What do you think of this fan experience?
Tbf MLS often gets criticised for not having atmosphere but with FC Cincinnati and LAFC that's changing.
LAFC, Atlanta, Seattle, Toronto all great fanbases too
MLS have gone from a retirement league to one of the most forward-thinking and passionate footballing countries in just a matter of years - incredible 👏🏻
Fair play to them, looks like a very good fan base.
I'm gonna miss FCC when they move to their new stadium, its been fun having them on campus and having them here got me to start paying attention to soccer
Finally somewhere in USA gets it about football and good on them for it
Greetings from Cinci!
Those troublemakers at
Fairplay, I'm getting a very Liverpool, Atletico, Dortmund-esque vibe to their support - a bit more working class, previously disenfranchised fan base coming together with their own identity and smashing the glamour clubs off the park. Good luck to them.
While I can disagree and say Kansas City has better fans, I’m happy to see the sport grow in my nation! It’s always wonderful to see more Americans accept the game!
I hope they do better this year. The fans deserve it.
That’s a start but there is still a lot left to go
Fair play to them
Just to let you know that’s not our highest attendance it’s now around 40,000 against LA galaxy
73 thousand of my friends in Atlanta beg to differ.
in europe the atmosphere of cincinnati is the atmosphere of a farmers league
Hey BBC Sport how bout the Portland Timbers Army, those are the best fans in all MLS as well an example and inspiration to other fanbases!
Soccer in America is really the 3rd sport of America behind Grid Iron and Basketball. Soccer has the highest participation of all the major sports in America and is ranked as the second most popular sport for Americans under 35. The reason is the videogame FIFA is actually teaching the Americans about soccer because it one of the most popular sports videogames in the US. Atlanta United is the 4th highest attended soccer team in world football. The problem in the US for soccer is the media, who treat soccer like a niche minor sport, so give it very little mainstream coverage despite the fact MLS is 3rd best attended sports league in America and US world cup games get higher TV ratings than NBA, MLB and NHL finals. The next big problem in the US is the pay to play system, where it can cost as much $8000 a year to play in an amateur kids team. This makes soccer super upper middle class like tennis in the US and excludes kids from a poorer background from getting into the game and the better and hungrier athletes tend to be working class, so the US nation team is not as good as it should be. The unfettered capitalism US means it cost more to play in kids sunday team than playing in the academy of Man CIty. If none of the French World Cup team would have been rich enough to play soccer in the US.
Finally fans who loves watching their team get destroyed.
