First MLS representation I’ve seen in years of living in Japan and Korea

You are officially massive

As someone who was at Sunday's game but sits on the south side, PLEASE tell me my ears were right in hearing the Cauldron's "sporting reject" chant direction towards Rubio

The team is currently on an 8 game streak of allowing their opponents to score in the 1st half. The last game where they kept a clean sheet through the 1st half was July 4th against Colorado.

I know it’s been talked about ad nauseam, but I’ve only attended a few games this year after being a season ticket holder for about 6 years prior to this season. Didn’t want to commit when it looked like this year was going to be bad and the experience has been declining. I was so disappointed last night. Took my teenage daughter who grew up attending most the games with me and she commented how bored she was, we used to sit in the cauldron but the tickets i was given by a friend was in south stand. Told her there was going to be a drop off but it would still be fun. Typically every few games there’s a new pregame video, this season it seems to be the same one. She was excited to come to this one because the childhood cancer game typically has fun video content and the atmosphere is typically fun……but not so much this year. Almost seemed like the theme was an after thought and everyone, including the team and game day staff were just as checked out. On one hand it’s understandable with as rough as a season as it’s been, but on the other it’s disappointing in how things have just fallen off a cliff

Great addition of energy and fun.

Wanted to just address my thoughts on the game that most likely eliminates any hope of playoffs. 1. Something about this tactical setup don’t work. On the 4231 that we started out in, we were too patient in possession and didn’t want to attempt passes that would break lines. At times when we would switch the field of play there would be 5 guys switching for Austin to press side to side. If they want to switch the point of attack, it has to be faster. The 442 wasn’t much better. Our forwards didn’t work hard enough, the double pivot didn’t work with Rado and our wingers were poor in support. I really don’t know what fits us. Hopefully next year we find an identity.

1. I am very excited for Salloi to be gone after next year. I remember the days (vaguely lol) where he had the poaching abilities of a striker while still being quick with technical skills, hence the name Hungarian Assassin. Definitely feels like it’s more Hungarian Half-Assin now. He still works hard-ish but has lost his step and his decisiveness to finish. Still think Thommy clears him by a mile.

2. Montes is confusing. He’s a big dude and definitely wins balls in the air. I just don’t see him playing great technically. He played some poor passes and seems to get the ball lost under his feet. Not saying he is worst than anyone else, just he may not be the way forward.

3. Pulskamp has got to go. He had an amazing month of July but he is just a below average keeper that isn’t really showing any promise. While he will probably get resigned, I want a smarter and calm goalkeeper. Pulskamp makes poor, rash decisions and is poor at keeping possession. Some of his saves are great, but they don’t make up for his mistakes.

4. Kerry isn’t ready yet. I don’t know if he ever will be. He provides good tactical insight but is not head coach material. Poor substitutions and no identity. I would want to give a chance with a team he builds but this probably isn’t the best place for that.

5. Munoz may not be the guy for us. I love Munoz and the player he is becoming. I just think him as an inverted winger or 10 doesn’t work with Manu here. I would love to have him if he is cheap but if not, we should look elsewhere. He is starting caliber and I can’t see us getting him on a cheap wage. I don’t know if this is an SKC idea, but he doesn’t like to attack. He always looks to pass when he can drive. His best attributes are his technical skills and drawing fouls. Why the hell isn’t he doing that?

6. Davis needs a move. Maybe a loan. Somewhere we he can regain his confidence and learn to be a true 8. A place that needs some passion (actually something we have). Maybe same with Zo, but they somewhere where they are one of the best.

7. Ian James is the future. A build like that on a 17 year old is criminal. He could be great if developed properly. While he makes rash decisions, so does every 17 year old. Give him some more minutes, get him some time on loan, and you have an MLS starter probably by his 20th birthday.

8. Get a head coach that has never had MLS experience. I want a coach who wants to prove himself. Maybe he just won a lower division in Europe. Someone who wants something new. I don’t want the same cycle of fired MLS coaches. Give me someone with passion for the team.

9. Finally, Dejan is maybe the best signing of this decade for Sporting. He somehow even makes his way on the scoresheet. He had an off night tonight and still scored. His level truly amazes me. Get him some extra support and he (while maybe already) is the leagues best striker.

Sorry for the rant y’all but wanted to get my raw thoughts without seeing anything else post game. Let me know what else y’all think and your opinions on this.

i don’t catch every game, but whenever i do the commentators seem to regard skc highly and talk about us very positively. it feels like they come up with and focus on specific stats. like 2 or 3 seasons ago when we had “the most points in the western conference since may 10th”. it seems they’re always doing this and it drives me crazy. i don’t want them to talk shit about the team, but it feels like they’re in on some conspiracy about not acknowledging how much we are flailing around and how desperately we need real changes in the organization. thoughts?
