    I noticed that on a lot of other threads concerning the friendly with El Salvador, people have been discussing the particulars of all the fan-organization stuff. Just thought I'd provide an official thread to let everyone communicate what all they will be bringing.

    This thread is all about flags(how many and how big), banners(how big, what they say), streamers(BRING LOTS), etc.
    P.S., songs and chants are a given, so let's not discuss those here, unless you have a serious idea that you know many will be able to follow in.

    RFK is always a great atmosphere, and considering the opponent, it should be muy interesante to see the atmosphere we can create on 11/17. Plus, this is their first competitive match since the Cup, so let's give them a propper welcome.

    Thanks.
    (is the new baby flag making it's debut?)

    I have to 2x check with entropy, but Rattlerzilla should be in 120 with Yank Army and La Norte.

    rock on to everyone that makes this game though, wherever you may be during the game

    I have a pack of smoke bombs with red, white, and blue that i'll be bringing. It came with 9 and they're the ball shaped ones. Flares might be kinda tough to get in and to set off. I don't know tho.

    I have smoke bombs.

    Smoke bombs are not as welcomed in RFK as they used to be. IF we light them up, we have to keep it on a down low. THe best way to do that is if we have a huge flag over of us, light the smoke bomb and fold the flag up. This way, no one can see who set the smoke bomb off.

    IF we dont have have someone bringing in a large flag, IM not going to bring the smoke bombs. Flag must be bigger then 15 x 15.

    ACtually, Ill just bring the big "La Norte" blanket. It covers about the entire section of 120. The only problem with this is that its not a DC UNITED GAME. A US flag would be better.

    Rattlerzilla is 20' x 30' - that's plenty big enough.

    Yes to both. Actually I thought it was going to be either red or blue (can't remember which), had no idea that thing was going to come out yellow.

    I love smoke bombs. Keep 'em comin'. Keep the fire crackers an bottle rockets at home, by the way.

    Flares (not the ones shot form a gun!) are cool too, but its too easy to see who the culprit is.

    I remember a few years back some idiot shot a flare at the 49ers bench during a Monday Night game at the Vet.

    Sachin, I mean that smoke bomb :D

    Who got the Rattlerzillia flag?

    I was going through flags we could make for USA games and I picked that one, only to see we already had one.
