I was not expecting anything that wonky. Fully worth reading just for the methodology, let alone the rankings. Bravo I say!Here you go. I think this was posted elsewhere too.
It's both interesting in its own right and a funny satire on advanced soccer analytics. He creates a measure xENT - expected entertainment - for each team.
Ranking every team in MLS based on entertainment value - Backheeled
Who's the most entertaining team in MLS? We created a new, totally mathematically sound metric to help us find the answer to that question.www.backheeled.com
Well I'd sort of passed over this article several times but your post finally got me to read it, for which I thank you!
(can we pin this thread pls?)
In a frankly surprising turn of events (didn't expect this when i went to sleep and Dallas was leading...), Dallas and LAFC dropped points, and thus NYCFC are now in the driving seat for the supporters shield. A win on sunday will do that. (Well, games in hand but still.) I know Chicago is one of those matchups that tends to be crappy for us (low scoring pretty much every time) but I think we can nail 'em. This home rally is what we really need before going on the road again, and being atop the support shield race going into that would also be a huge help!

Something that has me quite upset is that NYCFC is playing midweek of our derby matches, while Red Bulls is not...Thanks MLS schedulers for parity...

Yea I noticed that too. First one will be tough. Coming back from Dallas, which will be a difficult game weather wise, will be very draining on the boys. It'll be tough to come back and put on a top performance just 4 days later.
The second derby - both home matches, so no travel. Campeones Cup is another chance at silverware, so I can't knock it and last TRUE home game of the season vs the red bulls. I think the boys will get excited for it, especially if the stadium is packed being our final true home game and likely fan appreciation day. Just wish the game was at 6pm or something. 1pm suckssssssss
I am being facetious of course.
I agree it’s difficult to make the schedule but what if the schedule makers knew that NYCFC was planning on announcing a MOU for a new stadium and they want to announce it the week of Champeone and Red Bulls games.

Well, they played the first game, Yankees won 6-1, and in the second game they took a perfect game all the way into the 8th. So looks like they'll get both games in.
Yankees are killing it. Mets are right behind them.
Very complicated picture for NYCFC as the MLB playoffs run right alongside the MLS Playoffs.

Yeah, I have just 2 vouchers left on my 20-voucher plan, but I had to use them aggressively to get here. Even then, I wasted a pair when I got sick one game day and couldn't sell or even give away my tickets, and I will be out of town for the last Yankee stadium game on 9/17. Managing this was especially hard because 2 games were switched to RBA after the season started.
Yea. I appreciate the club making RBA games optional. but if the money goes back to the account and is forfeited if not used, then that doesn't help me. I signed up to be a member to support the club playing in NYC. RBA games should have been refunded to the payment method.
I think my plan is to buy extra tickets and try to sell them to make my money back and then hope I am able to go to the final home game vs the red cows and do legends or something. that's easily gonna be a big chunk of credits.
does anybody know if LEGENDS food is different for lunch vs dinner?
It's the same in the Legends Suite regardless of the time of day. If it's an earlier kickoff (like 12 - 1 PM), there's some breakfast food options since gates open at 11:30 AM.
Same. I’m hoping I can build out a day with my sons soccer team. Maybe Campeones. But a terrible use of money this year.

Ask your ticket representative about pitchside seats. We were able to upgrade for the Miami game. I don't know if there are a few held in reserve, or if a season ticket holder exchanged seats, but it was a good way to spend accumulated credit.
FWIW there were plenty of open seats Saturday pitchside. I'll defer to Lion as to whether it might be season ticket holders absent or seats not purchased, but I would think that the team would want bodies in seats either for television presence or marketing.
