    I don't think there's an ongoing CFC thread, and I couldn't find a 2014 version, so I figured I'd make one.

    CFC just announced ticket prices for 2014: http://www.chattanoogafc.com/news/2014-ticket-prices.

    The single-game price at the stadium is being raised to $7 while the online price is staying $5 (which is actually about $6 after online fees). They're also offering 10 and 20 ticket group discounts for $50 and $90 respectively (I don't think there's any fees on those though).
    In my opinion, the best values are the season pass and jersey pass at $30 and $89 respectively. Apparently, those get you into any home game - USOC or playoffs included. That could make those passes a steal if CFC were to, you know, actually host one of those some day.

    The Georgia Revolution open their 2014 NPSL campaign against rival Chattanooga FC at the RYSA Soccerplex on Saturday, May 10th at 7:30pm.
    The last time these two teams met, Chattanooga pulled out a 1-0 victory in the Southeast Conference Championship to advance to the national semi finals. The 2 teams have played 4 times in their history. Each team has one win, one loss and two ties. Each team also has 6 goals for and 6 goals against.
    "This is always a tight fixture", says Georgia Revolution General Manager, Rafe Mauran. "Our fans can expect a fantastic match. Both teams expect to win every time they step on the field. 2 of the best teams in the league in the first game of the season. This is going to be awesome."
    Tickets for the match are $5. Saturday will be Youth Soccer Night.

    up and down, the weather has been sucky, our two sunny matches that have not been during Riverbend (big music festival that takes place downtown and kills our attendance every year) have been great we had a little over 4000 for one and the past weekend we had like 3100, though when weather has been sucky or during riverbend the attendance has been 1500-2200

    The last two matches have been over 3,000, but like he said, the large number of rainy games early on have hurt the average. If you count the 2 USOC matches, the average attendance has been right at 2,300.

    according to the Chattanooga FC website, they drew 2800 in attendance this past weekend and have apparently placed a bid with the NPSL in order to host one semi final this upcoming weekend. The Lansing United website indicates that they will play the NYRB U23s.

    So Chattanooga might be playing Sacramento Gold FC...stay tuned.

    Will the game be streamed? If Manolo Pina for Sac doesn't play(left the game vs Sonoma early), it could get ugly. With him their attack is deadly, but the D and keep are suspect.

    Do you have game-by-games, per chance? I'm missing 6/14 and 7/4.

    A long weekend came to a great close Saturday night for the Chattanooga Football Club, which rallied in the second half for a 3-2 victory over the Georgia Revolution at Finley Stadium.
    Three second-half goals in front of 1,410 fans improved Chattanooga FC's record to 5-2-1 overall and 4-1-1 in the National Premier Soccer League's Southeast Division -- good for first place.

    The fireworks that came after the Chattanooga Football Club men's match Friday evening resembled those that occurred within Finley Stadium for 90 minutes prior.
    Niall McCabe scored two goals, and the hosts clinched the top seed heading into next week's National Premier Soccer League Southeast Division playoffs with a 5-1 win over Rocket City United in front of a crowd of 3,057 on a holiday Friday evening.

    Chattanooga's electric utility, EPB, became an high speed internet & cable provider a few years ago. The club worked out a deal so that EPB subscribers can watch Chattanooga FC in the NPSL Final on cable instead of the Red Bulls livestream.

    I'm a Red Bull fan who was at the game tonight. Amazed by the fanbase this team has. I didn't know any NPSL had a significant following. Chattanooga deserves a pro team in USL Pro or NASL.

    There are actually a few NPSL teams that have significant support, but what Chattanooga has is really remarkable, isn't it?

    It's a big jump from NPSL to a professional league. Far more expensive, and an entirely different pool of players. Chattanooga surely has the ability to bring in revenue to support a professional team, but that's an entirely different business model. I wonder if their current owners are willing to take that approach.

    A move up to the USL Premier Development league might be a step between NPSL and USL pro but still has a short season and the increase in franchise fee would be a big turn off. Unless there is a rich investor coming in. They are fine where they are for now. Could put money aside for a stadium of their own in a downtown location before making a big jump up to USL PRO. (as is more than a decade away)

    Meh. Not sure that's even really a move "up."
