March 20, 2004...inaugural year of the CP Cup. Also, Freddie Adu's pro debut....he draws his first PK....our guy gets red carded....he scores his first pro goal....and oh yeah....the first filling/draining of the cup. The pub was packed due to Fred's debut and when the DCU fans marched in singing and the cup was presented and all the Battery fans standing around that had no idea what was going on, I thought...this is the start of something... Here's the whole collection from Andy Mead/Scott Bales: Charleston Battery vs. DC United, March 20, 2004, Carolina Challenge Cup and first year of the Coffee Pot Cup
Mr. O what time are you guys getting to the stadium, if everthing goes as planned I think the Buses will be there by about 5pm, maybe we should take some stuff for a little tailgating? Mikey
the pre match press begins. here is a peice from ESPN http://soccernet.espn.go.com/columns/story?id=568145&sec=us&root=us&cc=5901
jen chang, espn writer who did a great series while training with the Battery in the preseason, has thrown his support behind the Battery for Wed. http://sports.espn.go.com/espn/blog/index?name=soccer&entryID=3563367
I am really excited about this opportunity for the Battery and pray for a victory. I keep trying to temper my expectations by saying that we are going against an MLS team in the final, but the Battery have already taken out 2 1/2 MLS teams in this tournament, so... LOL I may well be a mess tomorrow waiting for this one...
I feel your pain! I took off this week and I think Im going to clean out the garage today just to keep busy!!! Here is another pre match article. http://www.potomacsoccerwire.com/news/460/3639 Mikey

Just a heads up to anyone who has ordered tickets through me. If you haven't received them and are already leaving, please call me and we might have to re-print them and have them left at will call for you. I know a couple people are expecting tickets to be out at the Battery tailgate in Lot 3 and while some will, not all will. So as not to create too much confusion, if your tickets aren't with Amy at the Lot 3 tailgate, then they will be at the Will Call which is located at the MAIN GATE. Any questions please call me. Thanks and have a safe trip up! Zach Walker Account Executive D.C. United 202-587-5469 zwalker@dcunited.com
Zach told me today, that Battery supporters were closing in on 300 tickets, while DC had about 6000. Even though, we will be out numbered 20-1, we should still be heard.
