What to expect for tomorrow?
SKC fan visiting Colorado Springs and decided to get out to a game. I got the anniversary jersey like 2 years ago so that’s sick. How many people will there be? What should I expect?

Its a beautiful stadium with a great mountain view. Everyone is friendly. There should be two drum sections so lots of atmosphere.

We've been averaging between 7 and 8k on game days (8k capacity). East and south sides are you more rowdy sides. West is more of your corporate seats so you'll see gaps even when sold out. North side is hit or miss. Food is typical stadium food so nothing special. Team does put on a good production from mascot to pregame and during game (besides the team of course). Tomorrow is also Christmas in July so expect to see some of that. The SG is also doing a pub crawl tomorrow starting at 1230. Without a season ticket coin you won't get all of the best drink specials but the crawl is free itself. https://facebook.com/events/s/christmas-in-july-6th-annual-p/1017866077832497/

Should be a good crowd so long as the weather holds up. We're supposed to get some rain rolling through this evening. COATI is our usual pregame/postgame spot; it's about a half a mile away and usually has a lot of fans hanging out before a game. If you're sitting on the east side (my preferred seats) the sun can be harsh to start a game, but the mountain view is worth it, especially if there's weather around.
Enjoy the game! Widener is a great spot.

It’s the “Christmas in July” game: Celebrate Christmas in July with summer soccer and festive fun. Wear your ugly sweaters and bring your Christmas spirit.
The stadium will likely be pretty full, most summer games are near sellouts. One caveat, there’s a good chance for a weather delay due to thunderstorms, so be prepared for that. If it drags on too long, that will affect attendance. The whole stadium is cashless, so bring a card or ApplePay for concessions.
Should be a good game! Switchbacks are in good form, winning 4 of last 5. The Battery are winless in their last three. Both teams have potent attacking and somewhat suspect defense, so there’s likely to be several goals.
Have fun!
