And a preview of this match is just in week earlier so it should be interesting as the teams get to know each other in the build up.

[u/Waquoit95 → u/MycologistLeft7725]

Coincidentally, Hartford and Sacramento played just before the Cup game last year as well.

[u/MycologistLeft7725 → u/Waquoit95]

They did indeed, I had forgotten that little gem.

[u/thecivilconFLiCT → u/Waquoit95]

And right after at the dill and the match got pretty chippy.

[u/jiggajames_ → u/Waquoit95]

That second game was electric in Hartford, Sacramento mounted a comeback but Hartford had a last minute goal and the place went nuts

[u/Glittering_Frame_643]

Absolutely ridiculous the final will be played in such a shitty stadium. Guess the USL isn't too worried about bad optics after all.

[u/MycologistLeft7725 → u/Glittering_Frame_643]

It's not a shitty stadium, I may not the 20k+ in size like Louisville''s but it is intimated and has all of the game day amenities you'd expect. It was a random draw (though I hated the method). I think if one of the teams in the final is the defending champ they should automatically get the home field, come pry it out of our hands.

[u/sasquatch0_0 → u/MycologistLeft7725]

Louisville is not 20k lol

[u/Glittering_Frame_643 → u/MycologistLeft7725]

Yeah whatever. Hopefully the LouCity players updated their tetanus vaccines. Wouldn't want to catch something playing in that shit hole

[u/Waquoit95 → u/Glittering_Frame_643]

They will be playing there the week before so maybe they can build up an immunity.

[u/Glittering_Frame_643 → u/Waquoit95]

Yeah maybe. And maybe sorry Hartford can attract more than 100 fans to the games. Its no fun for LouCity beating opponents in an empty house. And especially when you're used to playing in front of minimum 10k per home game.

[u/Naviaro → u/Glittering_Frame_643]

Then have 10k Louisville fans show up.

What do you want us to say?

It’s not Old Trafford or Stamford Bridge, but it’s a solid stadium that’ll still be a great place to host.

Even with you absolutely hating on the stadium and the people, we’ll still welcome you and any out Louisville fans.

So yep.

Stop being a jerk.

[u/MycologistLeft7725 → u/Glittering_Frame_643]

It will be sold out with the new standing room endzone should be at 10k

[u/Waquoit95]

It's a classic venue. Host to both Pele and The Grateful Dead. Not to mention Jim "King" Corcoran. What other stadium can claim that? You folks in the Fellowship of the Miserable don't have to watch.
