My fiancé and I are getting married in Detroit in August and hosting a weekend of activities. One of our group activities is a Thursday night bar crawl. We’ll have about 40 people, so we’re looking for bars that have enough space to accommodate a group our size. Our ideal plan is to hit three spots, maybe starting with a great cocktail bar, moving to another fun bar with a lively atmosphere, and possibly ending the night at a dive bar. We’d love any recommendations that would work well for a group this large on a Thursday night!

my camera doesnt capture movement well ..its fun to save these memories nonetheless. I was the weirdo w the digicam if u saw me btw hii. DCFC FOREVER <3

look im new here so i dont have a single clue who is on our team and what sub position they play so give me some slack but who’s our best players striker and whats this club culture like?

Have been checking on and off for a couple months and no luck 😔

I think I remember getting very early emails fundraising in/around 2012ish and maybe this was something the club sold for fundraising? Been in my closet a decade, never been to a match (yet). What's the origin of this shirt?

I’m wondering where & when they reliably announce delays and postponements, particularly considering today’s air quality. FB, Insta, web, etc? (Their online presence seems spotty & inconsistent.)

Super excited to make it out after a couple years of catching games on screens from NW-MI. My one birthday request was a 4-ticket Amicci's party pack, so we're heading to the family section. We're planning to do the march to the match. How does that work with catching Stoop Lee on Saturday? Is it one or the other? Any tips, including wisdom for when to actually grab food? :) Thankful and looking forward to being there at Keyworth. DCTID.

Just wanted to stop by and say it was great having you this weekend. It’s always fun when you see good away support. Especially, in what was basically a glorified friendly.

It’s been tough in League 1 without any real rivals within 5 hours drive. I’m hoping we get an away day at Detroit or Indy in the cup next year so I can make the trip. Not sure if it’ll be done for next season but I’ve seen renderings for your new home and it looks amazing.

Either way, thanks for coming out. Good luck to you the rest of the Championship season. BEAT INDY!

Anyone coming to the Fort Wayne game next Saturday let me know yer food preference and I will clue you in as to where to eat. FW actually has a robust food scene.

First tip, the best beer in FW is at Hop River. It is ten minutes to the stadium: straight down Spring St. which turns into Bass Rd.

City ‘till I die!

Super normal Thursday game

Anyone know why the event was closed off for the Mexico v. Ecuador game? Walked up with my family saw the Sean Mann and a few other staffers talking to a swell of Cops, but they stopped letting folks in and were about to clear the parking lot.

Was always confused why it wasn’t ticketed like the campus martius ones are, given that they were getting very large crowds for the group stage here at Los Galanes.

Any suggestions on where to go watch in southwest now? Would love any shouts.

Anyone else having a rough season ticket experience (new policies that impact experience, poor communication, loss of value, etc.)?

I have had tickets for multiple years and had nothing but positive experiences previously.

Appreciate any insight folks may have.

I think that the whole politicalization of this club has been getting a bit out of hand. People are coming to Keyworth just to make their political standings known. Some things need to be detached from soccer. When you go to a game, it doesn’t need to be a pride rally. You sit there for 90 minutes, participate in the chants, and cheer on the players. This is football. Your random pride flag or Palestine flag? Fine. But making everything about these movements is just tiring at the club. The jerseys don’t need to be rainbow. Your entire supporter section does not need to be waving a flag that doesn’t have anything
to do with the sport.

You can 100% have pride rally’s and protests or whatever you want to do outside of the sport. And I fully encourage it. But it should not creep into the clubs identity. The second that rainbow colors and flags start overpowering the rouge and gold, you’ve gone too far. Too many people could care less about the club, and go to essentially protest. Spend the time and money you’ve spent to protest at Keyworth to go to an actual rally where it won’t affect this club.

And that’s why he wasn’t in the lineup last night. He refused to play because of the pride warmup jerseys. The coaching staff asked if they could skip wearing them and they said no, so he refused to play. Just so everyone knows he’s a hateful piece of shit!

if you have been watching the World Cup and saw that Curaçao drew against Ecuador, they drew and their goalie plays for Maimi FC… get ready for that game!

6 point day

The American Tifo installation at the Fort Worth Museum of Science and History opened this past weekend and it looks wonderful! The exhibition includes pieces from a handful of American supporter groups, including the Northern Guard Supporters.

I'm really excited to see all of the creativity and passion from NGS displayed alongside amazing pieces from other SGs across the country.

I can't wait to get down there and see it myself!
