    Do you think we can get heated seats i'm just looking out the window at the weather as i watch the playoffs and that might be something we need.

    (Paywall) Allianz Field: a beautiful stadium built for the beautiful game
    https://theathletic.com/714683/2018...autiful-stadium-built-for-the-beautiful-game/


    Highlights

    “This week, we did a testing of the plumbing systems,” Huber said. “We did what’s referred to as a superflush. Basically, we had a bunch of people go through and flush every toilet. We’ve had some of those go really poorly. One of the first times we did that was at the Xcel Energy Center in 2000. The routine wasn’t very well-scripted, and we ended up flooding one of the locker rooms. We learned a lot from it, which is exactly why you do those.”

    ----

    “We’ve been very careful about testing and planning with the placement of our cameras,” McGuire said. “We’ve done a lot of sun studies both for the grass as well as what could be in somebody’s eye at any given time. The roofline is designed to help lower the light on the east side for people looking west.”

    After camera crews struggled to capture corner kicks during MLS Cup in Atlanta this month, that will come as a relief to many. There are 12 feet of grass between the outer concrete ring and the corner flags, allowing both adequate space to run up for a corner as well as room for appropriate camera angles.

    I would love to know, as I put the request in a couple times through the customer service thread, and somewhere in the moderator's forum as well. Gave up a year or so ago. :(

    Home Opener single tickets just became available for STH's. I was able to get two extra seats, which happen to be in our section. Pretty expensive.

    Hope they have some deals for the rest of the year, such as getting a "5 pack", etc...


    EDIT: guess I was lucky to get in there in the first minute of the sale, as it looked like they were sold out in less than 3-4 minutes.
