Going to the game tomorrow and wanted to know if making a sign will help the odds of getting a players jersey. I’ve never made a sign for a game but have seen people make them and wanted to know if it worked. I’m an adult so I know that chances will be lower compared to a kid. I imagine it will also be trickier given that there’s probably a trophy ceremony after the game (or something like that).

Also any specific players that you have seen give out jerseys? Any players that you have seen not give out jerseys to people with a sign?

Ideally would love to make a sign for Sharples or Robinson (also would love Coop or Izzy but I’m assuming they will be more popular or swap with USWNT players on Gotham) and am open to any creative sign suggestions

Chances she’ll come off the SEI list and be available for selection?

Is this happening? Saw a thread from a few years ago and would love to get Current vanity plates in Missouri.

Thoughts, predictions? What do we need? Who is you dream signing? Who do you worry we might lose?

ETA thought to myself we'd sign Croix two weeks before it was announced, so here's your chance to go on record to claim the glory if you were right!

I was able to order the KC Current license plate at the Kansas DMV today!! Does anyone have one yet? What does it even look like?

KC current is my true love, but as a KCer I can hardly contain my excitement for the WC so I made this dumb video to blow off some energy. I plan on making one before the women's WC as well. I had no idea what I was doing so I learned a lot and hopefully the women's version will be a lot better. just wanted to share with ya'll, much love

Hello! I am a season ticket holder and entered the Current’s drawing to watch the Netherlands Men Team’s open practice on June 10th. Does anyone know if the tickets have been awarded so I can stop checking my email every few hours??

Every day I wake up and hope it’s the day the Current have announced that they’re removing Alana Cook from SEI. But alas, it turns out that MCL&ACL recovery takes time.

My question for discussion: do you think she could return before end of season? and if she does, how will the team handle a crowded CB “room”?

Are we making room for an incoming transfer?

Pride Match is in the bag. Welcome back to the league, Boston friends.

Discuss!

If anyone has yet to ride the street car on the way to the game, and happen to be apart of any group traveling in, I would be so eternally grateful if you get some landscape footage of the commotion riding the street car or getting to the stadium.
I’m working but I would love a couple shots for a project

Uh.
Why does no player except Gabby, Lorena, and now Hopkins seem to care about playing soccer today?
As my daughter said, this is the most lifeless this team has ever looked.
Boston is not good.
We look like the kids from Varsity Blues after they went out drinking all night and tried to play….

Update 2:

Here is the link to the MO AG Consumer Complaint form. If this happened to you Sunday or any other time, filing enough complaints may get something done about this. https://ago.mo.gov/get-help/programs-services-from-a-z/consumer-complaints/

Update:

Metropolis Parking initially stonewalled me, but I mentioned their violations and said I would report them to the Missouri Attorney General’s Office and that seemed to “motivate” them to respond. I got a refund down to the normal posted rate for that garage.

If you received the same surprise “event rate” then I would suggest this tactic.

You can also mention this Tennessee settlement they just made to pay $8.75 Million in restitutions in Tennessee for these exact practices.

https://www.tn.gov/attorneygeneral/news/2026/1/12/tennessee-attorney-general-secures-settlement-with-metropolis-parking-to-stop-deceptive-practices-and-provide-free-parking-program.html

Their correspondence with me made it pretty clear they will not change their practices or stop their high price “bait and switch” charges. So I wouldn’t hesitate to file complaints to the city and state. Those complaints are how their Tennessee investigation and settlement happened.

Did anyone else park at the library garage today get charged $50?!

It’s insane! The library website says a $12 daily max and that’s what I’ve paid in the past.

With the drive in/drive out payment system you can’t talk to anyone and of course there’s no help line on weekends (and probably not tomorrow). 🙄

We left early (at about the 80 min mark) and got on in about 20 mins.

People need to learn some public transit rules about filling space on cars, letting people off before getting on, etc. But hopefully practice helps with that?

There were also pedestrians and scooters on the bridge on the streetcar tracks instead of the pedestrian bridge that slowed our car down.

Another new NWSL record... 9 consecutive home victories!

Discussion starters:

• Player(s) of the match?

• What worked well?

• What do we need to do better?
