Jesse Campbell said:The capacity is 4500, and since 3000 tickets were already sold the day before the game, those stories about there only being three people in attendance just don't add up—that would imply not a single ticket was sold on match day itself.

Yeah, that’s spot on. That’s the actual seating capacity. I actually worked on a project over at the stadium once, so I have a bit of firsthand knowledge there...

So, I guess we're looking at roughly... maybe 3 sections of people?

Man, they should've brought out the Centaur, we would've had 10,000 people there by now.☕

Who was there doesn't matter. The footage says it all.

Two and a half, three and a half, four and a half, a dollar and a half, a man and a half...

The vibe is great. Kids and adults alike are just laughing and having a good time. We keep moving forward.

We actually made it out there—it probably hit close to 4,000 people if you round it up. Interest was huge, too; everyone was asking about tickets. I guess if we had a bigger venue next time, even more would've shown up.
But hey, we’re here, which pretty much shuts down all those rumors that we've disappeared or that we're finished. It just goes to show that we aren't just talking nonsense when we say we've been gutted by all those bans and blacklists. We're still standing.
If our Dynamo were a normal club—and truly ours—those numbers in the North Stand would be totally standard. Plus, you'd probably have a few hundred more casual fans. Then, once they saw the energy, the regulars from the East and West stands would jump back in, and we'd easily be looking at 20,000 or 30,000 people.
The crowd at the Salad was great, too—everyone from teenagers to folks in their 50s. Lots of dads out with their kids, girls, really a good mix. Though, I suppose there were a few rougher characters there who just showed up specifically to cheer.
Honestly, the Salad turned out to be a beautiful moment, one that I think people will be talking about for a while.

I’m just gonna say it—I was grabbing drinks out by the lake on Saturday night, and you could hear the whole crowd all the way over there. Especially at the end, when everyone started chanting "the players are leaving..."

Jeremy Mitchell11 said:I mean, I don't follow everything too closely, I don't know exactly what's going down in Chicago, other than reading all this stuff on the forums about how much repression there is and blah blah blah, but I still think we need more... it's the first game, it's yours, it's your club, and after a million years or so, maybe something actually good and positive will happen, so I'm thinking things might pick up a bit.

The Stadium and basically anything involving the fan scene has become something only people with iron stomachs can handle, regardless of which "side" of the fence they're on, and honestly, only the rare few outside the West Stand who aren't viewed as "enemies" by official authorities get the privilege of showing up without getting served their own little portion of trouble.
And looking at this seemingly inexplicable repression and this years-long, painful tragicomedy—at least based on what you guys are posting here—it’s pretty clear that a massive number of people who used to be everywhere, up, down, left, and right in the Salad stands, definitely fall under the BBB category, whether they were former members, current ones, or just people who stopped showing up for various objective or subjective reasons—and that number is SURPRISINGLY high.
Everyone else who considers themselves a "Dynamo" fan really needs to wake up from this winter slumber or whatever indignation they've fallen into, and the sheer amount of those people, along with the kids in the stands, is just as shocking when you consider how the BBB are portrayed to the outside world. It's obvious that the depths of the hole the Chicago football fan scene has fallen into are hard to grasp for anyone who hasn't personally been rolling around at the bottom of it.

1. Incredible... 🙂

2. I thought about calling people out individually to say thanks, but honestly, I’ve already settled most of that at Salad. And just in case I missed anyone, a huge thanks to absolutely everyone (including us)...

3. All this luck and joy is meant for those who maybe weren't quite there during the peak days of that '95 summer storm or Cvitin's goal against Newcastle back in '97.

4. Just get to the games. Every single futsal match and every away game for the rotten Dinamo. Take the kids to futsal so they can actually enjoy themselves—I haven't seen happier little faces in a long time. There were probably over 100 of them out there, between the players and the crowd. Incredible... Futsal isn't a replacement for Dinamo; it's the path toward our Dinamo... and that happiness mentioned in point 3.

5. Only just saw this video today. I'm sure most of you have already watched it (likely on mute), but I can confidently say it's one of the most powerful clips in the history of cheering in Chicago, especially from the BBB group. This video is everything: 🤣

I already told my crew that people were spilling out onto the streets just like that scene in the Joe commercial🙂 and they were staring at me like, "Where on earth is that thunder coming from?" 🙂

casualwolf48 said:but here we are... all those stories about us being gone or totally finished? Yeah, they’re falling flat on their faces.

When I was talking about this whole thing, I really tried to just push aside Mamić, that traitor, the cops, the media, all the proving things... just everything that wasn't *us*.

I was following that old rule from classic literature: "Stick with your own kind."

That was the only thing that mattered to me. Just seeing faces I haven't seen in forever, hanging out with people who get it, grabbing a beer, singing for OUR club... without any of those other names even crossing my mind. Just letting the feeling take over, you know? Feeling like I actually belong somewhere... like something is actually mine for once.

But after a mess like this? It's impossible to keep smiling when you realize how many myths just crumbled in three short hours. From the idea that we don't exist anymore, to that whole "fear of hooligans" nonsense, down to the sheer entitlement of that Dinamo guy... it's all just gone.

Like, I could honestly just tell your sister to go jump in a lake... 😍

Gosh, you're such a riot....

Do you guys even know what "kavatap" means? It's basically when things are totally out of whack, like, if I told you to go kick rocks...

Hey mods, is it cool if I use emojis here?

@Ivankovic

Yeah, I saw it later on, the registrar's office said there were about 5 million, thanks for the heads up!

Jeremy Mitchell11 said:Man, you're really something else...

Do you even know what a "kavatap" is? It's basically just some nonsense term I'm making up right now just to mess with you...

Hey mods, am I good if I use an emoji here?

@Ivanković

Yeah, I saw it later on. The news site said it was about 5 million. Thanks for the answer...

For someone with this many posts, you're pretty clueless. And I mean that seriously, even without the smiley face.
Plus, you're clearly just trying to stir the pot. That's why you're playing dumb and asking if it was 3, 4, or 5 thousand... you were just hoping for a higher number.
So, what's a little macchiato anyway??

Just so we're clear, why don't both of you just stop using Google Translate? ☕

Just a little piece of advice for both of you... please, stop relying on Google Translate for everything... ☕

Because, honestly, this is German, you idiots...

BTB, and honestly, all that old-school Chicago slang is just some pretentious, middle-class wannabe nonsense—you know, like those people who try way too hard to sound sophisticated—especially when people act like that whole vocabulary is still a thing... because I don't know a single living soul who actually uses terms like "schlemiel," "mensch," or any of those other outdated bits of junk anymore.

It’s honestly never enough, I mean it 😍—I haven't felt this kind of rush, just staring at these photos and videos, in maybe five years—back when I was feeling so much more
disconnected from everything.
The elections! 🙂

Time to do a little bit of marketing, don't you think? 😬
