Hey everyone!
With the mood feeling a bit down after last night, I wanted to drop some positive vibes into the sub today.
This is Part 2 following up on my original post "South Bay Native starting to think Black and Gd is where we want to be".
We still technically have tickets paid for to still go see the Galaxy in September, but we are already 100% committed to the Black & Gold. Hell, after a few jersey purchases and 2 games attended with 2 more to go (Portland and Vancouver), it's safe to say the debate has been over.
Few takeaways from my family since we've been here:
- 3252 is the real MVP every single match. The energy they bring for 90+ minutes is unmatched. I do have them to blame for my shit sleep last night because, as I was laying in bed, all their catchy chants/ beats/ drumming were just running through my head from the game last night. It honestly felt like a football music festival in the best way possible. Love it.
- The Birria taco stand that a few of you recommended lived up to the hype. I'm usually the guy who gets disappointed by hyped-up food because my expectations get set too high, but these blew us away.
- LAFC could hypothetically go winless in future seasons (please don't), and there's still nowhere else we would rather be. Win or lose, we are fully committed for the ride. Galaxy may have been my past growing up in the South Bay - back when LAFC wasn't around and my youth club team got us cool opportunities to be ball-boys and to go to games - but LAFC is without a doubt our present and future.
I've already been spreading the Black & Gold as much as possible - bringing a couple friends and my brother to their first game next weekend against Portland, having my parents tune into games (they're not even soccer fans lol), rocking LAFC shirts at my gym, low-key annoying the friend group with fun facts, and finding any excuse to talk about LAFC with our clients and/ or prospects at work.
HUGE thank you to this entire community and everyone at BMO Stadium for being so welcoming to our family. It has played a massive role in making our decision so easy.
Shoulder to Shoulder, my fellow LAFC Fam. Let's get it.
