Wondering if you have any thoughts or comments on the Tormenta fan experience? We are continually struck by low the fan attendance at games are, despite having outstanding owners, championship performances by the team in past seasons, having both mens and womens side thriving on the pitch, lots of youth players, etc.? Is it that the social media or supporters' groups for Tormenta have been lackluster? Or the humid heat just weighs everyone down & inflicts too much inertia to get to the game? I think the greater metro area that Tormenta draws from is fairly wealthy and numbers in the hundreds of thousands?

This is an article I have wanted to write on for a little while but have been extremely hesitant to do so. I think I will do the article about it this week.

Thank you! I'm hugely looking forward to reading it!

p.s. I hope you will cross-post it on Beyond the 90 and the USL1 sub-reddit. Bafflement such as what I have expressed have appeared in those communities as well.... And hopefully the Van Tassells subscribe to this blog --or someone should let them know the great coverage you have been providing here!!
