Dynamo Stadium Episode II: The Stadium Takes Shape

One major difference. This time it'll be right before the game starts.

 

It might even start in the parking lot.

 

Is that a goal frame on the webcam?!

 

I hope they called Ching in to christen it before anybody else takes a shot.

 

I guess there are tickets still available. (As we knew there were).

I'll be there for the "first look" at least.

 

Hell, yeah!
Let's kick the ball... and get it on....
sorry... flash back...

 

I hope they canned that bugger.

 

Seriously... that guy willput a damper on the festivities if I hear his voice when I take my seat on opening day.

 

In case you didn't see the Andrew Luck interview with Jimmy Conrad, http://m.mlssoccer.com/blog/post/20...out-about-his-love-soccer-houston-and-dempsey, he said he and his entire family is trying to get back here for the opening. That would be fantastic.

I also like the way that most of Andrew's answers are "the Houston Dynamo."

 

I liked Andrew back in High school-like him even more after the interview.

Jimmy Conrad-"I called that game (06 MLS Cup)."

You also cut me in the tailgate line, hoser.

 

How early do you guys think I would have to be there in order to get me some extra tickets for my bro and father? I work downtown about 5 minutes from there and its a super deal for me, instead of just buying the tickets for about 55 each plus tax and fees (stubhub) I can get me my third jersey among other things and get the tix for free!! Sweet!

 

Id show up around 9am just to be sure

 

Realistically? 2PM should do it.

However, all of my estimates are based on the Robertson era of hype...hell with Robertson hype you could get there at 4:30PM lol

 

Robertson era I could get there 5:30pm and still win a Prize! But now its all different! Our OWN TEAM STORE! No more taco trailer S4A!! LOL I will be there probably 130pm (just to make sure).

 

You could go 10 minutes after the event ended and they're already packing, and you'll still win the prize! lol

I'm going to miss Robertson-era stuff :/

 

Ok, my friend that is working at the stadium finally got back to me on the beer prices. He says domestic beer is $8.50, premium is 9.50 and imported is 10.00. He didn't get the brands, though, and I'm not sure if thats stadium-wide. He did warn me that the prices seemed high to him. They seem high to me, since I was a beer vendor for the Texas Rangers in the 80s and I sold "ice cold Coors, Schlitz and Lone Star" for 75 cents a bottle.

 

I remember talking to the tour guide while touring the stadium and saying how we had 10-15 beers locked up or something.

Using that information...I'm guessing

Domestic
Budweiser
Bud Light
Miller Light
<other>

Premium
Shiner
Saint Arnold's
Bombshell Blonde
<other>

Imported
Corona
Guinness
Heineken
<other>

 

$10.00 for a six-pack of St. Arnolds? That's not too bad!

 

Anyone have 2 seats to Galaxy? hah was talking to some guy at boheme last night who said there are 500 left...now they are gone, damn.

 

The size of the cup/bottle needs to be considered as well, although I doubt these are 40 ounce servings (hey why isn't Old English 800 on the menu).

These do seem high though. Once again, for all who may complain, this is a byproduct of the new stadium. I can say with certainty my investment upfront in this 2012 season for parking and tickets far exceeds 2011 - and we haven't had a home game yet.

Stadium will be nicer, etc., but is it going to be worth the extra cost at the end of the season to everyone? Will it be 3x as much fun?

 

Three times? Yea, I do think it would be 3 times as much fun, but so far the highest cost increase was the 2x for parking, but that could be avoided by using other lots. Nothing else that i know about has gone much at all.

 

Chicago had 16oz Coronas for $10. Figuring that'll be the same at our stadium.

Now we know where to find you.

Hell yea it is.

 

I may crash into him into him in the lot and not realize it. One day he will realize our offers are.genuine.

 

I don't know where to post this but who wants a ticket to the opening game? I just got one extra ticket. PM if you want it and we could work out a deal
