(we want our scarves too, but that’s a different post altogether)

The 6th City Syndicate wants. . . nay, needs you. We need your voice. We need your enthusiasm, your energy. We welcome everyone to stand with us and support our team. Yes, stand. We don’t sit at games, we stand, for 90 minutes. We wave flags… a lot. We bang drums. We sing. We chant. We yell insults at the opposition no one outside of Detroit would want their mothers to hear. We welcome everyone, but are not for everyone. If you want to watch the game peacefully sitting in your seat, only clapping or cheering for goals or “really exciting plays” DO NOT SIT BY US. If you sit by us your day will be ruined.

Seating

6th City Syndicate understands that not everyone at a soccer game is there for the raucousness that we enjoy. We also understand that for those who don’t enjoy said raucousness, a large unruly group of raucous bringers may lead to an unpleasant game day experience. We do not want that. We want everyone to enjoy the game in their own way. We are supporters, we support the team. We never want to be the reason that someone would choose to not come back to see another game. That hurts the team, we don’t want to do that.

6th City Syndicate has worked with AFC Cleveland on a seating arrangement that will allow everyone to enjoy the game. We will sit in our own section. . . on the other side of the field. AFC Cleveland has arranged the smaller bleachers to be open as the official 6CS supporters section! If you want to stand with us and raise your voice in support of the team we want you to do it with us!

How to Join

So, you wanna be part of the 6th City Syndicate? OK, here’s what you do… Declare yourself. Just come to the game and stand with us and we will count you among our number. If you want to get news and updates about what we’re doing just email your name to 6CS@6thCitySyndicate.com and we’ll add you to our members list. That’s it. No dues. No fees. The price of membership is your support, that’s all.

To be able to sit in the supporters section you will be asked for confirmation of membership to 6CS by a ticket taker at Byers Field. All you need is the picture below. Print it out and bring it with you. While this may seem a bit excessive, we are very serious about not ruining a game day experience for others. By presenting this paper to the ticket taker you are acknowledging that you are fully aware that you are entering a supporters section. You will be among people who are standing, singing, chanting, drumming, and flag waving for 90 minutes. Your view may be obstructed. You may hear profanity. People in the supporters section may or may not have had a few adult beverages before coming to the game. We readily welcome all those who want to join in the fun.
