One of my favorite things about going to the #NewEnglandFreejacks home opener yesterday (besides #OldGloryDC winning!), was the stadium experience. It really felt like the whole community was there, with kids doing their homework on the picnic tables by the pitch, and people trickling in throughout the match, paying cash for tickets.

I think a lot of it had to do with the stadium being in the middle of Quincy, so it’s just there for people to go to on a whim. This contrasts sharply with the venues that Old Glory have played at (with the exception of Catholic University in their first season), where they’ve always been fairly out of the way, so the only people who show up are real #rugby fans who are willing to go out of their way (like me).

This was much better. I would love it if Old Glory found a pitch in DC on the Metro. No reason they couldn’t have a similar stadium experience. #MLR

#NewEnglandFreeJacks need to pick it up in the second half if they want to come away with the win today. #ChicagoHounds looked much better in the first half.

#USMLR2024 week 14 kicking off tomorrow! #SeattleSeawolves have a bye week so #HoustonSaberCats are safely in the number 1 spot in the West. If all the stars align, #DallasJackals have a chance to move up to number 3 but they have a much tougher opponent in #NewEnglandFreeJacks than #SanDiegoLegion do in #UtahWarriors. In the East the Free Jacks are holding the top of the table but #NOLAGold are nipping at their heels.

Both #Texas #MLR teams playing tonight, and both streaming live on #TheRugbyNetwork! #HoustonSaberCats looking to stay at the top of the pack but #SeattleSeawolves are close. #ChicagoHounds have a chance to jump to #1 in the east with #NewEnglandFreeJacks having a bye week.
