The Chivas fans in the stands: How much MLS exposure did they have before Saturday?

It is a mixed crowd.. Myself, while not new to the league, this is the first time i will follow a season of MLS. I was present at the first Galacto game back in 96 and their first intl friendly against Necaxa, but that "atmosphere" i am used to was not there and the long ride to Pasadena didnt make it any more attractive. My guess is that the majority of the crowd is indeed new to the league. I am sure many fans wont return at least not for a while but i am thinking we can have a decent 10-12k attendance untill the team starts playing better. A match at the HDC is just too expensive to go watch a team play like crap.

BTW i walked around parking lot 3 which i was told was the D lot where the DC U fans were supposed to congegrate but i didnt see anyone. I was there around 11 o' clock.. Well maybe next time.. Oy and Chiva town was craptacular, except for the walk through memory lane, which displayed CD Guad history, almost brought a tear to my eye.. .

 

I'm not new to MLS but this will be the first time I actually follow a team loyally in MLS. I had no attachment or favor for a team before in MLS.

 

Hey Knave!
Me and my Family were season ticket holders for the LA Galaxy since 1996. At the time the Galaxy was good enough.
However, My Family has been Chivas Fans as far back as I can remember... My Grandfather, My Father, Me and now my family. We have had Family reunions at Estadio Jalisco in Guadalajara during Chivas games.
When the word went out that Chivas USA could be a reality... the one with the hardest decision to leave the Galaxy was me, but Even my wife who is 100% USA was excited and couldn't wait for Chivas to start playing, because before there was soccer here in the US, she had experience that Chivas factor, the atmosphere of being in a Chivas game. Just like you stated, it is not just within the supporters club, it has no boundaries it will take over the stadium.
That is what Chivas will bring to the US, Passion for the game and its something that I would love to see every team in the MLS adopt.

BTW... you can let the rest of the DC fans in the DC board know... that the legion 1908 was not calling Rick "*P*U*T*A*" everytime he kicked the ball. ~.o

 

You are right, it wasn't "*P*U*T*A*" it was "*P*U*T*O*" and it will be a common occurance for all opposing keepers.

 

nothing wrong with that, we yell worse stuff

Legion 1908 was very impressive for US circumstances. Lets see if you can keep it up
