    Time apparently doesn't matter. I faxed mine in on Sunday or so, so they would have gotten it on Monday morning. Ended up with row 3, section 137.

    FWIW, I believe each section has 485 seats.

    Not sure where the Screaming Eagles are, but I know they bought a big block of tickets from the USSF in one of the Sammers sections.

    Well considering its general admission, there should be no problem at all. Also considering the entire north end will likely turn out to be sams army, I don;t think you have anything to worry about. Just get in the stadium early and you';; sit near the bottom with out a problem.

    If I'm not still suffering under the current oppressive work schedule, I will try to make specially decorated cookies for the pre-game tailgate.

    I'm not sure if this has been mentioned, but has anyone done the math here?!?!?!?!?!

    IF every vote in this poll is accurate then the range of this tailgate is 500-700 people. I'd be willing to bet a few votes are duplicates of others in the same group, but still. I'd guess that would take it down to 400-600. Wow.

    Umm, yea, tell that to the guys trying to plan the thing :D

    I had no clue. I am very, very glad I made this poll because the original number I was giving to the catering folks was going to be for like 150-200 people -- I way, way underestimated things but I have now adjusted the number...

    Marquez Pinata, Pin-the-tail-on-the-Blanco, or perhaps a "blanket party" for the whole lot of green rabble?

    i'm sure this has been answered earlier but i don't want to read the whole thread. who/where can we get food from at the tailgate? money collection? we'll bring the beer for ourselves and of course we can pay people with food with alcohol. the hartford game was a little appetizer, now for the main course.

    The US Supporters/Sam's Army tailgate will be providing a grill and a lot of meat (70 lb. of chicken, 150 hot dogs, 150 hamburgers).

    This is all paid for from the US-Mexico scarf sales, but is open to all.

    Bring your own beer, extra food, vegetarian food to put on the grill.

    All we ask is that you tip the staff (cooks from our official bar O'Shaughnessy's) who will be working the grill.

    Officially - No.
    Funny you mention it -- they are. Of course they are just excited to be part of the fun of that day at Crew Stadium and are looking forward to the banter of the day with US fans, just remember to be on your best behavior since, well, they are cooking you food :D
    Not sure, that wasn't discussed -- regardless, if everyone brings $5 as a tip for all the work -- both during the tailgate and pre-tailgate preparing the foods -- that these folks are doing for our tailgate it'd be greatly appreciated.

    Wait a second! That's what I was planning on wearing. What will I wear now? I mean, you can't show up to a party wearing the same thing as some other dude.

    I'm more pumped every minute.

    So does that mean I shouldn't bring them? Or is this one of those policies where they will look the other way?
