Look, I'm asking you now—about the cheering during that game a couple of years back. We had filled up 95% of the South Stand (I was watching, looking around, and honestly, I know literally every single person in those seats; the South Stand was packed with people who show up to Kansas City Chiefs games "regularly," whether it's home or away, even though sometimes the South Stand used to be the opposite where there'd be 2,000 seats but I'd only know 500 people), so why did we totally suck at cheering during that match?🤷
Maybe, Moses, we sucked because it was "too cold"—there was this freezing wind blowing and we were literally turning into ice cubes. Maybe it’s because the main guys weren't there that day. Or maybe it's because the score wasn't going our way. Or maybe it's because when the South Stand is full, you need at least three guys leading the chants (because one guy is just pathetic in my opinion since you don't have a mic and nobody can hear you when the wind is howling). Anyway, I'm talking about how the atmosphere wasn't anything like it was at this last game, so go ahead, tell me why.🤷
And the worst part of all, after all that mocking of the fat guys, once the game actually ends, we start cheering so loud it gives you a headache. Once the cameras cut out and the game is over, we're absolutely roaring, literally killing it with the decibels. Come on, answer me, why?🤷

Half of them just don't have the will to cheer, and I'm not gonna get into why. As for this current game, four different guys were trying to lead the chants, everyone singing their own damn song, and they really think that makes for good cheering??

So, if you want a legendary atmosphere, you need a few things to line up. You need a rival you absolutely loathe from the bottom of your soul (like the LA Lakers😍), an opponent where their NFL Ultras show up too, so you can basically tell them, "Hey, don't even bother trying at the Rose Bowl because we run this place." And then there's that matchup where you're fighting to break into a bigger league (like playing against a powerhouse like the Dallas Mavericks). That last kind of game—it gets everyone fired up, from the nosebleeds to the front row. Honestly, I think the wildest energy ever was during that game against the Dallas Mavericks, mostly because everything clicked perfectly, plus we were scoring goals left and right, which sends the adrenaline through the roof. Throw in the fact that it was during that massive storm on August 5th, where the entire stadium was literally soaked... that's when you hit peak atmosphere.
And yeah, about that guy with the guitar—sure, he's decent, got his wires and all that, but he's also part of the problem sometimes. Like, imagine we're playing the Lakers, it's the 88th minute, score is 0-0😳. And this guy starts forcing everyone to sing some old anthem about the coast (you know, the "come on down, grab a seat" type stuff). It takes forever to get through those songs, and by the time we finally finish, it's already the 91st minute and you actually want to give the players some support. Seriously, I'm so done with all this forced cheering nonsense...

Man, don't even talk to me about "big games"... why is it that at Yankee Stadium, nobody's even cheering for the entire second half? Everyone just sits there in silence, staring at the field waiting for some random penalty at the end.

With SZ, you've got this group that shows up just to watch the game—they're physically there, sure, but they aren't going to get loud unless someone scores. You can't really "wake them up," but hey, don't blame anyone. It’s just easier for them to drop $13 for the North Stand than to shell out 60 or 80 bucks for the East or West sections.

People in the North Stand only show up because tickets are cheap, not because they care about cheering. Back when it was a matchup like LA Galaxy vs. Barcelona, I saw a whole mess of people in the North—mostly old folks in Barca jerseys and all that nonsense...

Just tell me straight—are you guys even showing up to games for the team or just because you care about who's running the show? Pivaj’s doing it for the club, not for himself... honestly, this kind of mindset is just pathetic.
