Well, thanks to my kid's soccer team, an extra 50 tickets were sold. OK, 49 actually--I already have season tix.

A little plug--the U-8 "MCSA Celtic" who'll be scrimmaging at halftime is my kid's team.

But sorry, no, I don't know anything. Hopefully it will be a good turnout. We want a big turnout to see the the debut of Red Bull: The Futility Goes On.

Speaking as a fan, I really like it when little tykes play during halftime and some kid makes a great tackle.

Yeah I know that's barbaric, but I'm just being honest here. :)

Do our 7 year-olds play with a beer logo on the front of their jerseys? Damn straight they do.

Under normal circumstances, it is for me as well. I bought a drum for the last game of the season last year, and I've made some modifications over the off-season so it's a little easier to use.

Well hope your kid and his mates do well out there...make sure United has a scout out at half time, or we might miss the next Freddy....?

I read somewhere that Moo Jersey sold 750 tix for Sunday, which is shocking as that would match their largest Giants Stadium crowd of last year.

And I was told yesterday that over 15K tix had been sold. Sections of the upper deck have been opened, as well.

I love the little tykes soccer. I've missed the beer line to watch it a few times. Now that's sayin' somethin'.

MSI is having their sportmanship award day this Sunday at the game. So, there are going to be a lot of kids. I got an email from a DCU rep and he says they are expecting over 20,000.

I'm with you, Kelly. Especially when the "iron-filings-attracted-to-ball" teams go up against ones with some idea of spacing and passing. It's all good.

Back on topic: I'm bringing 20 folks. 5 or so are newbies. My ticket rep told me three weeks ago when I ordered that "sales are going briskly."

They will be in Sections 313, 314, and (gasp!) my beloved 315- the section where I saw my last RFK Redskins game , and also where I had my tickets for the first five DCU seasons.

I actually had a ticket there for the opener, but when I heard the scum were infesting it, I had to move - bastiches !
