It feels like a time of unprecedented excitement and growth for the Greenville Triumph. With so many recent headlines, I spoke with Vice Chairman + Chief Brand Officer Doug Erwin about the impact of each story on the future of soccer in Greenville.
He’s already in the record books as the youngest player in Triumph history.

“We’re passionate about getting getting out the community with our staff with our players. I would say this Make-a-Wish project is probably the coolest thing we’ve ever done. Just being humbled and that someone wanted their wish to be with the Greenville Triumph is so cool.”
Erwin wants Kamden’s debut game to be the biggest crowd in Triumph history. It’s today, March 29. Get your tickets.

Goodbye, Bistro Shrimp Pasta. If you’re headed to the Cheesecake Factory this weekend, be aware that the chain is removing 13 menu items (and adding 23 more). Maybe consider this seasonal seafood pasta dish from Jianna. (USA Today)
Number
$16.85. That’s the average cost of a large cheese pizza in Greenville based on a national pizza study conducted by Clever. Luckily, Greenville has many pizzerias that are worth the dough, and our options go way beyond just cheese.

This gorgeous plush throw blanket that’s marked down by 73% for Amazon’s Big Spring Sale. We love its ultra-soft faux fur texture and three-dimensional rhombic cable knit design.
I hope to see you at tonight’s Triumph game. I’ve been following Kamden’s journey since the day he was signed, and it’s been one of the most fun stories to cover in my three years as a City Editor. He has a pretty sweet celebration dance planned when he scores his first goal. You don’t want to miss it.
