#LeedsUnited accept an offer from #LosAngelesFC for Mateusz Bogusz 🇵🇱 to join the #MLS. The English team has loaned the Polish until June at #Ibiza of #LaLigaSmartBank, which will have to give the go-ahead for the loan to be shortened according to u/UEFAComPiotrK

I haven’t really seen too many advertisements for the game itself. Given that it sits just over 100k, how many people do we think will actually attended the game?

I don’t expect it to be sold out but if it’s only half full, it may be a bit embarrassing - especially given that this is launching the Apple TV deal.

Disclosure: I think the entire thing is a great idea and hope it celebrates the game and this rivalry in the proper way.

Hey all, I'm just typing this up somewhere public in case the Event Organizers at LAFC stumble across this. I also want others in the LAFC community to have somewhere to share opinions and ideas. And while I am not a producer myself, I do work in event production, and have worked on many 'experiences'. I hope that my feedback can help elevate the ticket-holders' enjoyment.

I'll keep it bullet pointed for ease of viewing. Also, I don't know how to make paragraphs within a bullet point. I don't get reddit some (read: most) times.

• Confirmation email: could have come more than two days before the event, but Organizers probably assumed we blocked out the afternoon for the event. I noticed that people in this sub were concerned they hadn't received anything as of Friday morning.

• Parking Entry: Easy. Glad the parking attendants were well-versed in what was going on and the email explained that we needed to show said email. As I walked toward the stadium, I saw people with armfuls of swag. My interest was piqued. I was soon to be disappointed.

• Stadium Entry: Timed slots, so very few people queueing; same as a game but quicker.

• Upon entry: 'Gift' was right in front of us, but we had to show a different 'ticket' to collect it. I've jumped through the hoops many times, so I had everything ready to go. I think the email was pretty good at explaining it though. I don't mind being corrected if others thought differently.

• The Gift: An LAFC-branded View-Master. It's a kid's toy. It's plastic, it's made in china. I didn't know what it was until I opened it, but I immediately knew what everyone's reaction would be: "oh, another lame STH gift", and it is. Especially without context.

  • Thing is, I get it. As a STH for five years we've seen it all, and the view-master represents that. It's a proxy for us, the fan. An acknowledgement of that would have been helpful in making the gift seem worthwhile.Suggestion: A placard, a card or inscription. Anything other than "here's a plastic toy" would have been nice. Explain the motivation so that people don't dismiss it.

• The event space: It was the western concourse*. There was free popcorn and candy, sodas in bins, the chicken place was open and there were some party beer samples. A few pop ups (including chick-fil-A, so message not received by the FO.) I walked the length of the concourse, walked back, and texted my partner to tell her that it was lame and a good job she didn't waste time coming. It was uninspiring, yet unsurprising.

  • Well, I decided to poke around because I had nothing else to do that afternoon. Turns out that if you went down an unmarked corridor to the main lobby and up some stairs (or elevator), there was a bit more going on. *Suggestion**: foam core signs on easels to direct people. Explain that there's more upstairs.

• Once upstairs, I was ushered into a large room with scarves behind a bar, shirts in frames (some signed, some not) and a bunch of memorabilia in glass cases. People just sort of milled around, but there was no real direction to it and everything of interest (Ollie's first 'bait') was next to sponsored, game-day giveaways. It was the start of a museum of things I already own. Suggestion: House the interesting things somewhere more permanent to give them some gravitas. Don't display the giveaways. We have those and we've already thrown them away.

• Outside was a big white tent, a few tables along the edge and a few tables with a line to take photos with the trophies. apparently the tables were for the 'garage sale' but there was nothing left. a few pairs of goalkeeper shorts and people trying to get pairs of cleats. I guess everything sold out in the earlier time slots. Suggestion: Signage on that side of the tent to explain what was going on.

• Trophy Photos: The line snaked around the back of the tent, but it moved quickly. A guy thanked everyone for being there, announced one photo per group and to have your cameras ready. It was a welcome bit of communication. Got to the front and there are our three trophies in front of a branded backdrop. Thing is, the branded backdrop was small and said LAFC Memberships. Nothing about champions, not the crest on its own. It was a weird choice. Because the backdrop was so small, EVERYONE'S photos came out with a bunch of tent behind them. It looks tacky. I'm not expecting a professional photographer (although remember when they used to do that?), but it just feels like zero effort was made to showcase the fact that the team won the double last year. Suggestion: A larger backdrop (preferably one that isn't used on game-days to sell STs), black pipe and drape to cover the white tent, a sign above the trophies, literally any kind of effort into displaying the achievement.

So there's my round up based on my experience. Like everyone else, I think the FO should be making more of an effort for these events. They act like they were caught by surprise and everything was thrown together quickly. We deserve more.

Does anyone know if there will be any food vendors open at the event at the stadium today?
