Not the outcome we wanted, but that’s the way it goes sometimes. HUGE thank you to everyone who came up this weekend to hang with us. Away Day Legends, indeed! #RCTID

You’ll always be TA:CO, friend! So great to catch up tonight!

The @timbers.com lost in Seattle this time. But I got to reconnect with @tacovertops.bsky.social friends and fellow Portlanders who made the trip up from @timbersarmy.org, and sing Bella Ciao at the top of my lungs, so it was still a good day.

Take care of yourselves in dark times, friends.

We’ve got another great partner bar in Post Pike Georgetown, but losing Kate’s is a dagger to the heart. Kate & her staff are special people. Stay tuned for future plans. If you’ve ever joined us for a drink and a match at Kate’s (or one of her EPIC Halloween parties), have a toast to Kate tonight.

OG TA:COs at Kate’s, the best damn bar in Washington.

Timbers Army: Covert Ops @tacovertops.bsky.social · 9d

Folks, we’ve got some terrible news. Our home for the last 10 years, a place that fed TA:COs when they were out of work during the pandemic, a place that hosted our baby showers, is closing.

Please, if you can, come up early on Friday and help us send off Kate’s TA:CO bar with a bang. #RCTID 😭😭😭

Kate’s goodbye letter. I’ll update to add full alt text once I stop crying. Sorry!

OH YEAH! And stay tuned for some in-stadium shenanigans to celebrate the 🐐Christine Sinclair. We’re still cooking on ideas, but we’re not gonna let the scheduling gods keep us from supporting our Thorns Forever Captain on her big day. #BAONPDX

Timbers Army: Covert Ops @tacovertops.bsky.social · 10d

We’ll be in sections 302/303 & they’ll be treated as GA. While the official TA tickets for the match are now sold out, Shittle security doesn’t want a ruckus, so if you buy a ticket for a nearby section & let them know you’re TA when you get in, 99% of the time they’ll move you to our section.

Timbers Army: Covert Ops @tacovertops.bsky.social · 10d

They usually have us enter through Gate 1 (formerly called the NE gate), but we’re still waiting on confirmation.

IF YOU ARE BRINGING IN A FLAG, 2-STICK, OR DRUM, get there early and give us a heads up! One of us has to escort them in! (If you’re bringing a baby, that’s on you to figure out)

After the Fancy TA:CO Open, we’ll gather outside Flatstick to march to the match together! This is where your little TA:quitos can meet up with us. 4:00ish (pending final details on when the Shittle FO wants us in the stadium). Be loud, be obnoxious, be the best damn supporters in the land!

“Ok, but seriously. What do I wear?”

“Fancy” means what you want it to mean. It started as black tie, and over the years we’ve had themes like casino night, garden party, and 90’s chic.

Go all out, or wear your fanciest old tshirt. Just remember: we wear this shit the WHOLE night, so comfy 👟s

Coming up on the TA busses? They usually don’t make it up here in time for Fancy, but last year they surprised us! We’ll play it by ear, and if you get here with a limited amount of time to party with us, we’re not gonna make you pay full price. Just don’t take advantage - this is for charity!
