The MLS Cup badge is back

on December 1st, 2012

The 2012 edition of the MLS Cup kicks off this afternoon, and once again, fans can unlock a Foursquare badge for attending.

This year’s badge has been modified slightly and turned in to an expertise badge, so fans making their second trip to the MLS Cup (which I expect will be quite high, since the same two teams are playing) will “level up” to the 2x edition of the badge.

Fans simply need to follow MLS and check in at Home Depot Center for the match. The unlock text reads:

Wave those scarves and beat those drums! You’ve made it out for the big game. Who will raise the cup after 90 minutes of play – the LA Galaxy or the Houston Dynamo?

The MLS is one of the most prolific Foursquare badge partners. In addition to the MLS Cup badge, they’ve offered a general badge for checking in at games, as well as team-specific badges for every team in the league.

    Slightly strange that they’re doing this, when it seemed to me like the MLS completely lost interest in Foursquare around August. I checked in twice after that at FC Dallas Stadium and received NO badges, but I did get badges in Houston in June. Some attention to consistency would be nice.

      That was punishment for some horrid merge requests you made. And who knows what else you did to perfectly good venues.

    I wonder why they won’t let people watching matches and shouting get the badge too ~pouting~

    Disappointed. Check into two Home Depot places, no badge. Is Home Depot Center something different?

  • Eric Stumpf

    Okay, I got it. Home Depot Center is the stadium, in California. Just ducky for Californians.
