We have added two scrimmages to the preseason schedule!📆 3.31🆚 @FCTucson at 2:00PM MT🆚 @LAGalaxyII at 3:00PM MT— Colorado Rapids (@ColoradoRapids) March 24, 2021
MLS 2021 Season schedule is out but I only see a horrible format when I select Rapids. Hopefully someone will find a more useable one. I remember someone wanting to know about game in Austin- that is July 31st. Edit: heres a better one https://www.coloradorapids.com/schedule
LOL at the league still being butt hurt the fans stood their ground on the Rocky Mountain Cup trademark. Their article about the schedule hypes Rivalry Week from Aug 2Oth-29th and lists 10 rivalry games being played that week, but leaves out the RMC match on Aug 21st. (And they don't name any of the games by their competition name, so they weren't just avoiding using the RMC trademark)
No home matches in June and only two total matches that month. "Fixture congestion" in July and August as well as October. I assume the Rocky Mountain Cup committee will determine which two of the three matches will count? Only three out of conference matches, Cincinnati, Toronto and New England.
Here's the meat of the email to season ticket holders this afternoon: On behalf of the entire Colorado Rapids organization, we are thankful for the incredible patience and loyalty our Season Ticket Members have shown during such a challenging time. We continue to work with the MLS League Office and the Colorado Department of Public Health & Environment (CDPHE) to ensure a safe return for fans at the right and most responsible time.

As a valued Season Ticket Member, you will receive priority access to purchase tickets for the 2021 season when they become available. When purchasing tickets you will have the option to use any existing account credit you have on file from the 2020 season.
No, last year was a one time thing with all the question marks about when games would be played and the possibility they would get cancelled. This year we'll go back to normal where all games count. (Due to the final game being cancelled last year, the only time the teams have ever played in-season and it hasn't counted for the RMC was the MLS Is Back tournament game)
Vines and Lewis not starting tonight. A rotated squad for #USYNT as they look to prioritize the semifinal on the weekend. #CMOQ https://t.co/QMgOczjIqW— Matt Pollard (@LWOSMattPollard) March 25, 2021
Probably resting for the Semifinals. Lewis may come on as a sub if necessary, but I imagine Kreiss wants them fully rested and starting in the semis on Sunday
Acosta starting! 👀 @KellynAcosta https://t.co/hrnGjJD9I4— Colorado Rapids (@ColoradoRapids) March 25, 2021
15min in and Acosta looks like one of the sharper players on the field so far. His movement is lively, he's been strong on the ball, and his passing is crisp. He also seems to be urging his teammates on to his level of intensity in the match
Agree and he kept this up for most of the 90 minutes. He was great in support of the attack often providing an option for a pass and looking to spring a teammate. No real mistakes I can think of in the attack. He looks like he fits well with the 'A' team, at leat in this match.
Agreed! He did a great job, and I am hoping he keeps this form up when he rejoins the Rapids and the season gets started. He looked really good.
New away kit....all I will say is green shorts! https://www.coloradorapids.com/class-5-kit 𝐼𝓃𝓉𝓇𝑜𝒹𝓊𝒸𝒾𝓃𝑔 the Class 5 kit. pic.twitter.com/lXjp4R2B7r— Colorado Rapids (@ColoradoRapids) March 26, 2021 🏔 Mt.

Not a huge fan of the color but the topo map is a cool idea. And...there's no stock of medium authentics. Impulse buy thwarted!
I wish the kit were darker green but hey..... overall that’s a slight complaint. I really like the kit. It might be the first one I’ve bought since the blue Colorado flag kit.
Not calling it the "Class 6" kit is a fail. Looks fine though, especially with the green shorts. The topo/14er stuff does make it apparent they did put some effort into it, so they deserve a nod for that.
I'm sure this has been covered in past threads/posts, but is there any App that won't block Rapids games locally? Comcast is my only option for cable/internet, (can't get satellite or other cable/internet provider). Thanks in advance.
Yeah you can tell that WAAAY more effort was put into it than the "Black Diamond" kit... That being said, I do wish the topo lines were darker....can be pretty hard to see at times and it can look like a plain white shirt with green trim depending on the angle/lighting
The consensus has been to use an ESPN+ subscription and change your location to somewhere outside the Denver market while running a VPN. In Minecraft.
Thanks. So it is easier to watch the English 2nd division than to watch my local professional team...makes perfect sense
