The 2014 Chicago Fire season was the club's 16th year of existence, as well as their 17th season in Major League Soccer and their 17th consecutive year in the top-flight of American soccer.
Chicago Fire began the regular season on March 9, 2014, with an away match against Chivas USA. The Men in Red concluded the regular season on October 24, 2014, with a home match against Houston Dynamo. Chicago finished the season with a 6–10–18 record and missed the playoffs for the fourth time in the past five seasons. With 18 drawn matches, the Fire set a new MLS record for most ties in a season, beating the previous record of 16 ties set in 2011 by Chicago Fire and New York Red Bulls.[1]
After 12 years with the team, midfielder Logan Pause retired at the end of the season. Pause spent all of his professional career playing for Chicago Fire.[2][3][4] On November 3, 2014, he was named Vice President of the Chicago Fire Soccer Club.[5]
