Living in the Red: The Chicago Fire Soccer Team Fan Base, Section 8 from Heather Eidson on Vimeo.
Monday's have kinda becoming "supporters' day" at FBM HQ and so it's with great pleasure we present this documentary short about an American supporters group, Chicago Fire's Section 8.
The FBM can trace its origins back to Wisconsin and in our youth we took in many Fire matches. Father's Day 2002 was our first live soccer match and the legend was born. While we're officially Major League Soccer neutral, the Fire has a nice little place in our soccer heart.
Nice to see filmmakers turn their cameras to such a fascinating aspect as supporters culture in the United States. We've been fascinated by it for sometime as one of the crucial components to the successful "selling" of the sport to casual fans. This short flick does a great job of highlighting those reasons.
Enjoy.

"The FBM can trace its origins back to Wisconsin and in our youth we took in many Fire matches." Seems like Wisconsin has a huge Fire fanbase. Would love to see a team north of Bridgeview!
