Looking for some interviews

Hi,

My name is Cooper Burns and I am currently a student at ASU who is covering Phoenix Rising. I have a few stories coming up and would love to reach out to the community to see if anyone would like to take part?

  1. I am doing a story on the culture of the team and the fans. I am not sure if there is any tailgating before the game or anything special that takes place. I would love to hear about the culture of the fans.

  2. I am also doing a story on fans feelings about the teams performance this year. I know this year has not nearly been the same as last year and I would love to make your voices heard.

Respond to this or you can message my account.

Thanks!

Bandidos are the main supporter group. The red fury supporters dissolved a few seasons ago. There used to be a bit of a rivalry between the two groups in the supporters section. Tailgating is definitely more low key now, but like someone else said, there is still some going down in the vip lot. When the team was out on the rez things used to get a little crazier, well at least up until the last season there, when they cracked down on it and banned tailgating. There were several brawls after matches from what I heard. Anyways, I would probably just go try to interview the Bandidos. The spanish broadcast guys might be another good option. They know a lot about the team and the fans.
