Leakers rule!

Do you think people in Philadelphia care?? It's soccer.

I care - but I am in the minority. I hope the team catches on, but I have my doubts.

So I thought people knew Soccer Corner. Hell, I'm from DC and I know it. Whatever, looks good, classy, and has a badge that actually means something. It looks like an improved version of the DTOM Nike trotted out a couple years ago.

Oh yeah, I think people care. Their grassroots supporter club, Sons of Ben, were at several games last year at RFK, and the MLS Cup in 07. Season ticket deposits will be a very good indicator, but even moreso is the number of renewals - and that's what I'm waiting to see happen with Seattle.

2,000 seats section for Sons of Ben Supporters Group is sold out

http://a1135.g.akamai.net/f/1135/182...Davis_Podcasts

According to Nick (Philly CEO and co-owner), the SoB supporters' section (2,000 strong) is already sold out. Other stuff from the Glenn Davis Podcasts:

* Sons of Ben had an influence on the Union colors and crest and likely the "Join or Die" phrase in latin.
* Sons of Ben get their own entrance on the North East side of the stadium.
* Sons of Ben get their own 2,000 seat section which they will control, separate from other sections.



The supporters section (its back to the river) will be 2000 strong and only those signed up the Sons of Ben will get tickets. $125 discount on season ticket will be worth it to the team owners. It costs $125 more to seat at the other endline. Vancouver and Portland: I hope you're watching and learning from this.
Set aside a supporters section and give a discount to the supporters section which required membership to join.

OK - stupid question time. Isn't ANYONE that buys a season ticket a team supportor?

In soccer its different. This is like sitting in the rowdy student section at a college game. This is a group of people that will be standing, shouting, singing, playing drums, the whole game.
