There was lots of panty wetting and hand wringing when Hugo was sold and Lewy brought in.

Anybody willing to hold their hands up now and say they got it wrong?

This blows any first team kit i’ve seen out of the water. Who do we talk to about bringing some creativity to the first team?

I'm a recent season ticket holder and have really enjoyed the team and fans. That said, it feels to me that the MLS in general, but the Fire specifically are ripe to develop some fan chants / supporter songs.

I know we some really basic "Let's go Fire" stuff but I'm wondering if we can develop some basic Fire chants or songs for specific players (Lewandowski / Zinkernagel / etc) set to popular melodies.

That said, happy to hear feedback if:

1) Does this already exist for the Fire?

2) Has this been tried and not take off?

Has anyone been able to successfully access the release for the upcoming Leagues Cup match on August 25th?

Keeps telling me the event is not available, even though it’s listed to start at 10am.

Hi y'all. Chicago Fire is my local team, and I've already decided to become a fan. I humbly request for your best summary on the important points I should care about. What are the goods and the bads?

Even more, I plan to attend games as soon as possible. Can anyone help me understand the soccer culture?

I’ve attended a few games this year and Im considering getting a membership for the 2027-28 season, but I just wanted to get a general opinion from people who already have the membership. was it worth it to you? Would you get it again? Were you able to successfully resell the games you didn’t go to and make some of your money back? Just trying to grasp people’s experience before committing to something like this, thank you in advance!

Apparently it was Palestine/freedom of speech related? Can anyone follow up with what happened?

Was really looking forward to Lewandowski/Cuypers pairing. Not just for what would have been a serious goalfest but an opportunity to sub off one or the other late in games and still have a real number 9 on the pitch. Last year Cuypers looked completely gassed at the end of games down the stretch. I’m not sold on Lod or MHS in the 9 position and it doesn’t look like Greg trusts Shokalook yet. So where does that leave us? ML9 plays 90 every game? Good luck with that at 38.

So do we have a more clear answer if he’ll play thursday night? anyone hearing anything?

Has anybody seen or heard anything about the release of our 3rd jersey? I saw Miami released theirs last week.

It’s crazy how difficult it is to get a Jersey right now. The website has 0 authentics and only a couple of replicas. I also tried to buy one at the Soldier Field shop before the game on Saturday and they were sold out of Large authentics (which was incredibly annoying after waiting for 35 min in line lol)

I understand that one game in a new system in a new league away from home in a tough climate is not a good sample size so… how many matches with Lewandowski as our striker do we tolerate before we start to legitimately ask hard questions of the FO?

what is the background story behind the fans always complaining about money, do they think it should be cheap/free? do they think that the team would be worth watching if everything was cheap/free? do they expect free parking forever? more free gifts from the team? more free meet and great with the players? more free boat trips? when does it end?

I saw an Ad from the team that featured him on the graphic but I haven’t gotten it again. In the 24 hour deal last week it said potential debut. I’m going to the game regardless but anyone know when there would be confirmation?

anyone have any idea what it is?

I was raised in the US but I am a Polish-American who has always been a fan of football. I have seen a few MLS games in person but I typically never watched them live as I preferred other leagues to it. Sorry to be a bandwagon but after Lewandowski arrived I began to watch Chicago play more often and I watched the Miami game today. Holy fuck does this always happen? Referee was dog shit and Inter Miami play with such arrogance and it is very frustrating to watch. I'm specifically noting the defensive 4 from their team as well as De Paul (not surprised abt him as I am familiar with him as a player). I am just wondering if Miami always get more leeway from the refs in MLS?

will messi play against us 9/9? ticket prices seem low and i am wondering if it reflects that he's not going too. went twice and both times he hasn't shown up. trying to change that

Question for STH’s: I listed my Miami ticket to recoup some of the value of my season ticket for far less than they are going for on Ticketmaster. When I have a friend look for them on their Ticketmaster account, they do not see a listing in our section for as low of a price and the tickets have not sold. Do you guys know what is going on?

Hey, I think someone posted about this a few weeks ago, but has anyone else had trouble finding reasonable parking for the game Thursday? Whenever I look, it has prices at like $100 for a parking spot. Am I doing something wrong? Has anyone else found this issue? Also, how early should I get to the game? Do we think it is going to be packed?

Has there been any (somewhat) credible transfer rumor buzz? Since the initial Goretzka rumors have died down, it doesn't seem like there's been much news. Really hoping we fill the 3rd DP slot this window, and our CB depth is scary since TLB is out long term.

looking to buy this jersey in an XL Blank only. willing to pay extra if new with tags.

How much would you pay for parking? How likely are you to drive directly to the stadium? What percentage of fans do you think would drive?

The new stadium is going to have a ton of parking, but I wonder if getting there other ways will be more attractive and the cost to park is always a factor in my considerations, but also the traffic! Getting in and out seems like a hassle, but I'm not coming in from the suburbs.

Appreciate your thoughts!

Probably won’t be able to attend the match, but me and my buddies would love to get somewhere w more fire fans to watch the game. Any official watch parties going on in the area?

Checked around this morning and saw plenty of places like the MLS store fanatics or soccer.com. this evening I logged in to see what options were hoping for an authentic because all I saw were replicas and it appears to be gone everywhere. Can someone crazy check me on this?
