I just went through the headache of setting up YouTube tv on my Roku and getting a 21 day free trial to find out the game is actually on ION- google says YouTube tv. Just wanted to share
ION is free!
Did they give out the little papers/mini poster thing that they gave out at the first match, Spirit Fest etc? We got into a minor car accident on the way to the game and only arrived just after kick off instead of when gates opened so if they gave anything away we couldnt get it 😞 My daughter was bummed because she uses them to decorate her walls as a memento from each game we go to. If anyone has any idea how i could get one (if they had them this time) please let me know!
Im in DC for grad school and went to a game with my school last week. I think I’m ready to join the spirit bandwagon. Anything I should know about the players or the team in general? I enjoyed the atmosphere of the game and I’ve also heard about what the team has done for the cities culture for the past few years and I’m genuinely impressed.
My wife and I are new season ticket holders this year, our kid will be old enough next season that they will need their own seat. We did not sign up to lock in the rate as 1) we wanted to make sure we enjoyed going (we have about a 1:30-2 hour commute) and 2) didn’t know if we would stay in club due to needing a third seat. All three of us are enjoying the games quite a bit and are assuming we will renew, is it normal for prices to go up substantially year after year or are they typically just adjusted slightly with demand? I know we are too early to know for sure if they are going up, but I’m a planner so didn’t know of any long term season ticket holders could give some insight on it!
Even though I hear it at Wizards, Caps and sometimes even Nats games, I'm surprised every match by the number of people that scream "Oh" during the signing of the National Anthem. Are they/you doing it because of the Orioles tradition or is there a Spirit connection I'm unaware of?

Friends I drove to the game
Tonight. I resisted the opportunity to buy the parking for $104 the Spirit constantly email me about next to the stadium. I parked in the same lot they would have sold me
For $104 for $60.
This club becomes greedier each week.

Hey all! I’m in town for work and will be attending my first ever spirit game tomorrow night. Outside of Trinity Rodman I know next to nothing about the spirit, what essentials should I know about the team and experience before I go? And before anyone asks yes I plan bringing a rain jacket!
Thinking about upgrading to club seats tonight, but curious about the menu before I do (I had club season tix in 2024 and 2025). Anyone in the club able to share the menu?
Still riding the high from our second home win tonight but also can't believe we have 3 matches this week. Has anyone heard anything about any watch parties for the Orlando game?
Hello everyone. I splurged on field side seats (for Wednesday since they were lower than usual because weekday game) and I was wondering how it all works. I’ve done club before but I don’t know if it’s the same process, check in area, food, etc. Any tips would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
DM me if you are interested
Looks like a solid chance of rain all afternoon and evening, and even a thunderstorm. How early do they usually announce a rain out?
Normally, Id just walk to U St metro and then navy yard, but the rain's timing....I thought i could just grab the bus at 18th/Cal (C53/51) and take it all the way to a few blocks from Audi but wmata and google arent really making that seem like an option....
Welcome to this week’s open discussion thread!
This is your space for general discussion, a place to talk about anything Washington Spirit that doesn’t necessarily need its own thread. That can include news, international duty, roster moves, transfer rumors, tactics, social media posts, league news or anything else on your mind.
If something feels big enough for its own thread, definitely still post it. This is simply an additional option to keep us organized and help keep the conversation flowing. These threads will go up every Monday and stay stickied throughout the week.
Go Spirit!
Huge applause. Standing ovation from me for that diving block and all the rest.
