8/17 US v T&T US Supporter Info

i would be up for anything. i'll have to get an estimate from my team and their families. at the el salvador game we were about 40. i'd guess less than that because during the week. i'll know within the next 3 weeks

 

give me about 3 weeks to figure a guesstimate number. will prices be around 30$ for a ticket(if you know) in the usual section so i can give a number. i'll defintely ask for your help.

 

once again looking forward to the whole process going as smoothly as before. one player and his mom already emailed me and said they are in. i mentioned the bus trip and 30 minutes later they wanted in. love when our passion translate into passion for our younger boys and girls. can't wait until august in hartford and already booked flight and hotel for columbus in september. i'll let you know in 3 weeks a number

 

Does anyone know how far it is from Hartford's bus (or Amtrak station if it has one) to the stadium? I'm seriously considering breaking out the red shirt, taking the short trip from NYC and finally joining you guys at a game (though it will have to be on gameday, I'm still a little broke).

 

We have a bus/Amtrak stadium downtown. It's about 2 miles away, so you can take public transportation (I'll put up the info soon) to the stadium. If all goes through, we might have some pre-game activity downtown a couple blocks from the station. You might want to check on when the last bus leaves Hartford back to NY though. When I go to New York, I usually drive to New Haven so I can catch Metro North, since we don't have that yet.

 

Thanks for the info. I'll definitely check the bus and train schedule. I hope to be there live and in red.

 

I will definately be interested in the bus trip from Boston, since I move to Boston next week





if not, I will bring a car full and see everyone there

 

If I do recall, this was a very packed supporter's section... hmmmm.

 

It was the most fun i have had at a US game in years at foxboro. It's great to see that many people who are so enthusiastic about the game be in the same area. This is a horrible blow. I had a group of 30 people for $600 at foxboro and now the same group would pay 1050. not as many are fanatics like myself and they have families and probably will not go. that extra 450 was great for a worldclass tailgate. This is real dissappointing.

 

Just FYI, Q Exp, the area around the Hartford Amtrak/bus station is not someplace you want to be wandering around at night, especially if you're pigmentally challenged.

 

The area around the train station is where all the suburban kids go to drink at night.. I don't know what would make you say that. Across from the station are a bunch of sports and rock bars, and a cheesy nightclub. If you feel unsafe there, walk across the street and go sing some karaoke (which is huge on Wednesday nights at Mad Dawg's.. not my thing but I happened by one night). On a Wednesday night that area will have college students and other people walking around and be safe for the most part. But be smart like in any city.


Stay on Asylum Street, Allyn Street, Ann Street, Union Place, Trumbull Street, Pratt Street, or Main Street and I can't see much trouble happening.

 

I could be wrong.. but I'd get a second opinion on that. MSG isn't the most honest organization in the world. Far from it.

 

Can one walk to the stadium from Holiday Inn East Hartford and back again without fear for one's life? A mile is nothing--unless it's a mile of burnt-out crack houses.

This is my impolitic way of saying I'll be up for some serious imbibing that day and you can block off the street for me, too.

 

Between that hotel and the stadium is a huge bridge over a highway, the end of a very large airplane engine plant, and a couple houses. But the streets are full of traffic. No crackhouses that I recall. So it would be a boring but safe walk.

 

No crack houses???? Count me out!

 

the Union Station area is fine. The nighclubs and some restaurants are all around it. all you have to really deal with is drunks getting out at closing time. otherwise i think it's fine. i eat downtown all the time and go to the sports & irish bars. no problems. let's party on pratt before. Vaughn's anyone?

 

I've got my tix! I'll be all ready to party starting around 6am!

Just let me know where we need to be!

 

i did not get my tickets, apparantly ticketmaster is telling me the password US Soccer emailed me is not in their system, looks like I cannot order them until the 11th, just in time for section 109 to be too full for me to sit in, I ********ing hate Ticketmaster, I wish they were on sale through someone else.....

 

Ticketmaster was havign problems earlier. I had called them and they said they were working on a solution. I tried a little while ago and it worked, so give it another try.
