Thankful for this piece, John! Taking the glass half full approach at this time seems right; it gets our minds off the negativity. Thanks especially for highlighting the fact that Dejuan's/Teal's effort continues!

Strategically, we still need to move off the Carles Gil one trick pony approach at some point. He needs a solid mate in the middle.

Regarding the stadium, I sure hope they make some design tweaks sooner than later, otherwise we're looking at hours of logistics on both sides of a match. You would think they would add a couple more parking garages nearby? (Not too familiar with that area, being from out west near Worcester). Lots of drop-offs/pick-ups happening (likely from several blocks out, which is not ideal in poor weather), lots of illegal parking...not good.

Hey, when we finally do get another trophy, it'll be even sweeter following this trainwreck of a campaign. Happy Thanksgiving!

Lots of things to be thankful for. But, I keep thinking about the stadium dilemma. You want to grow the fan base, but you build a stadium with 1/3 the number of seats currently available with limited parking. Hmmm.

The only thing the fans are not thankful for is how the 2023 season went and the fans were left hanging on saga with Bruce Arena. Caleb Porter hired and with Curt Awful took a playoff team the year before and turned it into a dumpster fire and they still have jobs.

A lot of fans may not be happy with the new stadium with the location and the trek to get to stadium and cost to go to the games. Higher tickets prices, public transportation and parking with next to nothing for parking at stadium.
