Introducing Staff Spotlights: The Unsung Heroes of Subaru Park

Here at Section 120, we're not your average fans. We're more than just loud voices in the crowd, more than just season ticket members. We're a collective bound by passion, camaraderie, and a deep respect for everyone who makes our Union experience extraordinary.

That's why we're beyond excited to kick off a new series on our blog: 'Staff Spotlights'. These posts are dedicated to the heroes off the pitch – the staff members that keep our game day experiences at Subaru Park top-notch. And we want to take a moment to delve a little deeper into what these spotlights will be about, and how they'll work.

Every fan knows that while the thrill of the game and the prowess of our Boys in Blue capture our hearts, it's the seamless orchestration off the pitch that truly elevates the whole experience. So, we thought, why not give the unsung heroes behind this magic their due recognition? Why not bring their stories to the fore?

So how do we choose who to spotlight? Simple: we don't. We don't actively go out seeking staff members or take requests. The beauty of this series is in its organic nature. Over the years, we've been privileged enough to interact with numerous staff members - the ones managing our season tickets, the security we walk past each game, the facilitators we meet in the club post-game.

These spotlights stem from these natural, authentic interactions. It's the small talk at the beer line, the laughs exchanged with the usher, the friendly banter with the crew members. It's these real-life connections that transform our time at Subaru Park from merely watching a match to living an all-rounded experience.

Obviously, our Union players are the stars. They're the reason we gather in the stands. But we think there’s value, immense value, in spotlighting the people who work diligently behind the scenes. It's a different perspective, but then again, we've always been different.

So, stick around as we gear up for this unique journey. As we move into the second half of the MLS season and the buzz of the Leagues Cup sets in, we'll be bringing you stories from the heart of Subaru Park - the unsung heroes who make every Union match day unforgettable.
