Not sure how they're ever going to top the last one

Anyway, did no-one warn them about the spotty track record of Star Wars sequels?

NYCFC is probably safe to do it this year - Empire Strikes Back was the original sequel and it was universally thought of as the best movie in the entire series.
 
I never understand the thought process that creates an awesome giveaway that anyone can get -- other than your best customers that spend the most money with you.

Maybe they'll show up on the Cityzens page.
I already checked over there and its not there. But maybe, consistent with last year, they'll put up whatever is left over after the match on the Cityzens portal.

At least this item is a scarf and not a t-shirt, so you really aren't restricted size-wise to having to get a specific one.

But definitely agreed. I bet if they attempted to sell those to season-ticket holders a whole bunch would get sold (I'd definitely buy one)

they already have us as customers, so these marketing events are to pull new customers in, but agreed with the frustration
 
Well folks I will try to temper my expectations ... But for the intern who's reading this please pass on ...
Play music from Star Wars in the stadium. Surprisingly it is pretty iconic and emotes a certain vibe to those even with only passing familiarity. For example the Star Wars theme is grandpise and epic ... Would make a great entrance song for our team. The good guys. There is actually a scene in the films where the bad guys walk in. Use that when introducing the other team.
You know those video boards you have that you do virtually nothing with. You know they show the game but hardly ever replays and then scroll through the names of the boroughs as if I'm not from here. How about something related to Star Wars on them. Maybe edit some clips and use them. There are some good quotes from the movies. "I'm not afraid" ... "You will be" comes to mind but there are Many many more. Possibly take pictures of team members dressed as iconic characters. Porto as Han, David villa the kid (el guaje) as like, fat frank as Jabba, Hernandez as a storm trooper, Saunders as a character that dies, and so on. Use these on your video board. Or maybe have a little self deprecating fun and instead of each borough do a planet from the films. Dagobah for Staten Island, coruscant for manhattan etc.
have your staff dress up.
Have the cops and fireman dressed as storm troopers
Let fans come in dressed up and tell us we can early.
Give out little lightsaber things to illuminate the supporters section or "thunderstorms" that look like lightsabers.

Also can I recommend googling Star Wars night hockey, or baseball, or any sport and steal ideas that have been done to great success elsewhere.

Looking forward to Star Wars night.

Also great that we are playing Chicago since their pizza is shit and it reminds me of pizza the hut from space balls.

Didn't we work out a long time ago (in a galaxy far far away), that Slosh is Jar Jar.

The Star Wars night we want, but not the one we're going to get.
