    You know Adebajo isn't happening and United signed Christian Benteke, right?

    So, I am trying to reach my ticket rep. So I call the main ticketing number at 3pm two days before a match and get voice message: "DC United ticketing is unavailable. Please leave a message." The only other organization I can think of that would close its sales dept in the middle of the day just before a game without having ANYONE to live answer the phone is run by Michael Scott.....

    I can get a hold of mine quite easily. The App works fine on the iPhone. But when I try to access upgraded tickets, I don't see any. Then I call my ticket rep and he texts them to me. No problem.

    My rep is also usually quite responsive - and in fact I was able to talk with him and was able to quickly take care of me. But AM functionality, whether on the phone or desktop, continues to be very frustrating.

    Word to the wise - if you see a very good price for a ticket be sure to get a screenshot of it. The price I ended up paying was significantly more than what was displayed (completely separate issue from adding in the convenience fees!). This was almost more like an error airfare - only they didn't honor it. Oh well. Gotta use up the credits somehow....

    The guy wanting to be my ticket rep again, offered me free tickets, then played dumb. When I quoted him he ignored me. Gee wonder why I still don't have tickets two years later????? :rolleyes:

    And I thought the reason was that Birmbaum refused to go to Rochester for the US Open Cup match and when Losada told he was going and was going to play he complained to the FO. Losada has lost control of the locker room. Oh and that they only had two wins at that point.

    Huh and here I thought it was unacceptable workplace behavior and borderline human rights violations.

    Because as we've seen, poor results are really not a reason the FO would act on anything.

    No. It appears he has mentally checked out already, and United appears ready to move on.

    Not with DC, but how about with another team? Assumes of course, he gets his butt back in gear and starts working out again....

    I have to wonder if the previous coach broke Hamid.

    Or maybe he just deserved a little break.

    Hopefully he lands on his feet wherever he goes, he's been a great club ambassador.

    Hamid absolutely deserves to be in the Ring of Tradition (or whatever they're calling it these days.)

    "The worst new stadium, by far, in all of Major League Soccer...and beyond that, THE worst in-stadium experience and atmosphere that you can possibly find in MLS."

    On ESPN, Sebastian Salazer points the finger at Levien:

    That's positively stupid.

    The worst stadium? Please. Audi Field isn't even in the conversation. Chicago says hello. Charlotte chuckles nervously. New England looks away in embarrassment.

    Sure, the atmosphere is shit. That's what happens when you're the league's punchline for 16 years. The architects can't do anything about that. The stadium would be fine if the team could manage to not suck for a few games in a row.

    I don’t know, I went to the 6-0 Philly drubbing and the only thing I didn’t really enjoy was the on field display. The fans weren’t raucous, but loud in the rare moments there was any inkling of something to cheer for. It was also perfect weather, so that helps.

    He corrected himself and said "new" stadiums: "If you want to find some old dump and compare it, that's fine."

    Audi field is kinda shit so he's definitely right. The only good thing is that it's not called Poop Shitty Fart Coin NFT Field or whatever the ******** sponsor is giving us ButtCoins

    I haven’t been to any other new MLS stadiums, but on looks alone our stadium sucks. And it also leaks. So there’s that.
