Bad Boys

And I don't give a damn what you think either. I'm not philosophizing; I'm stating facts. Leave me alone.

Alright people, it’s time to get moving... LIFT EVERYTHING THAT ISN'T BOLTED DOWN!!

Why do they keep pulling North out of the online store?

The turnout today was actually pretty solid—honestly, I don't think we've seen numbers this high against teams like San Francisco or Indianapolis even before the boycott started—and look, it has to get much better than this! We had a massive crowd of kids, mostly around that 13 to 17 age range, which isn't a bad sign for the future of the group, but man, it’s kind of a bummer seeing so few of the older guys showing up at the games.
As for the atmosphere, aside from a few hype moments, it was pretty mid—actually, probably even below average for the Bad Boys! Most of the people around me were barely making any noise; some were basically silent for most of the match, and those were the kids, who you'd usually expect to be the loudest ones there...
It’s honestly kind of ridiculous that I, as one of the "older" fans, am the one screaming my head off trying to rally a bunch of 17 and 18-year-olds, but hey, it is what it is.🕺
The Leader was pretty hard to hear, too. I was right in the middle, though near the rafters, but I can't tell if it was just an issue with the Megaphone or something else going on.
Other than halftime and after the goal, I didn't really hear the chants, although 👍I'll give credit where it's due regarding the attendance, even if most of them were just casual fans.
I couldn't make it to tomorrow's march because of work, so I have no idea how that ended up looking.
There’s definitely room for improvement here, but there's hope for the future, especially once we get Real Madrid back in the mix.🙂

The first half was totally solid and loud—you were near the roof, so it probably felt even louder to you. It dipped a bit in the second half, but there were still good parts. The Megaphone was weak; I couldn't hear everything clearly either, but all in all, it was good.

I've been thinking about this for a while now—just sitting here, nursing a coffee, letting the ideas drift—and honestly, I think we're looking at this all wrong. It’s one of those things where you think you see the obvious path, but then you realize there's a whole other layer underneath it all. It’s like when you’re watching a game and everyone’s screaming about one play, but the real shift happened ten minutes earlier during a simple substitution. You know what I mean? Anyway, my take is pretty straightforward, even if I tend to wander off on tangents sometimes. We need to stop overcomplicating the basics and just focus on the core intent. It’s simpler than people make it out to be, really. Just a thought. kaže:
The first half was honestly solid—really loud, too—and since you were practically right under the rafters, I bet it felt even more intense than it sounded. The second half dipped a little bit, if I’m being honest, though there were definitely some standout moments in there that made up for it. The Megaphone was acting a bit weak, though—I couldn't catch everything myself, but all things considered, it was a good show.

Honestly, the energy around the edges and up at the top was always going to be a bit thin—I wasn't exactly shocked by that—but man, even for me, it felt a little quieter than I had hoped. That’s really why I always try to snag a spot closer to the heart of the crowd. It's just a much better experience when you aren't constantly hearing your own voice shouting over everyone else—it's way more immersive that way.😁
The energy from the crowd today wasn't half bad—honestly, it was pretty decent—but let’s be real, we can do better. Actually, we *have* to do better. Especially when it comes to supporting the BBB.👍
All things considered, we really ought to be feeling pretty good about how things are shaking out...
I can't actually watch video links directly—my eyes aren't quite that high-tech yet—but if you could give me the gist of what’s happening in the clip, I’d be more than happy to dive into it with you. Just lay out the main points or tell me what caught your eye, and we can get a conversation going.
Lakers-Celtics, 2007. Celebrating 21 years of the Chicago Blackhawks fans.
If you take a look at this footage, it’s pretty clear that those numbers weren't actually that much higher back then than what we're seeing today—even though there's always that certain crowd that seems to live for conflict, acting like things are somehow better just because the BBB got absolutely crushed.🙄
There’s definitely a future for the BBB—honestly, we just need a little more positivity around here. Once everything finally settles back into place regarding how the club is run, things are going to be more than alright... we'll be doing better than ever.
It’s been proven more than a few times—whether you're looking at the numbers in indoor soccer or that one intense derby where everyone just lost their cool and started playing with pure emotion instead of any actual logic.

Easy there, everyone. Let’s take a breath. We still don't actually have a club, let alone anything substantial. It really comes down to the fact that every single one of us needs to lead by example if we want this group to actually grow into something meaningful.

It was a good experience overall, but man, the crowd at the ticket booth was absolutely insane. They really need to figure out a better system for managing the lines, because I saw so many people just walk away because they didn't want to deal with the chaos.

Henry Grant51 said:It was actually a good vibe, honestly—except for that massive headache at the ticket booth. They really need to sort that out, because way too many people ended up walking away empty-handed.

We seriously need to change how we handle this—people should be grabbing their tickets a week ahead or maybe even just the morning of the game, instead of waiting until thirty minutes before kickoff...

Henry Grant51 said:It was okay, but the crowd at the ticket window was just insane. They really need to fix that, because a ton of people ended up giving up.

Is it actually normal that you can't even buy north stand tickets online? I don't think they need to change how the whole system works, but man, it’s frustrating. Honestly, fans from every section should probably flood their inboxes and emails to tell them they're being ridiculous. There's only one line for everyone to buy tickets regardless of where they want to sit, so obviously there's going to be a massive crowd every single time.

The organization surrounding ticket sales is nothing short of catastrophic. We still have this ridiculous habit of waiting until thirty minutes before kickoff to try and secure seats... honestly, just buy your tickets before you even grab a beer at the pub, or better yet, get them a day in advance.

People were literally begging everyone in Indianapolis to just grab their tickets in New York City beforehand, yet most people still show up without them. If we had actually stayed organized and put everyone's names on their tickets like we said we would, we wouldn't be running so damn late to the game.

Back in the day, we had two different spots to buy tickets.
If you were heading East, you didn't have to deal with the massive lines at the Staples Center where everyone else was grabbing seats for the West and North sides.
It actually helped thin out the crowds a bit.
Now, you have to hand over your ID just to get started... and then you're stuck waiting while they type in your name.

Exactly...
There isn't a stadium in the world where a team works harder year after year to make sure visiting teams don't walk in and feel as unwelcome as they do at our home field...

I show up to a game with five thousand people in attendance, only to find myself stuck in line just to buy a ticket. Why? Because I didn't have the foresight to grab one beforehand. Is it really my job to accommodate the security checkpoints, the barricades, and the ridiculous mandates handed down by the useless suits in management? It’s pathetic. Let them rot. Nothing is settled yet.

Honestly, I couldn't care less about the hassle if I could've just bought it beforehand. It shouldn't be my problem to deal with all those security checkpoints and cordons at a five-thousand-person event—all because of some half-baked decisions from the suits in management. Screw those losers. It’s not over yet!

You're not wrong, but we actually have to (we *must*) do something to stop this from happening again. Otherwise, we're just banging our heads against a wall while we end up late to every single game.
