17 regular season home games
1 international friendly
2 open cup games
2 playoffs games
= 22 “seats”

1 account = up to 8 deposits

8 x 22 = up to 176 “seats” per account

This is the type of math used when announcing season ticket deposits.
All I’m saying is we should have announced 2,640,000 “seats” for the STC ticket pledge.

Opportunity lost. #SAD
And if you’re wondering why every MLS expansion team breaks the season ticket deposit record of the team that came right before them, just assume that your team will play THREE Open Cup games instead of two. Boom, eight additional “seats” per deposit.

First off - this whole fiasco started just 13 days after the 2018 CFC season ended. The books weren’t done, and the dust was hardly settled after the 2018 CFC season ended. Not all the players had even left town yet.

There was no serious warning from the outside.
On 7/27 - a Friday at 4pm, a “leaked” story came out that USLD3 was coming to Chatt and they hired former CFC GM, Board Member and co-Owner Sean McDaniel to fill similar roles for them.
