Supporters Group Panel
Hey everyone, I just wanted to repost the information that RH put up this weekend about a panel of supporters for a discussion he'd like to have. The original post is here, with text below.
Ladies and Gents,
i wondered if i could get a panel of say 10 supporters section people? here's the method to my madness. we need to make a big decision on some components of the supporters section. the decisions will impact location, ammenities and ultimately ticket prices, so i want to make sure you and i are on the same page. i would like to try to meet for 60-90 minutes - preferrably over lunch (i'll buy) or maybe prior to a game? the carrot is this - you'll see the stadium renderings - and no, i won't let you take pictures or walk out with anything, but at least you'll be able to tell others whether it's awful, or it rocks (which it does). if there would be any way to nominate a group, that would be great. what's really key here is whomever the panel is will be making decisions for all of you. i'll be able to blame the panel for years to come whenever there is a complaint on ticket prices :). i'd like to try to get together the first week in april. can you all organize some way of putting together the panel and letting me know? email me at: heineman@ongoalkc.com. thanks for your help...rh

Heineman Gets Some Love...and Hillcrest Too
Martin Rogers at Yahoo! Sports posted an article today about OnGoal President Robb Heineman's unique and refreshing ownership style. Rogers cited Heineman's involvement here at Hillcrest Road and his penchant for posting on Big Soccer among his desirable qualities. As always, Robb gives some very good quotes and offers insight into his thinking and his goals. Check out the article here.
In one of the middle paragraphs, Rogers even cites Hillcrest Road and your responses as a measure of Heineman's success. Proud to see we're getting a little love from a highly esteemed soccer writer.

Heineman Speaks
Hello all. Usually Robb himself posts his words on this blog. This time, however, it will be me. The other day, Robb had a very candid conversation with David Streeter of the Topeka Capital-Journal in which he discussed CommunityAmerica Ballpark, The Trails, the players and the technical staff. Selected quotes below. See the whole story here.
"I think the proximity of the fans to the field and the sense of energy from a full stadium will add something to our club. I also believe the scarcity value of a ticket will add to the game day experience," Heineman said.
"I feel like our players have all bought in to the OnGoal/Wizards story. We care about our guys and their families a bunch. We've invested heavily in facilities and amenities that allow them to take great care of their bodies, and I think they realize the future holds great things for Wizards' players," said Heineman.
"Overall, in our opinion, this will be the most authentic soccer stadium in the US. We are focused on preserving the game environment, maximizing sound and creating unique seating options for our fans. I'm hopeful that our supporters' groups feel like they have an incredible spot to support their team. While this building will be used for other events, we want people in the US to have the opportunity to view the beautiful game as it's played around the world," he said.
"I'm extremely confident in (Technical Director) Peter (Vermes) and (Head Coach) Curt (Onalfo). They've got a very good plan on how we're going to build this club and its ethos. I'm confident that we'll take a step forward as an organization. They know they have an ownership group that supports them and is willing to provide the tool to make them successful. I'm excited to go to games and watch them play," he said.
"When we bought this team, our intention was to make decisions based on what we as an ownership group felt was best for what we believed in most - Kansas City. That remains true. This stadium and the environment that surrounds it are going to make a statement to the soccer world, and the club that calls it home has intentions to do the same."
