The North Carolina Courage sits at the bottom of attendance this week but had a record-breaking crowd for a debut match at WakeMed. Lots of work for the organization to do so they can continue to build moving forward. This team deserves a sold-out crowd.

The club is building trust back with supporters and raising their efforts on and off the pitch to create an environment the community loves. It's going to be a process, but there are lots of positives moving forward already. The crowds will come if that work continues

Would really like to see them market outside of Cary and downtown Raleigh. Lots of people in the suburbs that they could reach…

Home opener was also the weekend of Jefferson Cup in Richmond, VA, a huge college showcase event featuring a lot of local teams. Lots of families would have been there had it not conflicted.
