Probably a good idea we solidify a plan for a Tuesday night meet up for all the US Supporters to meet up in Mexico City the night before the game.

Somewhere in the main Mex thread someone mentioned Yuppies Sports Cafe which although I'm personally not mad on the place, is a good idea because it's in the Zona Rosa (sorry Zocalocos) where most people are staying and again a lot of people know it from previous excursions plus it's a decent size to accomodate us all.

Let's say 8pm Tuesday night. The address is:

Yuppie's Sport Café Sports Bar,
Génova 34
Zona Rosa
Tel: 5208-2267

Wouldn't be a bad idea if someone who speaks decent Spanish gives them a bell with a heads up to expect a large group that night - any volunteers?

If anyone who knows the city has any better suggestions please post them here but at least we have a plan if nothing better materializes.

See ya there.

While I have no idea about the place (and would prefer to not be associated with an establishment called "Yuppies"), it's probably a good idea to just stick with the plan and have the meet-up there. I read it on TIAS and a few other sites, so it should be a good turnout.

Just over two weeks...

I'm with ya trust me. Anyone with any alternatives?

Last time we ended up in a trendy bar across town called Lips, but, it's more of a trendy fashion kinda place; lots of leather sofas and martinis, etc. Not sure how we ended up there, but, they had a DJ playing New Order, so, I didn't mind.

Yuppies was okay as a place to hang and watch other games on the day (we spent part of that Saturday with some Dutch fans watching Euro games back in '05), but, there are surely cooler places to be. Hopefully someone local can nail a spot down for us to migrate to after we meet up there. If not, Yuppies is an okay back up, but, yeah, it reminds you more of being in Phoenix than Mexico City.

Anyone know any of these joints?

I'll be getting there at 9am on Tuesday and I'm staying at Hotel Del Principado in Zona Rosa so I'll have some time to scope out things...people really should join the Facebook group(Azteca Trip 2009) so we can exchange numbers and stuff....Almost all of us are traveling in groups so telling one person where someone is going will tell a lot of people.
