Help picking where to sit for a game
New fan as of last year, I plan to go to a game this year. If I'm bringing my fiancé who is not a huge fan of soccer, where is the best place to sit without it being to rowdy but still a good time?

"my fiancé who is not a huge fan of soccer..."
They will be after this game 😉.
You guys will have fun. It's a great atmosphere, even for non-soccer fans.

Screw this. Live a little. Go to the supporter section. Unleash all the rage you have pent up from everyday life and call the referee a cunt. Scream. Learn the songs and sing. No need to be proper. Just avoid all the isms in your speech and fucking let it fly.

OP has the perfect plan, tbh.
Fiance goes, has fun, witnesses the crazy while sitting in the calm. Wakes up a little demon inside. They go again, a few times, still family section, but every time they notice the supporters section having way more fun.
Finally, one day...they ask...supporters section or bust.

I don't mind the rowdiness at all and this sounds like the more fun option. I just don't want her to be miserable while I'm having fun cheering on the team

Honestly, go with a group of friends and fiance. Go early and get a few drinks before and do the walk. And then sit in the supporter section. If she's super shy and not social then it will be way worse if you're not going with a group.

I feel that for people not "into" soccer, the supporters sections is the better choice. It is much more entertaining and fun, even if you don't know the rules of the game.

Definitely march from New Dodge Lounge if y’all can! When I took my kids to their first game we sat in Rouge and the very next match they were begging to sit with the supporters. Drums, smoke, hilarity. Awesome time. No matter what you choose welcome home!!!! 💛⚜️♥️ DCTID

Anything not in the "supporters section" is where you'll want to be. So, Gold, Rouge, Family or Roosevelt Corner.

The supporters section gets stupid quick. All of the most unathletic people who have probably never played the sport are the loudest. They spend the entire game criticizing every call the refs make, and anything the other team does. If you want to actually watch the game, the best spots are anywhere else. The chanting throughout the entirety of the game with no breaks takes away a lot from the actual gameplay. I understand wanting to come and get rowdy, but it does not seem like a good portion of the supporters care about paying attention to the gameplay as much as they want to scream and swear at anyone or anything they view as opposition. I’ve heard it said before, the northern guard loves hating on other teams more than they like the Detroit city team. Ymmv. I hope you guys enjoy the game.

if you don't want rowdiness i'd recommend the family section (side of the pitch with the press box). if your fiance is cool with the chants and swearing and smoke or if they want to go all in on the action and experience of a dcfc game then the supporter side would be your place.
