My little girl was disappointed
by NewToBayFC on 4/16/25PayPal Park - San JoseRating: 2 out of 5My 7-year-old daughter plays on a comp team and absolutely loves soccer! We’ve been to several San Jose Earthquakes games, and she’s had great experiences meeting players after the matches — they’ve always been friendly, kind, and willing to engage with fans.
We were excited to have a similar experience with our local women’s professional team, Bay FC. Unfortunately, we left the game very disappointed. Most of the players walked straight to their cars after the game without even acknowledging the fans — not a wave, not a glance. Only three players took the time to come over, take photos, sign autographs, and thank us for supporting them.
My daughter was heartbroken, and honestly, so was I. After this experience, I don’t feel encouraged to spend money on Bay FC games. If you want to build a loyal fan base, especially among young girls who look up to these athletes, a little interaction goes a long way. We’ll continue going to Earthquakes games for now — they’ve consistently made us feel valued as fans.
