They've been sending all of their season ticket holders personalized video messages from the players and coaches. Mine was from Jason Mims. That's really cool. It makes you want to root for them to succeed vs. sports entities that have clearly lost sight of the fans like Major League Baseball.

I went. It was fun. Solid atmosphere. I hung out in the supporter section the whole time. Good group.

It was a solid crowd that was into it, but at the end of the day, it was only 2500 spaced out by design in a venue that holds almost 10k. The supporters section, where I was, was more into it of course. It wasn't that full on soccer experience that you'd want yet just because of how the crowd was mandated to be smaller, but it was a decent atmosphere based on what we have to work with right now. It got loud at the end with the goal. The supporters section didn't do the full chants and singing that we practiced at the CU game because of social distancing guidelines.

That makes sense. At least the energy is still there, this certainly can be a great league/team for Omaha to have.

I'm not overly familiar with that group, but I think I recognized a couple of people who affiliate with them.
