That security team was something else lol
The security officer herself was really nice. The β€œevent staff” people, on the other hand…

We didn’t really understand that either…or even allowing us to hang a banner in the front…
It was pulling teeth to get them to let us display our tifo that we were just pulling up over our section for like 30 seconds…not disturbing anyone else.
But we improvised 😏

FWIW - flag pole was willingly handed over by a Tulsa fan inside the stadium. πŸ€·πŸΌβ€β™‚οΈ
Didn’t have any drums, we were just naturally louder than their home support.
But that’s all I’ll say about that

It works the same way as every other year…except now we have two teams playing during June! This more than doubles the amount of games included in our Prideraiser for this year, so please be aware when making your pledge!

Sure seems like Crew2 if they win or the winner of Loudoun/Virginia Dream if they don’t seem to be the obvious third round matchups for the Hounds.

If everyone’s gonna need to be getting waivers the first five years anyway (I agree for the record) then I don’t really get the pessimism about Pittsburgh’s chances but πŸ€·πŸΌβ€β™‚οΈ

The issue is that their new stadium is aiming for 12k capacity so even they’d need a waiver to play.
So I think the bar is gonna be fairly low to qualify teams.

…year before’s results decide what teams are in D1? Or at least what teams are offered D1 the first year? Far too many unknowns at this point to even appropriately speculate.
Hell, Tuffy could get other investors to sign on in the next couple years and then that, plus the stadium expansion…

It’s not a lock for anyone at this point besides maybe Louisville imo and even then their stadium is 2/3rds empty half the time.
But of course all this is speculative atp. How many teams will this league have? Launch with over 20? Launch with 16-18? If pro/rel starts before D1 does, will the…

21.03.2025 12:26 β€” πŸ‘ 0    πŸ” 0    πŸ’¬ 2    πŸ“Œ 0

Most of the league is going to be on waivers at this rate, and the Hounds are one of a handful of teams who have a plan in place to rectify at least the stadium problem.

I wouldn’t put a single piece of stock in Reddit speculation as a source for who would or would not be in the USLD1.
If these were sources from the league, clubs, etc. then sure. Not random online fans.

Not including Pittsburgh in USLD1 from launch would be a massive mistake.
Both for the Hounds and the league. Would be fascinated to hear what USLC markets they think would belong in D1 over Pittsburgh.
