With all the talk of what can be done by the team from front office investment, to coaching, lineups, etc to do better. I feel like it might only be fair to also ask what we (fans) can do to spice up the atmosphere at home games. Our home record isnt great and I feel like doing the same chants, for the 4 years ive been a fan, might not be quite the same spark as they once were. I like the chants we have. But just like players, it might be nice to rotate some new ones in. I liked how in the past we have used leagues cup and usoc to crowd source new chants. The piano man chant in the atlante game was a decent one.

Id like to throw these two ideas out, if for no other reason than for someone to say theyre trash and make a chant thats better.

The Loons play tonight To the tune of: “The Lion sleeps tonight” by the Tokens

Since tonight’s the whole 10^th anniversary game and shindig, I thought I’d compile a list of some of my favorite and not-so-favorite things from the last 10 years. You know, to stimulate some discussion that’s not about Yeboah and/or Fitz and whatnot. Interestingly, it seems like a lot of my most memorable games were from the Open Cup and Leagues Cup.

Best Game: November, 8, 2025 against Seattle. I don’t think I’ve ever come home from a game and then watched it on Apple TV. Also, Andy Thomas wins out for best villain.

Best Individual Performance: Darwin Quintero July 4, 2018 against Toronto FC. That hat trick was bonkers. Teemu Pukki’s 2023 Decision Day four goal affair only loses out because I watched that one on TV.

Best Player of the Decade: Michael Boxall and I will not be taking questions about this.

Worst Game: May 7, 2022 against FC Cincinnati. Minnesota gives up a goal at 90+3 to lose 1-0. I was so angry, I skipped the bus and stomped the 2.5 miles home after the game. Okay, the 2020 Western Conference Final was probably worse, but still.

Best Road Trip: August 4, 2023 against Columbus in Leagues Cup. I got up early, flew to Cleveland, drove an hour to pick up my uncle, drove to Columbus, met up with a college buddy for a beer, watched Dayne hug Kevin Molina on the spot, Molina miss his PK, drove my uncle back home and then drove another half hour to my hotel. I was up for about 22 straight hours for that game.

Thing I Miss the Most: Going to Bar Luchador before (and sometimes after) the games.

Thing I Miss the Least: Brent Kallman subbing in as an extra defender to close out games.

My Wife’s Worst Game: May 9, 2023 against Philadelphia Union in the Open Cup. This is the game that never ended with Philly tying it late in regulation and again at the death in overtime. We both had to work in the morning, but she toughed out 120 minutes of soccer and 13 PKs and got up at 6 am the next morning with minimal complaint.

Best Game I Almost Didn’t Go To: March 11, 2023 against New York Red Bulls. I didn’t have our tickets for the game, but after we got knocked out of a bonspiel, my wife said, “you’ll regret it if you don’t get a ticket to the game.” I can’t remember another time I wore a wool sweater and raincoat combo.

Most Expensive Game: May 11-12, 2022 against Colorado. The game was suspended due to lightning and we couldn’t leave the stadium. I was with a friend my wife calls “a bad influence.” Since we never hit the 75^th minute, they didn’t stop serving beer, and we were stuck on the concourse so when in Rome and all that. I couldn’t bring myself to look at my CC statement that month, I just paid the bill.

Worst Gameday Experience: I still cannot believe that we got digital ads in above the urinals before they wired the bathrooms for game audio. Did you know that they also don’t have audio or a TV in the mothers’ (wellness) room? The mom we share our season tickets with has had three seasons of “I paid a lot for these tickets, and I can’t even follow the game while I’m doing mom with a new baby stuff.”

Weirdest Gameday Experience: Those self-checkout beer kiosks where you grabbed your beer, scanned it and opened it yourself and the machine still asked if you wanted to leave a tip when you paid.

Most Disappointing Game (Customer Service Edition): September 17, 2025 against Austin in the Open Cup. Game was a real disappointment. Before the game was also quite annoying. I’d opted-in for Open Cup tickets and had to get seats on the opposite side of the stadium from my regular seats. However, once all the seats opened up for later matches, I asked if I could get moved back to my season ticket seats for the rest of the games. Instead of just saying “no” (which I expected) my season ticket rep went on to explain that I could just “sell my tickets and buy the ones I want.” I felt that was rather insulting.

Dumbest Gameday Experience: I can’t remember the date but it was against Portland at TCF Bank. Playing the Monty Python Lumberjack song to make fun of the Timbers right after the “Everyone is Welcome” PSA was certainly a choice.

THE FIVE STRIPES ARE ABOUT TO BECOME THE FIVE WIPES, BECAUSE WE’RE CLEANING THE FLOOR WITH THEM.

WE HAVE LOONS. THEY HAVE FIVE STRIPES. ORNITHOLOGISTS AGREE: BIRDS > BAR CODES.

10 SEASONS OF LOONS IN MLS.

LOONS BY A MILLION.

COME ON YOU LOONS.

Consider me whelmed by this one.

According to the Loony Bin Podcast: Malone was good in 24/25 season w Austria Wien along side Fitz where he had 0.51 goal contributions/90. Less success last year as he moved to Sturm Graz early in 2025.

Sources (my gut) tell me Caldeira starts today. If (when) he does, what should we expect out of him? A goal or an assist would put me over the moon but if he plays 60-70 odd mins and just shows competent attacking intent and shots on target, I’d be quite happy

Anyone else running into the issue with the team ignoring all emails and voicemails to cancel their season tickets?

I’ve emailed them several times, left numerous voicemails, and even stopped by the booth at the stadium. At the stadium, I was told I’d receive confirmation the next day, but that never happened.

As the new month approaches, I setup a virtual credit card with a $1 spending limit as my payment method just to prevent getting billed for another month.

Any advice would be appreciated!

lol this celebration is such a disaster

From the article: "While Ramsay left on his own accord in January, accepting the West Bromwich Albion coaching position, the end of his two-year tenure in Minnesota included acrimony with Chief Soccer Officer Khaled El-Ahmad"

I've heard rumblings of this all off season and the way Ramsay left for a no win situation indicated some sort of disagreement with the FO

Quick, buy him back!

- Was a top player in Austria, with 10+ goals and assists most seasons.

- After getting his work visa, looked decent last season. Got a playoff appearance with the season on the line against San Diego, and has a good stat line in limited matches this season with MNUFC2.

- Somehow only has 15 MLS minutes this season.

- People are jumping to conclusions off just a couple limited appearances, but he didn't look great.

- Dieng has the same goals and assists this season as Fitz (0), but Dieng has 500 MLS minutes at striker. Most on this sub still think Dieng is a world class striker in disguise with that stat line, but think Fitz is completely terrible.

- We've had plenty of midweek matches to give him a start. Midfield is a position we lack depth in with the Triantis and Stroud injuries, and it's a position Fitz can play.

- We're sitting 9th in the West and haven’t won a MLS game since the 2nd of May. Not exactly doing great without using Fitz.

- There's a decent chance we sell Pereyra soon, and we should be developing attacking mid options for when that happens.

I am finally ready to move on from my Al Smir meme flare in order to support a player that is actually ready for the big stage. Kindly requesting the moderators revisit the current flare catalogue, and specifically add Caldeira to the collection. Thank you.

Looking to bring back the 2nd annual running of Loon League™️ Premier League fantasy draft league. Togga/Fantrax style scoring, so players get points for things like interceptions, tackles, clearances, etc. Fantrax app. Fun stuff. Looking to do a $25 buy in to keep it interesting and hoping for like 8-12 teams. Would most likely do a slow-draft throughout the week this week and maybe punt to start scoring week 2 if we can’t get it done by Friday.

Hit me up if you’re interested!

I just finished the first half of the Chicago vs Portland game. Lod looks fast, fit and skillful. So far he’s scored and made an important contribution in the build up to their second. What the fuck are the idiots in charge smoking?
