UPROAR
The Uproar are a group of soccer-loving people who are striving to create an exciting supporters group culture in, outside, and beyond the stadium. If you’ve been looking for friends who share your passion for the NC Courage, you’ll find them with The Uproar.
Over the course of the 2019 NC Courage Season, Dave Warner and Patrick Sloan realized an opportunity existed to ignite better energy and enthusiasm in the south grandstands of Sahlen’ Stadium through chants and music. A supporters group was formed primarily to provide a specific outlet for rhythms and singing and planted in section 207 as The Nameless supporters group on June 13, 2019.
The group grew in size rapidly to 30-40 members in the first two weeks, and after a number of ideas were tossed around in group discussion, the group debuted on July 4th weekend as The Uproar. The concept continued to gather traction and provided marquee noise support at the Women’s International Champions Cup and the NWSL Championship Semifinal and Final events.
