    I am going to Houston for the stadium opener, I know that a few folks are going but I don't know who they are exactly...

    Is anybody surfing here going? Any "soccer mental-ill" like me who'd like to see also a PDL game after the Dynamo-DC game? (same day, 7:30pm in the Woodlands, some 30~40 min north of the city)

    We can also talk about sharing expenses, if interested... Either post here or PM if you wish

    The SG's have organized something but I don't think they routinely post here anymore. You'd have to contact them I know the SE and Barra got together to buy a bunch of tickets.

    SOME of us can't afford to just up and travel at the moment, so way to rub it in. :D One day...

    Many of us that are going to Houston next weekend were jetting back from Toronto/Buffalo yesterday late in earlier evening. There will be approximatel group of about 40-50 at the match next Saturday. Many of the usual roadtrip crew will be there: Mark, Jay, Pauly, Jimmy, etc in addition to DC supporters that have moved to Texas (Gina and Matt). For questions about this trip contact Jay Igiel aka Victory via email at jigiel@nealon.com.

    I'm going. Getting into IAH before noon and renting a car to go find stadium. I'm flying out early Sunday morning (520 am) so my "hotel room" will be whatever I can get at a discount from National Car Rental.

    Can't be too hard to find. Here it is on Google. Man, and I thought RFK needed work. :D

    Thanks for the replies, I'll be right downtown at a decently inexpensive place called Club Quarters, it's a 10 (Houston) blocks or so from the stadium... Anybody else staying in the downtown area?

    Jay, Pauly, and I are staying at Inn at the Ballpark. Some others will also be staying there also.

    Hi guys,

    I'm the editor of The Overtime Page, we will be covering the match. I'd like to interview fans flying in to catch the game. Send me a private message or shoot me an email at kumana@theovertimepage.com if you're interested.

    Thanks,
    Katy

    We're sending down just the right kind of media whores for you :D

    Whether they'll be organized/sober enough to remember to do it, that's a whole 'nother question :cool:

    I'm sure I'll have no problem finding them then. I've dealt with my fair share of drunken supporters/fans/etc. :D

    Uh-oh. You know these are mostly gonna be Barra people, right? My advice to you is to remove your staff pics from your website first, else you may have a surplus of overly willing yet wholly inappropriate interviewees.

    Are there still visiting support tickets available? Anyone know how to get them? My girlfriend and I would love to come down from Austin.

    If they don't have any left, and you don't mind being surrounded by Dynamo fans, I may know someone that's selling tickets. Just let me know and I can pass his contact info on to you.

    Last I checked stubhub had over 1000 tickets available for the match. If you go that route, I think we could squeeze you into were will be standing in the upper deck.

    We look forward to seeing you guys at our stadium opening. What section are they putting you in? None of us really know where the official "away supporters" section is yet.
