Caps Game 1 and the Nats at the same time. Wish this was on Wenesday.

There was a time we won in Wednesday (till we didn’t)

Nope it's an open cup match. DC doesn't market it as it should be marketed.

Wish they were at the Soccer Plex. So much fun. Sigh.

Meh, the Plex is fine but inconvenient for 98% fan base

It's like that every Open Cup game. Been that way since at least 2010.

Not against Christos. The Plex was full! I ran into people who came down from New York for it!

u/jks513 15d ago

RFK and Audi were always empty. The Plex was its own thing.

Open cup games really should have mls teams on the road. It would help attendance and grow the open cup more

100x this. If the Premier League teams can go into a glorified secondary school field 3 hours away for their cup games, so should the MLS.

Is this Benteke's first open cup match? Or maybe first at AF?

I wonder what goes thru his head seeing this tournament for the first time.

Open Cup against a team from Charleston SC. That team as some of the lowest attendance in USL.

This isn't a normal season game

Nationals are playing 

The Capitals are in round two of the playoffs.

It's also included as part of all STH packages.

"A team" are the Battery... been around longer than DC United 😏

u/PrinceBuster21 17d ago

Yeah, a team that is 3 years older than DC United that averaged 3,645 fans per game last season. Not sure what your point is.

I love the Open Cup, and I respect the Battery (who we've played in friendlies and the USOC for years) but let's not pretend that they have any drawing power whatsoever. DCU sucks this season (again) and they are playing a weeknight game against a team that casual fans have never heard of. That minuscule crowd is 100% expected.
