Every player was there. Patrick was there. Claudio was there. Patricof was there. The total crowd was probably 100-150 people. All the guests were drinking. None of the players were drinking. It was a great chance to mingle. Access was great. We were all hanging at the same party. Hivemind had individual players make videos for each of his family members who weren’t there, and everyone was happy to do it.
The players were spread throughout the room(s) but there were a few groupings. The guys who don’t speak a lot of English (i.e., Herrera, Callens) were in one group. The Scandis were in another. But everyone was super approachable and friendly.
During the brief speeches (Patricof, Claudio, PV spoke) Hivemind was standing on the side of the room where most of the team was standing. Hivemind was right in the middle of the squad. Hive would post a 15 second video he took during that time but something technical about uploads and extensions is stopping even Hivemind from doing this.
The speeches were very short. Community, Fans, great win in KC. Rah rah.
There was no separation between players and guests except for outfits. The players were all wearing the same squad polo shirts. The heat in the room was turned up too high so they were lucky to be in short sleeves.
The Cityzens pass didn’t come with VIP access, but Hivemind believes that was just an extra half an hour at the start to hang with the team and fewer guests.
Hivemind spoke to most of the squad but Villa always had a large crowd around him so Hivemind didn’t bother. Hivemind’s best interactions were with Berget, Ring, Sweat, McNamara, Sands, Lewis, Awuah, Rawls, and Chanot.
