Hello Colorado Rapids fans. This week on Holding The High Line, we've got some USL news. Rabbi and Red banter about the MLS Cup Playoffs and we acknowledge the election.

The we talk all things USL in Colorado. Northern Colorado Hailstorm have been kicked out of USL League One. There's a bunch of rumblings about construction delays for their stadium, the financing behind ownership, and the USL not paying them for their Jägermeister Cup win. We discuss everything that's been reported publicly and what it means.

Then we give some props to Colorado Springs Switchbacks. They are hosting the USL Championship Final on Saturday. Matt discusses covering the Western Conference Final against Vegas. They've built something great in the Springs as well. Oh, and first-year manager James Chambers (Chambo) absolutely roasted Red in post game media.

Then we discuss how Colorado Rapids have done with fans since the walkout in September 2023. How much of this just comes down to the on field product? What's Chris Armas done to endear himself with the fanbase? What might happen at DICK's this winter? What else do we need to see from ownership?

Also, here's Rabbi's latest edition of Back Pass, breaking down the 2024 Rapids by the numbers.
