Living in the Red: The Chicago Fire Soccer Team Fan Base, Section 8 from Heather Eidson on Vimeo.
Monday's have kinda becoming "supporters' day" at FBM HQ and so it's with great pleasure we present this documentary short about an American supporters group, Chicago Fire's Section 8.
The FBM can trace its origins back to Wisconsin and in our youth we took in many Fire matches.

If you're a long-time or recent follower of the Free Beer Movement, you've probably noticed that we take a pretty keen interest in the supporters of Major League Soccer teams. When it comes down to it, the action on the field is what is it... the teams change, the scores differ, and the players come and go, but what remains a constant is the passion and the intensity of the supporters in the stands.

After a brief interruption in our weekly series we return to our coverage of American soccer culture with our series "Better Know a Supporters Group," just like Steven Colbert's "Better Know a District" from "The Colbert Report".
