If you are already going to this game please put your name down below. Are you driving, flying, Amtrak, bus? Do you have a place to stay? We're trying to get a headcount of how many people from Boston are going. You can purchase tickets here. There is a cheap Motel 6 across from the stadium that goes for about $60 a night.
I'm heading down on Friday, May 28th, coming back on Sunday the 30th. Staying at Guest Quarters downtown (got the deal through Hotwire), taking the Amtrak Acela there and back. Plan to wear my Boston Chapter t-shirt on Friday night to whatever party there is.
This isn't really a viewing part related post but that will be coming soon anyway. So it looks like there will only be two send off games before the squad leaves for South Africa and both of those games are being played in the northeast. Are you going? Do you want to go but have made plans yet or purchased tickets? Not to worry because we have got you taken care of. AO Boston is organizing a bus trip to the Hartford game and we’ve been allotted additional tickets to both games in Hartford and Philadelphia.

More details on this will be available soon. Hotel & airfare deals are available for this game.

Are you guys planning anything in terms of Viewing Parties for the Turkey game? I was thinking CBS Scene would be a good venue for those who can't make it down to Philly but would like to go to the Revs game in addition to a viewing. I know you Boston guys have worked with them in the past...
FYI-There will be a party after US v Turkey at McFaddens. The bar ordered Direct Kick for all the out of towners to come and watch the MLS matches that night.
Well since the FLYERS are in the Stanley Cup finals Wasnt sure if you knew that? So yes they will be playing that, the UFC im not sure about.
AO Hartford will be in attendance for the Philly Game. I will bring some cases of beers leftover from the tailgate party to drink at the Motel 6... haha... GO USA!!!
