What happened: Andres is part of a 10-year MLS feature centered on longtime season-ticket members. He belongs to the Itasca Society, a supporter group that has stayed on board since the inaugural MLS season, and the feature includes his view that soccer is a sport that unites people worldwide.
Why it matters: Long-tenured season-ticket members are a useful barometer for how well clubs have turned early curiosity into lasting support. A decade marker also gives MLS a clean measure of fan retention and identity beyond results on the field.
What to watch: More anniversary features tied to the 10-year MLS milestone could follow as the season continues.
