A few weeks back Santi Moar was reported as returning but as of this Tweet (Xeet?), it looks like he is moving on from NMU.

Pre-match USOC | New Mexico United @ New York City FC II | Tue May 21, 2024 5:30 PM MDT

Putting this up a few days before I normally post a pre-match thread in case anyone is thinking about buying tickets. I'll write something up a bit later this week. Anyone attending in person? How are plane prices?
If you know of any watch parties around the state, reply and i'll update the post.
Predictions about the match?

Guess what**?!** New Mexico is on the road again for match against Las Vegas Lights. Las Vegas has lost their last three, including a 6-0 loss to Charleston last week. This season, Las Vegas has a new look at home. Gone are the money drops and mini pools, and instead they have proper ad boards. Which brings a more serious look to their organization. Expect a serious response to their previous week's loss as well.
New Mexico also experienced a loss last week, snapping a three match win streak. Yesterday NM signed defender Abdi Mohamed, which should add some more depth in the defense area. I'm curious if the club is also looking to sign anyone to play where Nava would be?
Are you watching at home, at a watch party or on the road (shout out to all the away supporters, lose your voices!)

Another USOC campaign begins now. First up will be a match against Lubbock Matadors. From the sound of it, they are bringing a good number of away supporters. Which is awesome. Predictions?
Are you attending in person, or watching stream? What are the odds that the stadium location is called out on the stream as being Albuquerque?

After last weekend's disappointing result against Charleston Battery, New Mexico heads to Arizona to take on the 2023 USL Championship playoff champions, Phoenix Rising. Interesting enough, to win that championship match, Phoenix had to beat Charleston in penalties.
Like many USL clubs, Phoenix had some churn in the off season. Players like Danny Trejo (scored 19 goals in 2023), Manuel Arteaga (15 goals), and Carlos Harvey (6 goals) have left. Phoenix also lost much of their backline due to transfers and retirements. All these transfers predictably have resulted in a rough start to their season, with two losses and a win.
This is an opportunity for New Mexico to shake off the 4-0 loss and move forward with their season. Of course New Mexico also had loads of churn. So neither club is gelling yet. An away away in Phoenix will however be a good way to set the tone for the rest of the season.
The Referee for this match is Alexis Da Silva. Alexis has been showing yellow a lot this season with an average of 7.3 yellows per match (three matches). It is worth noting that in the 2023 season, across 24 matches he only showed a second yellow once, and never gave a straight red.
What are your predictions for this match? Are you attending in person? Are you taking the bus with other New Mexico United supporters?

New Mexico United @ Charleston Battery | Sat Mar 23, 2024 5:30 PM MDT
Welcome to the first 2024 season edition of 'SymphonicResonance forgot what day it was and almost missed posting the pre-match thread' (Went to a show on Thursday night, and my concept of time got all turned around).
Who all is attending in person? Predictions?
We seem to be spending a lot of time on the east coast this month.

SOCCER IS BACK
T-minus 24 hours (ish) from this post. Are you ready? If you have ignored posts since last season, check the roster thread to get your self updated of all the changes. Pete is flipping cooking pancakes at the pre-match tailgate, soooo FOOOOd! Remember to arrive early enough for a home opener flag.
As of right now, seats left on Seatgeek seem to indicate the potential for a packed house:
If attending, what are your plans? Are your vocal cords in good working order? Planning on starting any new match day traditions? What pre-match song are you getting pumped to?
I say again, ARE YOU READY?
SOMOS!

So we are down to only not knowing about Tambakis, Yearwood, Suggs, Wehan, and Hamilton. Though there has been chatter that Hamilton is leaving.
Same here. I think this is a case of people growing up with something, loving it. Example: I didn't grow up here, so I find Dion's Pizza kind of meh. But a significant number of my friends who grew up here think it is best pizza ever. My ideal pizza on the other hand would be Pontillo's Pizza from NY. (Bushnell's Basin specially). Though I'm sure if a Pontillos opened here, people from New Mexico would be meh about it.
Please don't tell me that Texans where trying to shoot down spy balloons (in their minds).
If you are interested in live match discussion, you can join bunch of NMU supporters online on Discord and Matrix. The match discussion channel on Discord is relaying to Matrix.
The PDF of the proposed lease has the map of proposed stadium.
Also:
Edit: One other thing, I saw a theme from the posters on other social media sites that don't support a stadium (even if it being mostly privately funded). That is along the lines of "where will the balloons launch from" or similar. The stadium will be built on the other side of some power lines where the balloons stay away from. In one of the renders, the power lines are visible:
Is this like Austin City Limits but in Albuquerque?
From IFAB:

Serious foul play
A tackle or challenge that endangers the safety of an opponent or uses excessive force or brutality must be sanctioned as serious foul play.
Any player who lunges at an opponent in challenging for the ball from the front, from the side or from behind using one or both legs, with excessive force or endangers the safety of an opponent is guilty of serious foul play.
A studs up challenge makes a tackle excessive.

Is driving out? If not, could you rent a car to get back? If so, their airport has service to Phoenix, Dallas, and Denver. Once at one of those cities, your options open up.
Additionally, this website can give you ideas with prices: https://www.rome2rio.com/map/Durango-CO-USA/Albuquerque
Edit:
Looks like there is a bus called "the Blue Bus" (North Central Regional Transit District ) that goes from Farmington to Chama. The route is called 170 JICARILLA. According to the linked to pdf, it is fare free, but I wouldn't trust that document. Give them a call to find out more: 505-629-4725 / 866-206-0754
Looking at their routes, it looks like it would be possible (depending on times) to get all the way to Edgewood. So in this case, your mission would be to get to Farmington from Durango. Then take a bus or three to the nearest Railrunner stop, hop on that and straight to Albuquerque.
I do read them. I find it really odd when higher end restaurants end up in the red.

Only Suggs remains on the Unknown list. Including the new signings, the squad is at 18. Will this squad be a small tight knit deal, or will it have some depth (to survive a long season of unknown issues).
