    Like mentioned, it’s a complete culture difference. You can be an away fan and enjoy the whole stadium etc etc without having to fear for your safety in any way. The atmosphere won’t ever reach the heights of many European teams but there is nothing wrong with that. We just do things differently here

      When I was 12 coming up for 13
      I went to Super Bowl XXX (30) with my Dad back in 1996.
      We where supporting
      Pittsburgh Steelers they where playing Dallas Cowboys.
      Anyway Dallas Cowboys won & on the way out of The Stadium in Arazona we seen a Steelers fan had over a magnum bottle of Champagne to a Cowboys fan The Steelers fan had bought it to drink if
      Steelers had won.
      Now Pittsburgh Steelers &
      Dallas Cowboys have the largest fanbases in The U.S.A in terms of Sports.
      To put it in to context it's
      Like Rangers & Celtic getting to a Champions League Final in the same season fanbase wise.
      And Say Celtic win & a Rangers fan hands over a magnum of champagne inside the Stadium to a Celtic fan without cracking it over the Celtic fans Skull this would never happen.
      But in America it would so different culture 100% a different culture.

    Does look a bit sanitised, in that they have taken what appears to work elsewhere and adopted it, but that is understandable when the clubs don't have 100 years of history from where songs, traditions and behaviours develop. Gotta be honest, I expected it to be more plastic and less authentic a match day, but 6 hour on the sauce pre match is behaviour I can approve of! Great video.

      The game is growing we have a lot of American fans who do not support an MLS team but do follow a European team exclusively. Now I will say MLS games and fans of the sport in the US are more inclusive and are a close community because it is still new to some. The animosity and anger is there in other leagues lol NHL and NFL you can catch a fight form time to time and fans going back and forth. There is more history and rivalry though in those leagues they MLS at this point. We do respect and genuinely love the game here. I'm 30 and my generation has grown up on the game and playing it. Yes we have other major sports but we still love soccer/football lol I know most of us during the EPL season will watch whatever team you follow in the EPL in the morning and NFL in the afternoon. We do love it and hope that love continues to grow in the US we aren't all bad here folks

      Sure here in Ireland we get our football culture from what we see on TV so Americans are putting there own spin on it like we do here, then again American soccer might be different than here in Ireland because they get financial support unlike here in Ireland where our top flight team stadiums have the same quality of the lower levels of league 2 English clubs, but we're just as passionate if not more than anywhere else 😂

      Well said... I'm a Yank but I don't even support the MLS...too old and I was already all in with Liverpool. (And to a lesser extent Celtic as my grandparents are all Irish)...I also admit that some things Yank fans, especially those from the South and Midwest do can be cringey. But they're having fun and keeping it friendly. It's growing and will only get better. A lot of English fans seem to forget, or not realize that up until the 1950s most English stadiums were very reserved. Post war immigrants from Italy and Ireland are the ones who really kicked off the tradition of taking popular melodies and adding player/team chants to them... sucks that so many British people love taking the piss out of Americans for no other reason than us being American... trust me there's plenty of stuff we shud be slaggged off for...but this ain't one of em.

    Genuinely love this video.
    As a uk based MLS fan I’ve been an advocate for the league for considerable time when I hear stereotypical British based vans mocking it.
    The league continues to get stronger and stronger. I first started watching the MLS when Toronto joined but only because two players from my English side Norwich where I have a season ticket joined them and I was intrigued.
    I’ve supported Seattle since their incarnation all because of a Football Manager save I did many years ago. I LOVE how game day isn’t just 90 minutes and leave early to beat the traffic like it is for so many in the uk, it’s an all day event in the states. Me and my friends love Norwich but we don’t go for the football (we ain’t that mad lol) we make a day of it. Just like in this video. Love that side of it. Love my American sports anyway but love this side of it.
    Sadly too many muppets ruin the football experience in the uk for us to ever be able to experience game like they do in the USA. One day maybe.

    I must say that I am very impressed! The stadium looks modern and high quality and the fans make a good atmosphere. I didn't expect it to be like this, to be honest. It doesn't feel plastic at all.
    The atmosphere seems very friendly and positive. This is a place where I would go with my family without hesitation. And that's not always the case in Europe, unfortunately. The video made me realize how embarrassingly serious we take soccer in Europe at times.
    As you said: Football has to be fun. And MLS looks like a lot of fun. Good job Americans!

    Now Ellis that was one of your best and most interesting videos. Really like how the Americans celebrate their day out at a game of football. Back in the 80s i lived in Gibralter for a couple of years, and used to drive up to Malaga to watch top spanish football. The game was celebrated similar to there. We arrived 4 or 5 hours before KO, and just enjoyed the atmosphere in the sun before the evening game. It was too hot to play in the afternoon then. The food and drink was wonderful, with Tapas on stalls everywhere. The game really was an anticlimax in some ways, because one had spent so much time on the event. One could see that in Orlando the game was a day event, and the people went home happy and probably very tired. Trouble is that wouldnt happen in europe because of the fan animosity towards one another. Also, over here no one looses happily. Really enjoyed this eye opener into MLS soccer..Dave in Berlin

It's diverse, it's full of energy, it's inclusive, it's welcoming, and it rallies no matter what (which helps, given we lost to Cincinnati in the first game I saw and drew with Charlotte at the second). It's one thing to watch fans abroad cheering for their teams, and it's another to actually be a part of it and feel that pride. Hope you get more chances to see games across the pond!

    I’m American and started following the MLS this season but was hesitant cuz it’s always getting shitted on for the product on the field. Went to my first game this season which was the Red Bulls(yes I know they “don’t have real fans” but I’m in NJ). I quickly fell in love with it and I was shocked by the amount of soccer we have and it’s only growing. Definitely have been trying to get more ppl to follow as well but like he said the ratio of fans in small in comparison to out population but by pure numbers we still have a vast amount of fans.
