im getting as many people as I can possibly find and bringing them. College ballers, Semi-Pros, High School buddies, Ex Girlfriends, and kids who don't even know what soccer is. THIS IS GOING TO BE AWESOME! Will there be a supporters section, because i need to put all of these people in there.
Sad, but true. We are planning on bringing this up with the front office when we meet with them on Thursday (supporter's summit) with the possibility of getting them to switch the game to Sunday. But with a home game on a holiday weekend, attendance is gonna suck to begin with. Keeping in on Saturday will make it that much worse.
Obviously going to Philly to cheer on Taylor Twellman as our last minute fill-in starting striker along with the rest of the USMNT.
Kyle, I know where you're going with this, but I thinks it's dfair to say that the NE and NY contingents will definitely be in Hartford. But with another game so relatively close by, and being the actual sendoff match (with a lot of supporters unable to go to South Africa), both fanbases will ultimately want to go to Philly over the other match.
I will have a group flying out from California for this one, and most likely the game against the Czechs as well. To the supporters in Philly: if you guys want any help setting anything up let me know. Chase SCB
The New AO Philly Chapter will be working in conjunction with the Sons of Ben for a rip roaring good time
Will be buying supporters tickets (6 if not more) I converted a person last year in Philly I plan to convert many more. Anyone that lives in the region, start calling your friends and tell them to come. Call up newspapers, radio shows maybe on May 1 and begin going on the offensive to get people there. Nothing would beat 60,000 USA fans there. Let's send off the boys in style!
I plan on bringing 10-15 people, but we definately want supporters section tickets. Any information on how to get tickets for us? And how about a tailgate? Also...any ideas as to where the Czech match will be? I'd love to see one in Hartford!
Will AO have a cap on tickets or will USSF let them fill up an end for once? Also, can we open up an entire stadium for once, it seems they've capped tickets to the club level.
I am coming from Chicago for this one and bringing the girlfriend. I will be checking this thread frequently for updates on tailgate information and pre-party bars. -Chris
do you think that AO would fill up an entire end if it were made available? i think the US caps tickets on the supporters sections so it can be for people interested in the atmosphere of a supporters section only. capping tickets, IMHO, is a smart move to segregate the people wanting standing, singing for 90 minutes from the other fans.
I have a feeling this is going to be HUGE. I already have 3 people who have never been to a game rolling. A few more are interested.
