You've seen the huge banner at RFK or on TV. You've watched us tailgate in Lot 8. You've heard about our legendary road trips. Well, there's no need to continue standing on the sidelines. We know you're ready to play and we're waving you in!
WHO WE ARE:
Screaming Eagles, Inc. is an all-volunteer army of soccer fans committed to supporting D.C. United in the stands of RFK, on the road and in the community (all while having as much fun as possible!) Membership in the club is open to EVERYONE who wants to promote soccer and support D.C. United.
Our activities include: tailgates at home games, roadtrips, Screaming Eagles Football teams in area leagues, participation in community events such as Race For the Cure and, special events like our annual Capitol Soccer Ball and our own SE member Meet the Team Day.
We also have our own section at RFK (133-134 and part of 132) for folks who want a standing and cheering experience on game day (although many of our members sit all over RFK). The Screaming Eagles control the ticket sales for these sections so we're able to offer considerable discounts on season plans and day of game tickets.
WHAT'S NEW IN 2004
D.C. United is not the only group that has experienced exciting changes in the off-season. The Screaming Eagles have formally incorporated in the District of Columbia and we are in the process of finalizing our tax-exempt status with the IRS. The other big change is that founder and president Matt Mathai has retired from the leadership of the Screaming Eagles. Matt founded the club on the Internet in 1995, and it has grown to be one of the largest and most recognized supporters' clubs in Major League Soccer.
Other changes for the 2004-2005 year include new membership levels. The rate for individuals 21 years of age or older will now be $20. The rate for individuals 20 years of age and under will now be $5. All Screaming Eagles members will get the same benefits of membership at these two rates, (with the understanding that those who are not of legal drinking age cannot drink alcohol at any SE events).
