To the Utah Royals FC fans and the Salt Lake City Community,
Right now it seems as if there are no words and there is nothing I could say that will ease the hurt you are feeling. I know because I have felt it too. But I would be remiss if I did not take the time to share how much you all have meant to me, my family, and this team.
In 2018, when my family and I arrived in Utah, we were unsure of what it would bring. We were optimistic and hopeful, but we could not predict just how much we would come to love it, and that is in large part to you -- the fans.
Three years later, I never imagined I would have to say goodbye. Getting to play in front of our fans at the RioT is one of the greatest honors of my life. Looking up into the stands filled with your smiling faces every week filled me with immense pride and being a part of the Salt Lake City community is a gift I can never repay. There are not enough words to express my gratitude for the support you have given us.
Since day one you have embraced us with open arms and made us feel a part of this community. Despite our shortcomings, you have stood proudly by our side and in triumph and failure, and you always cheered.
Please know that we see you, we know how lucky we were to play for you and we will miss you more than you could ever know.
As we enter into this new chapter of our lives, we will carry with us the royalty you bestowed upon us. Utah will always be Royal!
Thank you!
Your Captain,
Amy Rodriguez
