Monster Tailgate for USA-Cuba

I'm not sure if this is going to be "monster" tailgate anymore. Only 17,000 tickets have been sold according to Goff. We had three times the amount of people for the Beckham game (which actually quite sad). People would rather see Beckham than the US

 

I finished the cookies, but I used a different technique for decorating and I am disappointed with the results. I guess losing my main pair of glasses didn't help with the final result either. I can barely see now.

 

anybody have any idea what time the parking lot will be open at RFK in the morning?

 

3 pm.

 

Yes. That's really disappointing. I was hoping for at least 30K. The weather could help bring out a decent walk up crowd, though.

 

I never realized there was so much water in DC. Looks like Venice.

 

shocked by the ticket sales

 

I'm not. The tickets are too expensive for a game that's likely to be a blowout. And my seats which are normally $28.00 for DC United games cost $40.00 each today.

Granted, the inflated prices didn't stop me from buying two tickets, but I can't see any reason for USSF to inflate prices by 40%.

BTW, nyrmetros, are you coming to the game?

 

There's nothing patriotic about that song.

 

This sounds like so much fun. I wish I stilled lived in DC so I could attend.

 

Yeah, I'm bummed about the 20,000 attendance tonight

However, it was a monster tailgate. We had over 750 people come through for food, and that doesn't even count the SEs and AOs who just showed up for free beer (and there were many). We killed 14 kegs plus a whole ton of cases. I think we served over 1000 people.

I hope anyone who was there had as good a time attending it as we did throwing it.

 

I had a really great time. Thanks to all the SEs for all their hard work, it was fantastic as always.

 

I came down on one of the Philly buses. Many thanks to the Screaming Eagles for an absolute blast and for your fantastic hospitality !

 

The setup and coordination was top notch. Screaming Eagles could not have been more gracious hosts to us out-of-towners. That's the way it should be done in every WCQ city. Here are some pics I snapped of the event:

 

14 kegs. Wow.

That was a pretty amazing party.

 

The tailgate was great, but I did feel that the chairs inhibited mingling opportunities amongst the fans.

 

Grill, Baby, Grill !!!

Just wanted to put in a very special thanks to the volunteers manning the grills for the 4 hours it took to feed the masses!!

Which is why I didn't put it on the playlist. It's a great song but a lyrical downer.

 

Just wanted to thank the SE everyone else for the tailgate - Great job and a really impressive tailgate! Thank you!

 

Also want to thank everyone involved in putting together the tailgate, the food prep, the dessert makers (kicking good tiramisu), and the folks who worked the kegs. You guys and gals put on a great pre-party, and also helped rock the house during the game. We had a great time!

it was great, those drummers were amazing and they put on a good show before and after the match, i had a great time, good job guys

 

Mad props to all the guys and gals of SE's who held such an impressive event! Thank You for the warm welcoming!

 

My son and I enjoyed your tailgate. I especially liked the pulled pork and Dominican Ale. Music was much appreciated also. And, I met a SE who attended the same university as I, U of Oregon. Small world.
