Why is the stadium completely empty?

Because it's a reserve team. They all have awful attendance.

Didn’t realize how far Bethlehem was from Philly. Guess that would be like the Legion playing in Atlanta.

Sup friends. Just moved to Alabama for work and I’d like to get up to Birmingham some weekend for a match. How’s the support been the first year?

Pretty good—5K last game. Good beer, great atmosphere. Nothing as crazy as tonight, though. 3-2, four red cards. Empty stadium. USL, I guess!

The average attendance for an independent USL-C team this year is 5,438. The average for an MLS reserve side is 1,306. That's why you won't see good attendance numbers for Bethlehem, Atlanta, Loudoun, etc.

Read they had to move because their stadium in Bethlehem has no lights.

Nashville SC played Bethlehem away a few months ago at some college in Philly. The stadium was a real shithole and our players sat outside during halftime. Also, they did pregame dressing at some basketball gym across the street. Pretty unacceptable at any level.

Every game is on ESPN+

And great play by Wright to set up the tap in.

Welp, that was quick! I’ll take a draw though, with this roster.

A good chance that you guys can meet Nashville SC in the playoffs.
