The rain aside--we cannot control that--City came away with the hoped for win in Haaland's debut, and that was all I really needed to be satisfied.
That said, let's figure out a way to inform ticketholders was in advance of prepaid parking and other arrangements. It was chaos on gameday with 100s of spectators still looping around Lambeau trying to figure out what to do. On Packers gameday, parking is super slick and much less chaotic.
During the match, PA announcements were garbled and impossible to follow. Choruses of "What did he say?" followed over and over--whether it was for the weather or a play on the field. Thank goodness for the big board to tell us we needed to evacuate.
If you host again, engage with the 2 teams' fan bases more proactively! Never once did the music for City classics like "Blue Moon" get potted up. You could easily do this for both teams equitably. Create the full UEFA atmosphere!
Lastly, let's get some control, ushers. Two rain delays led to two tense moments with non-compliant (and appeared to be very drunk fans) had poached our lower bowl seats as if we'd left for good. Come out of the stairwells and into the bleachers and fix the situation instead of leaving it to who's loudest and boldest.
