Welcome
to www.Chicago-Fire.com, your
new online face of everything Fire and what we hope becomes your preferred home
for everything that is soccer in the Chicagoland area!
The
new Chicago-Fire.com will serve as one-stop shop for all things soccer here in
the Windy City and beyond. Not only will Chicago-Fire.com carry all of the
stats, HD video and insider access to aid your support of the Fire, but also it
will allow soccer fans like you the opportunity to personalize their soccer
experience. Whether it be near-instant Fire replays and video on demand,
photo galleries, fan blogs, scores and updates from the 2010 FIFA World Cup in
South Africa or events going on in the soccer community, Chicago-Fire.com will
be the online home for you that love the beautiful game.
Chicago-Fire.com
will feature a number of new functionalities built with the soccer supporter in
mind, including live HD video to maximize the online viewing experience and a
variety of editorial voices that will provide fans insightful content on the
Fire and soccer in Chicago and around the globe. The new site enables
supporters to interact with one another in a number of different capacities.
Supporters will be able to banter back and forth about the action on the field
and participate in online chats with fellow supporters through our club blog,
En Fuego.‪
This
new website not only represents a glance into the future of the Fire’s new
digital strategy, but also a new era in building upon the tradition, honor and
passion behind the Chicago Fire Soccer Club. The Club and MLS have made a
significant investment in improving this online experience for you, our
supporters. This includes new staff to keep this information fresh, fun,
and relevant. Jeff Crandall, for example, will be covering the team with
numerous features and stories that will only be found at
Chicago-Fire.com. Please check out his latest feature on Brian McBride.
Today’s
launch also represents a work in progress – a major initiative like this will
surely have its glitches and challenges, so please look at this as the starting
point, not the finish line. The Club will do its best to stay on top of
the updates and changes that need to be made…but we also want the input of you,
our supporters, in the coming weeks to make this the best Fire and soccer
experience possible. Please send us your suggestions and let us know what you
like – or what you don’t like – about our new site. We welcome your feedback,
insight, and perspective. So tell us
what you think!‪
See
you at Opening Night on Saturday, April 10th at TOYOTA PARK.
Go
Fire!
Regards,
Dave
