Is anyone traveling to Las Vegas for tomorrow's game? Is there any specific section for Sacramento fans?

In light of the recent twitter drama with Nagle and Carmichael Dave, I have questions following Dave's comments claiming the following:

1. Republic were on the brink of bankruptcy when Nagle bought the team and bailed them out of debt
2. Nagle is funding the team to the tune of 7 figures annually; or, from another angle, Republic are operating at a 7 figure annual deficit.

The following questions are operating under the assumption that Dave's comments are generally accurate, though I acknowledge that billionaire sports owners lying about the money situations of their teams is a time honored tradition:

1. Why is a team that continually leads USL in attendance operating at such a massive deficit? I presume the answer must be that we don't own our own stadium, but based on my research, very few USL teams (Pittsburgh, Phoenix, Louisville, and maybe Colorado?) own their own stadiums. Do most USL teams get run at a pretty significant loss? If yes, what does that say about the sustainability of the league as a whole?
2. What is ownership's goal? If the status quo at the USL level is to lose a ton of money, that would imply that Nagle would want to either secure MLS (lol ain't happening) or increase the team's value so that he can sell the team at a profit later to recoup his losses. Would ownership be happy, willing, and able to build a stable foundation for success in Sacramento at the USL level?
3. If this team is as expensive as it is (and FWIW I do think that Republic has maybe the best roster in the western conference) then what explains the team's drastic underperformance this year generally and down the stretch particularly? Surely this roster wasn't so dependent upon the health of a 37 year old midfielder coming back from a major knee injury?

On one hand, if true I'm grateful that Nagle has kept Republic afloat. On the other hand, if this is an accurate portrait of the books, then this team could easily fold if/when Nagle gets bored or decides he doesn't want to fund the Republic anymore. And considering that his other investment, Huddersfield, is likely to be an even BIGGER money loser after getting relegated last year, this makes me much more concerned about the long term health of SRFC than I was mere months ago when they appeared to be the picture of USL stability.

A couple of the tweets in question:

Bought World Series tickets last minute so wont be at the game tonight.

Free to whoever wants them

Does anyone know the bike path well enough? We are still new to it. Can we ride our bikes from Land Park to Heart Health Park tonight? Does it feel safe enough after the game? We will be riding with our kids.

Saw him biking in midtown this evening so hoping he’s on our starting XI Saturday.

Did also yell that I love him and good luck as he biked by 😅

I still remember the euphoria I had that day when I went to this event and thought our city would finally be big enough to be considered a 2 pro team town…now here we are 5 years later and nothing has changed. I’m sad that we aren’t Kevin Nagle’s new shiny toy like across the pond where he has a weekly fireside chat with the latest news and development while we get fuck all. Look I am HAPPY to be in the USL but the stadium is 5 years past its expectancy with no new stadium in sight… sigh I love my Republic and it’s players but how long will they string us along and stay the course of silence and complacency?

A poster in last night’s match thread said that the vibes around the club are awful right now. That’s exactly right. The vibes are almost worse than when the MLS deal fell through. At least then there was communication from ownership and some notion that there was a plan B for a strong USL future.

This season has been frustrating, but even worse…boring. This club is boring for the first time since I started following them 7 years ago. I’m a full STH. There have been 3 or so home games this year where I’ve just not been motivated to trek down to Cal Expo and watch a lackluster performance. I don’t feel the need to sit in the heat, wait in line at the food trucks, pay exorbitant prices for concessions, and deal with portable toilets to watch the club half-ass things both on and off the field.

It appears to me that ownership have not been able to (or are disinterested in) pivot the club from being an MLS investment vehicle to being a cornerstone of the USLC, taking advantage of all of the growth happening in the league. I’d like to hear from ownership- what’s the vision for the club now? What is the value proposition for the continued support of the fans?
