Got a call from Austin FC to remind me about my time slot and wishing me luck that there are seats still available.

 

I’m guessing there won’t be.

    Right after the game I had to go take a piss so I didn't burst once we got on the train.  Walking against the grain of the crowd coming towards me and I notice Claudio Reyna, in a suit, a phone to his

    That. Was fucking. NUTS. Wildly frustrated that we couldn’t put more than one in with a man advantage, but my frustration didn’t appear to help them. My wife had a conflict, so I took one of my olde

Got this emailed to me today. Coming along nicely....really wont be a bad seat in the place. Almost doesn't look like they can squeeze 22K seats in this place

 

See you fellas in Section 118!

The wife is doing work with Austin FC (helping them out on a couple of projects)....that means some priority.   So, four seats on the west side procured.  We could have had front row....but no view there, bumped up a few rows for a view.

I'm pumped.  Seriously.  Now...if we can get shit straight so we can have a season with fans in the seats next year.....that would be nice.

Congrats, man. Can't wait to be a season ticket holder come next week.

 

What type of work is your wife in?

First game garb acquired.  By early 2021 it will be well broken in....

I'm thinking of selling half my seasons tickets to pay for the purchase. Any guesses what the demand will be like for single game tickets in the 1st year?

From their website?

Yep. Can also pick up for carryout or patio consumption, at least until TABC changes its mind again.

Was able to grab 4 west side tickets. As an FYI, my window opened up 10 minutes before the scheduled time.

What section?

F5, F5, F5 . . . with luck, I'll be able to give an update in 20 minutes.

Opened around 8:45.  Ended up with four tickets in 230, three rows up.

Welcome to the family!

If anyone's driving on 183 going northbound be on the lookout for some impressive stadium views when you're somewhere near Lamar Blvd. to about Ohlen Rd. or so.

Earlier today I saw it from there, and it looks huge!

Finally getting my tickets on August 5th. 

In the supportera section already but considering seated as well. Still waiting for my number though on that end.

Leslie Pool's opponent in November is having an online launch party tonight if anyone is in her district and wants to get to know the candidate.

Thanks for the heads-up. I live in district 7 and will definitely be tuning in.

One small thing Prop A in the November election will do is fund the Red Line station at Austin FC in addition to the necessary double tracking for the area. You can learn more and learn how to help get Prop A passed here:

Good to see the club and both of the supporters groups on the website as day one supporters.

Hey, y'all heard anything re: whether or not they have plans for using the stadium as an outdoor concert venue, or if there are any LN/C3 partnerships in the works?

That’s the main reason COTA was against it.

Yeah, absolutely, I knew they were against the very concept of an outdoor stadium that could be used for big music acts. I was just wondering what the club itself has said in regard to music acts.

Things are about to get pretty ugly for the Germania Amp. 

What I'm seeing is 3 brand new badass venues - 1 smaller outdoor downtown venue w/LN & C3, 1 large indoor downtown venue w/LN & C3, and 1 large outdoor venue close to downtown & rail, with 20K actual covered seats and likely capacity for more unseated attendance. And then there are roughly 6500 actual seats at Germania, way out in BFElroy. I'm not saying COTA won't be able to get a concert at all, but it's gonna be 3rd or 4th in line at best imho.

But those aren't the only things going against COTA. They've gone a whole racing season with almost no racing revenue, no MERP revenue for 2020 events, no Rolling Stones on Memorial Day, no Willie's Picnic on the 4th, and a whole summer with no soccer or concert revenue. Meanwhile, the bills are still coming in, and I've heard that the F1 & MotoGP races in the Americas are already in doubt for 2021, along with Australia....

Not good.

Anyway, sorry for the o/t. Just curious what Austin FC has said they are considering or have planned in terms of using the stadium for music.

It being an outdoor music venue was part of the proposal to the city. They don’t seem like they’d back out of that idea. However, who knows how often it would need to be used as one with the new arena coming online and the MLS season being held during what is traditionally concert season.

I toured the stadium this morning and they are definitely set up for concerts. The gap on the south end in the Precourt tweet is for bleachers that can be pushed in for a concert stage setup. There’s also rigging installed above the supporters section to support speakers/lighting/etc.

We also interviewer Weston Appelfeller, head groundskeeper last week on the podcast, and he talked about the challenges that concerts and other events present to field management.

Does that groundskeeper dude need any help? His name sounds familiar. Where was he before?

Just a reminder that Prop A would fund a new train station at the stadium along with increased double tracking.

We tried that for a while but moved on to Los Verdes. 

With the new sponsorship deal, look for the Michelob Ultra Ultras.
