or the missouri valley conference. didn't they go by 'the valley' colloquially for a while? (are they even still a thing?) there are many valleys, and many girls, but valley girl means exactly one specific type of both.
Updated NISA Fall Season Attendance as of 9/27/21: 44 matches played Detroit City: 6,076/4,664/3,894/3,969/3,689 Chattanooga FC: 2,916/2,008/2,158/1,946/1,960 Michigan Stars: 1,628/1,857/0*/0* Chicago House: 1,183/1,013/863 California United: 653/525/0*/685/1,738/0* New Amsterdam: 278/333/404/319 Maryland Bobcats: 305/362/292/312 1904 FC: 237/182/393/342 Stumptown: 167/189/164/245/399 Los Angeles Force: 0/0/175/0 Bolded numbers represents highest attended home match for each individual team. Novelty is starting to wear off for Chicago, down to triple digit attendance in a 20,000 seater soccer stadium. Stumptown had the highest attended match this past week...just one person shy of well, 400 people. Rehash from last week's attendance report, I chose not to provide the total and average attendance because there were some matches without a reported attendance number, those without attendance numbers reported are marked with an asterisk. Los Angeles Force still doesn't have a permanent place to play but y'all should know that by now.
Wow, these are like Scottish League Two attendances except those teams don't have to fly to the other side of the continent to play fixtures.
Meanwhile in NISA Nation Final. #NNFall21 pic.twitter.com/Zg5v9PRiBn— NISA Nation (@TheNISANation) September 26, 2021 Given that Bearfight beat NJ Alliance FC’s next opponent 2-1, the transitive says AC Atlantic City will lose 32-0.
Let's just put this out there and get passed it. We got our asses handed to us. We are not happy about it. We can react negatively, or we can move forward, work harder, and make sure this never happens again. The second option is the path we choose. On to the next week.— Bearfight FC (@BearfightFC) September 27, 2021
NISA PR people said that this league is supposed to be an incubator for aspiring beer league teams to turn professional, basically a division below NISA. Yeah, I'm sure investors are already lining up to invest in "Bearfight"...
Crikey, just watched parts of this on Eleven Sports, it’s like a car wreck. NJ was still pressing the play out of the back even when they were up 13, which seems pretty buttholeish. Guess they really don’t want to lose any tiebreakers on goal differential.
The point is that they’re not fishing for an investor to go pro, they’re trying to establish a senior team for a youth club. Teams are in NISA Nation for various reasons, only some are intended to be showcasing themselves for investment. Others (like Bearfight), are trying to figure out the logistics of what would be necessary run a pro team, but the idea for all of them is that “failure” or mistakes made while getting themselves together isn’t necessarily going to run them out of business.
Protagonist interviewed the remaining original Bearfight person: https://open.spotify.com/episode/1lNB1pAyYKdKFaXNj6Ibc0?si=6TqY2PAnTeipfbA1HB-Xwg&dl_branch=1 they talked about the origin of the organization (a group within the Son of Ben); of the name (said group’s signature post match drink, which is a carbomb followed by a Jaegerbomb) and the origin of the club (a public boast made in a Wilmington bar after too many Bearfights).

New Amsterdam's owner couldn't ask his wife (who again, owns Chicago House AC/DC) to loan one of its players? Meanwhile in NISA, that GK in 🟠 is New Amsterdam owner Laurence Girard!The fun rumor is that he fired Jermaine Jones because JJ didn't want to play him. Either way, it's been an amazing month of team owners in tight uniforms! https://t.co/YKzAwzoZZK pic.twitter.com/hD2sYuVmt0— Brian Straus (@BrianStraus) September 30, 2021
That is a really good article. Hopefully it stirs something up in NISA HQ. I guess I hadn’t realized that Michael Hitchcock was involved with NAFC.
It seems like NISA exists as a place for Detroit City and Chattanooga to play and that's it. Meanwhile the Chattanooga Red Wolves are sitting on top of League One and their attendances are improving, with over two thousand at their last home match.
Yeah, but you should provide the more accurate BuTtS In SeAtS instead of tickets distributed, Paul! -Expansion Franchise, probably.
They can make up whatever numbers they want, but people are not going to their games. I’m not sure what point you’re trying to make. I don’t know why anyone bothers to take USL attendances at face value or draw anything from it. CRW’s last game had perfect weather, was on a Saturday, and there was no CFC, Lookouts, or Mocs game but if you think anything close to 2,000 people bothered to show up, I don’t know what to tell you: But that’s the problem with tickets distributed, they can literally pull a number out their ass to try to push a narrative that support is improving when it really just isn’t.
