Note: Rule 6's Supporters Section ticket clause has been removed.

In case you needed a little pick me up today.

Maren was great. Anton was great. Djé .... could use the time off.

But there's a lot to like in this one, and the team's continuing to adapt to a world without Hugo's pressing.

Looking at the last six games and the top six places. Pulled it into Excel and gave a guess as to how things play out. Second seems very possible although I'm counting on Miami having New York trouble.

Found for sale on eBay. In the early 2000s the Fire had a partnership with Monarcas Morelia, who don’t really exist anymore.

Very happy to write this one :D

I can't believe I can recycle this meme format from earlier in the season... The first time I used this meme is when Dean got his bogus red 😒

Fire scrap back after going down a man to earn their third win in a row. Now they host a hot Philly who have clawed their way back from the bottom of the table to a playoff spot.

With Chicago locked into a playoff spot, they'll look to build on their two game winning streak and carry momentum into playoffs. Chicago playing for home field advantage, with NYCFC facing a pivotal game to try to secure their spot for playoffs. Despite the desperation narrative from NYCFC's side, Chicago are strong favorites at home today.

Chicago have played well as of late, out chancing opponents on average in their last five. NYCFC with 5 points in their last five games, hoping to generate more offensive opportunities today. NYCFC seems to have Chicago's number as of late, winning all three of their last three meetings.

NYCFC like to keep the ball and build patiently (81st percentile for possession, 16th for directness). They press more than average (67th) but win the ball back deep (27th). Chicago are fairly middle-of-the-road apart from above-average possession and are very solid at generating quality chances. Chicago are 5th in MLS in xG per match (1.90).

Zinckernagel carries momentum from his incredible 2025 and continues to show out as one of MLS' best attacking players for Chicago, who are without André Franco and Robin Lod. Keep your eye on Luighi this afternoon who has played incredibly well in limited minutes after coming over on loan from Palmeiras.

What are you expecting for today's game?

Missed the Naruto shirts for the kids. Does anyone not want theirs and willing to meet up quick at the game?

Hey all! First Fire match tomorrow and I’m pumped! Any match day tips or advice to share? Thanks in advance!

I had some serious questions about his commitment and how much he had left in the tank. Especially after the Hugo fiasco.

Looks like I was wrong on both accounts. He is obviously still playing at a high level and him playing on Tuesday (the opponent probably played a part but still) right after getting back from intl duty showed a lot.

Hey all. I’m planning to go to the game against Orlando City SC later this month. It’s a Wednesday night game. There’s a ton of tickets available for pretty cheap, like midfields around $50 or even less on both the 100 and 200 level.

I’m just wondering what folks would suggest. It’s been a very long time since I’ve been to Soldier Field and I remember hating anything that had an overhang that made you feel kinda removed from the field.

Going solo, how strict are they about people moving around if there are lots of pockets of empty seats? I think they are pretty strict at Bears games, at least in the 100 level and the club levels, but if I wanted to try sitting in different areas throughout the game, do they tend to care at Fire matches?

I actually really like the 200 corner view, but it seems like it’s not on sale for this match. It looks like those seats are on sale for other matches. Do they open these later on? Can you sit there if they don’t “open” them for ticket sales? Talking sections 248-256 specifically.

Thanks everyone!
