Yeah. So whether that's per seat or per order, (current ticker reads 1,250 deposits) that's 10% of the stadium seats already secured if we assume all deposits will lead to season ticket purchases.
Not a bad first day for a club that hasn't played a match yet.

I looked at other teams season tickets in the league and roughly $150-400 per seat depending on where in the stadium

Total price plans haven't been announced but average USL memberships range between $100-$400. A team normally has between 15-20 home games so your PPG could range between $10-$25 bucks in current market conditions.
We'll have to wait and see if that math holds true for 2024 when the club announces more details.

I reserved 2 for myself! Super excited about having a soccer team in RI. Not a fan of using tax payer dollars for the stadium, but all I can do now is support it.

Great asset for Pawtucket and the State. Super excited for the team and events at the stadium!

It's per seat but there is still no info on how much season tickets will cost so they are allowing you to use your deposit towards a single ticket if you decide not to buy season tickets, so it's pretty risk free.

That's not bad

975 of those deposits are for FanDuel and DraftKings, whomever they are.

I feel the same way - I went to an Atlanta FC game earlier this year and if they can recreate even half of that experience it will be worth it. It was a blast.

That's going to be tough. Even the Revolution can't create half of the atmosphere that Atlanta has. It's awesome down there. But it'll be fun to have a short drive to watch a soccer game at a new stadium.

Name checks out. Was waiting for all of the Rhodents who say nobody watches soccer to come up with some MAGA-esque “fake news” claim to protect themselves from reality …

Gillette Stadium is too big for the Revs. It's empty and cavernous. The new stadium will be much more appropriately sized for the crowd that will go to the matches; it will feel a lot more full and lively.

Thankfully, soccer became the US's number one sport after the 1994 World Cup just like Alexi Lalas said it would.

I'm not saying you're right but I will say that the country I was born in hasn't existed for 30 years.

Over 10% is a great reach rate considering the team isn't putting out a product yet.

You go, Slav! or Czech, please!
Oder GDR? (CCCP?)

I'd be curious how many actual orders that would translate to. The deposits came to like $25 or something ridiculously cheap, right?
