Problems In The Fort Harken Back To Bad Old Days Of MLS - Burgundy Wave
For many MLS observes, the most disappointing aspect of the whole situation with New England Revolution security removing supporters from The Fort is how much it reminds us of the bad old days of MLS. You know, back when the key demographics were so-called soccer moms and youth teams.
The Burgundy Wave, who witness much of that era first hand while supporting the Colorado Rapids through the years, is happy those days are now gone at Dick's Sporting Goods Park:
It all reminds me of the Rapids supporters and the problems between them and the Rapids FO that we saw for so many years, efforts that squelched our real supporters groups and killed any attempts at atmosphere we ever may have had at Invesco Field up until last year when the Terraces were finally put in. Although there was never anything as straight up sickening as this, bans from the stadium and even an arrest or two took place between security and the supporters at DSGP on occasion. To this day, things like streamers, smoke bombs and a lot of other things are banned and anything to be used in the terraces has to be ‘checked in’ so as to avoid any conflicts.
