    Seriously though, if the US doesn't make the final, they better remove all sharp objects from the Rose Bowl vicinity for my own personal safety.

    Try to make your way to the US supporters, it's not worth getting singled out by hundreds of the opposing fans, whoever it be. At least near the US supporters, I'd imagine they'd have extra security in case a big altercation broke out.

    I'd still go to LA but I'd probably sell the ticket to the game. I wouldn't be able enjoy it if the US were to go down.

    I know this isn't the thread for it, but if the US doesn't make it to the final, something needs to be done about the coaching immediately.

    Booked my flight for this. The Bride and I are making our first trip to LA ever. Hey if we don't make it I'll catch a Dodger/Angels game when we're out there.

    I am also making the trek from Boston for the final. Hopefully a US final and then the next day flying up to Seattle to see the Revs play the Sounders. Should be fun week.

    Not a bad idea, if I make the trip, I just may do the same (I'm pretty flexible, as I have family in Orange County).

    Most companies will do so for an extra fee. Otherwise, try the cheaper companies like Thrifty, Rentawreck etc. I'm pretty sure I rented from Hertz several years ago when I was under 25.

    Re: Gold Cup Final

    Yeah, I saw the extra fee thing. If I cant find anything with a straight rate (like as the places you suggested) then I have no problem paying a bit extra. Just as long as I have a way to get around.

    Nah it's not just for the game. I'm heading down to Long Beach to see a friend and I also wanna go to Venice, Santa Monica and Hollywood. I only visited LA for day trips when I was at UNLV, so when I'm there I wanna go and do some of the sight seeing that I missed.

    Re: Gold Cup Final

    Sigh. With the price of flights at this point, I'm becoming more and more uncertain about my ability to make this trip happen. I'm hoping a miracle occurs and the prices go down a bit but if not, I may have to settle for the GC quarterfinals at RFK.

    you could fly somewhere cheaper, say PHX or Tucson, and then take the Amtrax train the rest of the way

    Re: Gold Cup Final

    So what's the deal with this seeing as it is a CONCACAF game and not an official US Game. Will they give us a supporters section? Will we be able to bring in big flags and banners? Will we even have a section?

    In your post? I don't know about flags and banners, but we do have a section. Unless a bunch of Mexicans went in and bought STAND tickets just to piss us off.
