The Great Chicago Fire inspired not only the sport of soccer itself, but also some of the greatest hits of the krautrock era. Expect an inferno of fútbol when the Chicago Fire engulf opponents at Toyota Park during the promising 2010 season. With today's Groupon, you get a mid-field seat in the Center Circle seating section for $25 (a $50 value) to one of five Chicago Fire games: watch them reduce the San Jose Earthquakes to a mere tremor on Saturday, April 10, at 7:30 p.m.; deny the Houston Dynamo a victory on Saturday, April 24, at 7:30 p.m.; chew into Chivas USA on Saturday, May 1, at 7:30 p.m.; downgrade FC Dallas on Thursday, May 27, at 7:00 p.m.; or disband the Philadelphia Union on Saturday, June 5, at 7:30 p.m.
From a Center Circle seat, located in sections 106–108 of Toyota Park, you'll get an awesome view of all the foot-fueled fútbol action that has made the game into what most consider the most popular spectator sport in the world. Watch the game like a soccerish sparrow, chanting and cheering on the Chicago Fire as they bicycle-kick balls and block opposing shots in their quest for goal-filled glory, or throw your shouts of contempt like deadly pennies tossed from low-hanging clouds of fiery fandom.
This Groupon also gives its users the chance to win autographed Chicago Fire memorabilia—just write your email address on your redeemed Groupon and you'll be entered in a Groupon-exclusive raffle to get a John Hancock'd piece of Fire gear (not actually signed by jazz legend John Hancock).
Reviews
Yelpers give the Fire 4.5 stars:
- If you can manage to be bored at a Fire game, there just might be something wrong with you…the great thing about soccer is that the action is continuous and fast and there's always something going on. – Jenny A.
- Fire games are so fun to go to! I have season tickets in the crazy fan section, and I have a blast! I like to take food and tailgate in the parking lot before the game! – Anne S.
- The only thing better than going to a Fire match is taking someone else to there [sic] first Fire match. – Ted o.
Groupon Says
Root, Root, Root for Disaster
When the Chicago Fire made their debut in 1997, many survivors of the actual Great Chicago Fire took umbrage, until it was made clear that the team's name was actually in reference to a different, much worse Chicago fire planned for September of 2010. Nowadays, it's common for sports teams to use historical disasters as their mascot or moniker:
- The Hinsdale Hindenburgs
- The Montreal Super-Titantics
- The Toledo Mudslide-That-Swept-Jerry-Away
- The Roswell Nothing-Happened-Heres
- The Philadelphia Bad-Stuff-That-Went-Down-in-Harry-Potter-VI
