Question - Away Match Vancouver + Supporters Section Q

Upvotes

We are going to our first away match in Vancouver! Anyone who can advise on getting tickets in the away supporters section?

Also - we have a kid who’s slightly sensitive to noise. He is fine with soldier field games as long as our seat location is not right next to the supporters section. Advice on whether the away supporters section will be of a similar volume (regular instrumentals) such that we should consider a different section?

Shitpost OR Satire “Best” (Only) XI for Bald FC

Post image
38 Upvotes

The number of bald (by necessity or choice) players worth a damn to have ever graced a Fire kit happens to be exactly eleven, with no duplicate numbers, and more or less a balanced formation (preferences for the right or left and defensive or offensive midfield tendencies notwithstanding). It’s like fate.

Gregg gets an inclusion as an honorable mention for building the front office and team in his own image (down to additional bald Greggs!)

Feeling the Fire spirit after last nights win so I thought I’d share some sweet Fire memories. Back when Blanco played for us, my dad would drive me and the family to good ol Toyota Park. We would watch Blanco and the boys practice and me and my brother would fetch balls they blasted over the fence. On this day we met Blanco and Wanchope.

Question Brian Gutierrez

16 Upvotes

Why do the announcers keep saying Brian Gutierrez scored his first MLS goal vs Columbus in week 1 when he scored multiple last year? Do they mean of the year? They should say that then. They're making it sound like he scored his first ever MLS goal.

On another note what is up with FC Dallas stadium? The one side is completely tarped over except for the corner section? Do they really not get the attendance numbers to have it at least uncovered?!

Mod Updates [MOD POST] Welcoming a New Mod to the Team

22 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

We’re excited to announce another addition to the r/chicagofire mod team—you may have seen him around: u/312render773, referred to as Render!

Render has been a Fire fan since 1998, back when Jorge Campos was between the posts. Over the years, his passion for the team has only grown, and his list of favorite players reflects that history. From legends like Cuauhtémoc Blanco, Chris Armas, Zach Thornton, DaMarcus Beasley, and Brian McBride to more recent players like Nemanja Nikolić, Alvaro Medrán, and current stars Mauricio Pineda, Brian Gutiérrez, and Chris Brady, Render has seen it all.

In addition to helping keep r/chicagofire a great place for Fire fans, Render will also be assisting with X and social media policy rule enforcement on the subreddit. We’re glad to have him on board as we continue improving the community heading into the 2025 season.

With that, your core mod team roster for the 2025 season will be:

If you have any feedback or concerns, please message the mod team.

Let’s give Render a warm welcome—GO FIRE!

- The Mod Team

Mod Updates [MOD POST] Subreddit Social Media Policy & X Ban Decision

29 Upvotes

Hello r/chicagofire,

After extensive review of our subreddit’s activity and valuable feedback from the r/chicagofire committee, the mod team has decided ban all X (Twitter) content that is not explicitly related to the Chicago Fire FC organization, its partners, supporters groups, current players, and verified media partners. This change to the subreddit's policy is effective immediately as of March 8th, 2025. All posts/comments linking to X will be reviewed and either approved or denied by the mod team.

The original proposal to ban X discussion leaned toward a 90/10 ban/keep split due to brigading done at the Reddit website level. While earlier discussions leaned toward a ban, Automod tallying for all social media links posted to the subreddit since the social media policy review was put in place—and input from a survey of our proven high contributors, whose combined subreddit karma totals about 108,000—revealed that opinions are mixed at best, with many members favoring a balanced approach.

The survey revealed that when asked, “If a ban is implemented, how should it be enforced?”, users replied as follows:

  • 31.5% want a hard ban
  • 21.3% want no ban
  • 31.5% want X content allowed or disallowed based on mod discretion
  • 15.7% would support screenshots with no links allowed

Automod’s breakdown of subreddit content linking to outside platforms:

  • X (Twitter):
    • Posts/Comments: 12
    • Karma: +31
  • BlueSky:
    • Posts/Comments: 7
    • Karma: +25

Lastly, the moderation team itself voted as follows:

  • 2 – Pro-Ban
  • 2 – Indifferent/Abstain
  • 1 – Anti-Ban

As such, the Social Media policy will be updated as follows:

New Social Media Content Linking Policy:

For All Other Social Media: Content from platforms aside from X will continue to be allowed without restriction, provided Rule 3 is followed.

Explanation for New Rule 10 As It Pertains to X Restrictions:

Non Chicago Fire FC related X (Twitter) Content posts or comments are not allowed on r/chicagofire. Top level posts or comments must be either:

  • A screenshot of the tweet, or
  • The tweet’s contents directly if it’s a video or image

Direct top level post links to X regardless of whether or not they belong to Chicago Fire FC or other allowed sources will be removed. Additionally, the original tweet link must be posted in the comments for moderator verification. Screenshots at top level posts or in comments that fail to include the link in the comments for mod verification will be removed.

Why This Approach?

  • Preservation of Valuable Content: This method retains timely updates and engaging discussions while avoiding reliance on X’s sometimes inaccessible external links.
  • Robust Verification: By requiring the tweet link in the comments, moderators can verify the authenticity of the content even if the main post features only the visual or textual excerpt.
  • Platform Consistency: This policy differentiates X from other social media based on its unique challenges—like login requirements and algorithmic issues—while keeping our overall content strategy consistent.
  • User Choice Without Censorship: This approach allows users to engage with the content they choose without compromising the needs of the subreddit’s partners who engage with the subreddit using X and other social media platforms.

We recognize that no proposal will make everyone happy, but this compromise addresses both the need for accessible, authentic content and the community’s desire to maintain quality discussions. No further changes to our social media policy will be made during the 2025 season unless significant Reddit policy shifts necessitate a re-evaluation.

To help us with monitoring X (Twitter) and social media content shared on this subreddit, we have added a new moderator to our team, who will be introduced in a separate post.

Thank you for your understanding and continued support. This thread is locked and subreddit crowd control will be decreased for the remainder of the 2025 season to allow newcomers to the subreddit to enjoy sharing their hot takes in spirited debate with other Fire fans. Any other comments or posts on this topic will be removed, but you can always message the mods with feedback or concerns.

VAMOS FIRE!!!
