It *should* be back late - late tonite. Embarassingly, we had server host issues over the weekend and have techs working on the issue even at this hour. The form for getting discounted Supporters Section(s) Tickets is available now on our front page. www.the-inferno.net
We invite all San Jose fans to join us in the 'general supporters' section where we intend to provide humorous 'support' to the teams in the cup. Everybody: "If you hate both teams clap your hands" <clap, clap>
Thanks - that is definately the plan - our tickets have been ordered but we had to wait for playoffs for seating - There will be a contingency of Earthquake Fans Present
With Kev off doing the ticket sales thing (call him at 214-777-0225 if you haven't gotten your MLS Cup tickets yet) and summarizing posts by Miss Charlie already made by poaching one of her posts from our forum.... Here's information about the Supporters Summit. Folks - it's here! The Supporters Summit and Tournament - a full weekend of your favorite activities. Soccer, Socializing, and Tailgating. Please go to the front page and register for the events you will be attending - we want to be sure we have enough for everyone! There is a minimal fee that covers all the summit events and an add on of $5 for playing in the tournament. REGISTER We have a full slate of events, some very cool door prizes, and it all starts 4 p.m Friday at the Arsenals favorite drinking hole - The Cypress Lounge in the Frisco Embassy Suites Hotel. Saturday starts at 9 a.m. with the Supporters Tournament, a lunch provided by MLS League Offices, Player Appearances, Behind-the-scenes Stadium Tours, and the Supporters Summit. (And maybe even a USA watching party) At 4:30 we take a short break to set everything up for the Silent Auction which starts at 6 p.m. at Dave and Busters. The Auction wraps up by 9 p.m. and its time for late night activities to start. Many Inferno members are planning to go to the nearby Irish Rover. Tailgating on Sunday, followed by the game, and more tailgating - festivities start at 10 a.m.
Some transportation updates! AIRPORT-TO-HOTEL If you are not renting a car...make a shuttle reservation now! (online or via phone). Shuttles are about half the rate of Taxi's from the airport. Supershuttle 1-800-BLUE-VAN (1-800-258-3826) Rates: Approximately $32-35 (additional passengers to same location get a discount) Parties of 5-10 people can reserve an "Exclusive Van" that holds up to 10 people for a flat rate total of $80 + $1 per person fuel surchage (plus tip of course!) HOTEL SHUTTLES TO PHP We contacted the following hotels and found that all of them have a shuttle available on a first com basis in a five mile radius of the hotel. The ones slightly further than 5 miles said that it was likely to be ok to take people to PHP, folks just need to ask the concierge ahead of time and 'reserve' a time.
