In this episode of State of the Republic, we talk about Sacramento Republic FC’s massive 1–0 win over first-place El Paso Locomotive FC, sealed by a late goal in the final minutes of the match! This huge road victory means Republic will host its first USL Championship playoff game at home on Sunday, November 1!

The club has confirmed on their site in the match recap of the El Paso game that our first round game will be on November 1st. Time not determined yet. Just putting it out there.

Reporting as old reddit youtube link submission breaks...

• On the ground view of the new SacRT station that's right down the block from the future stadium site. Single track for now with double track scoped for the future when funding & demand arises.
• Will be interesting to see how it'll do when they ty to get transport folks out from the stadium during events of 10K+ people who may want to us public transit. Crush capacity for 4x SacRT S700 car sets is ~800-1000 passengers.
• Can see more construction going on. Underground water utility seems to be in (fire hydrant) and the roads are starting to be built.

I had my appointment today and it lasts about an hour. You park either on the garage next to the team store or the big garage on L street that is connected to the "old" Macy's building. They validate for two hours. They show a scale of the stadium, the east and west side, sections, VIP and premium entrances, cardinal directions of which side the stadium faces, public transportation, parking, vip parking, general parking etc. Then they take you to check out the type of seating for different memberships. The seat itself feels short for me. It cuts off mid hamstring. I like my bum and full hamstrings supported but that's just me. Then they take you to the rooms where you'll see the "eye-view" (it won't be accurate BTW because its a computer rendered "perspective" versus if you're actually at the seat--again, just me. Then they show the club seats, amenities, other perks like seeing the players come out of the tunnel, food, drinks, included parking etc, private entrance etc. They showed a sample menu--which didn't really have many vegan options but again--it's a sample menu.

Then comes the pricing. Club seats for one since its only for me, almost $5000 with a 5 year term. You can stretch the down payments (negotiable), and it stays interest free just like now. However, the payments increase 2% every year after. There's a 3 and 5 year term. The most expensive club seat is $255. The other club seats is still over $200 but below $250. Now, the C14 sections--the "lowest" seat in that section is $2945 with the same 3 or 5 year term.

Even with the perks and benefits these seats are offering, which they offer at HHP anyway, I can't see the value of paying so much.

Even with a discussion of closer to what I am paying now for section 107 mid-row at HHP for $1130, even at $2000, without a contract or a 1 year contract, it'd still be a lot.

The contracts is what turned me off, on top of the price, on top of my personal question of "realistically, how many games will I be attending in 2027?"

I had my eyebrows raised after seeing that $5000 number. The moment I saw that--I already knew I wasn't doing premium seats.

They will have a Quail Club which I was told will be closer to what I am paying now. How close? I don't know, but they will call me when they start scheduling in the weeks of November.

They gave me a 25% off discount card for merchandise valid for 30 days. I went to the store and left with a shirt and a 2024 kit--which I dont care if its 2024.

This is just me--for premium seating, I am priced out for 2028. I still yet to experience STH for 2027--I'll wait after to see if I want to continue as a STH.

Ask, ask, ask. Sometimes sounding like negotiating something can turn in your favor. My motto is "Just ask. The best that'll happen is they say yes."

That's my report.

NSFW because I pooped my pants during the "presentation"

Where y'all sitting in the new stadium? Would love to keep the 116 vibe going in the new stadium.

First to DM gets them

Does anyone have any idea how exactly they're scheduling the appointments?

Context: we were told that the "First 500” STHs would be the first to pick tickets, yet we're hearing from friends that they have earlier appointments.

I'll be honest, I'm a little "1st World problems" pissy about this. Wife and I are day 1 STH and were expecting a little more love. I've come to expect disorganization within their organization.

Should I raise more hell than a Reddit post? Strongly worded email, perhaps?

Edit: couple messages about the post. What I feel is the issue here is they're lumping all STHs together when they made promises that lifetime holders would have preference. Again, minor inconvenience, more just curious as to how they decided to break this up. Seeming more like the "less-work" path.

We built a Matchcenter specifically for the USL Championship that brings the league into one place. It includes live scores from around the USLC, match events like goals and cards, and a live table that updates as results change.

The idea obviously isn't new.

It’s live now at matchcenter.quailcitysoccer.com.

This is the first version, so we’ll keep improving it and adding things as we go. If you check it out and have ideas for something you’d like to see added, definitely let us know. Would love to hear feedback from other USL supporters.

In time we will add USL1 and USLP.

In this episode of State of the Republic, we talk about Sacramento Republic FC’s 3–2 win over Las Vegas Lights FC at home and last Saturday’s 1–1 draw against FC Tulsa on the road at the baseball field nobody wants to play at!
