SAN JOSE, Calif. (KRON) — The San Jose Earthquakes are nearing the end of their season, just a few wins away from potentially securing a spot in the MLS playoffs.

The Earthquakes need a combination of victories and losses from other teams to improve their playoff chances, but they remain hopeful.

Seismic Union is a passionate group of San Jose Earthquakes fans who never miss a game, home or away. They are known for their vibrant presence, complete with drums, luchador masks, and banners.

Crystal Cuadra Cutler, the president of Seismic Union, describes the group as a collection of super fans who have been supporting the team for the last five years. The union is composed of several smaller fan groups, including Casbah and Epicentro 74, which bring together fans from various cultural backgrounds.

Despite the Earthquakes having the worst record in MLS last year, Seismic Union continued to support the team through thick and thin, making every hard-earned goal sweeter.

As the Earthquakes push for a playoff spot, the unwavering support of Seismic Union provides them with a home advantage, no matter where they play. “If the Quakes are playing, we’re there,” said a devoted fan, emphasizing the group’s commitment to the team.
