9/3 US vs Mexico US Supporter Info

USSF also called me... they got my fax but dumb ass me forgot to write down the the amount of tixs that I wanted. I told them that I was just so excited about the tixs that it slipped my mind. Guy was cool about the whole thing and told me not to worry, i wasn't the only one. USSF Rules!

 

I've been checking my CC online statement a few times a day.. still hasn't shown up yet.. I was paranoid I did something stupid, so i double checked my credit card number, all was good

no phone call, so hopefully my CC site is just a little slow

 

Misery loves company. I faxed mine on Friday at 5:15 Central. No e-mail, no phone call, no credit card charge, no nuthin'. I know they're swamped, so I won't add to their burden by calling to inquire now, but I'll have to know one way or the other by the 26th so I know whether to buy in the USSoccer presale.

 

I faxed mine about the same time..

here.. have some SJ optimism.. "Believe"

 

Here's another tidbit, or fact review.

If you're driving, the best option is to park at the fairgrounds lot for $10, and take the shuttle over to campus (no additional fee). After the game, take it back. Parking on campus is $10 for university lots, different prices for privately owned lots. I've seen as high as $15 for some lots, and there's $10 university lots closer. Plus, post-game OSU traffic can be a real PITA, especially for people trying to get out in a hurry.

We're trying to work on a deal where you can keep your car at the fairgrounds shuttle lot until after the US-Mexico game. It's usually the same lot as where you'd park for Crew Stadium events, but since the Crew Stadium lot doesn't open until 3:30, it might be a bit different. Driving less than 2 miles, and paying another parking fee would suck, we agree.

 

Other "Soccer" Things To Do

Was browsing the Ohio State website...

Not sure what OSU is ranked, but if memory serves correctly they're not to shabby.

 

OSU-Miami (OH) Tickets?

Couldn’t find ticket information on the OSU website for the Saturday (9/3 @ 12 PM) pointy-ball game versus Miami (OH), leading me to believe tickets for OSU games are for the most part either all sold out or only exclusively given to students and alumni.

Can someone familiar with OSU pointy-ball games give a run down on getting tickets to the Ohio State game? Can I get tickets in advance? Do I have to resort to scalping? Or will there be a window open day-of game?

(Please forgive me if this has been posted previously.)

 

Will there be some kind of bus/shuttle from downtown Columbus to Crew Stadium (and back)? How about one with a several kegs on board?

 

I just noticed my available credit is $80 less than my balance.. which is the amount of my 2 tickets

CBus, here I come!!

 

Anyone know how far away the German Village Inn is from the stadium? I think I'll be renting a car for the weekend anyways, but I'm just curious.

 

Re: OSU-Miami (OH) Tickets?

I'm getting a rental car, so unless it breaks down, I'm OK.

 

Re: OSU-Miami (OH) Tickets?

I'd like propose that we try to arrange it so that the most vocal and leader types meet up prior to the match along with any drummers so that they can go in as a group a bit early and get situated down front for maximum organization, coordination, and leadership of what's going to perhaps be the largest Sam's Army section.

As those of you active with your own supporters groups know, it's best to have the most vocal down front with the drummers for coordination purposes, to prevent different chants over one another, and to be able to turn around and make eye contact and motion to those above is best for getting and keeping everyone involved. Obviously getting the drums together keeps time better. For a WCQ against Mexico we should spare no organizational opportunities.

 

sounds like someone needs a hug

Re: OSU-Miami (OH) Tickets?

Thank you, DJ! I had seen these posts earlier and knew I'd probably find an answer somewhere in the 34 pages of posts... but I was admittedly too LAZY (actually, I didn't have enough time).

 

I got a call today, confirming the order!!!

 

My credit card charges showed up this morning! We are coming to Columbus! I am not sure what to be more excited about: T&T in Hartford, because it is coming up in a little over three weeks or Mexico in Columbus because it is Mexico and it may be the game where we qualify for the cup.

Who here is going to both matches? Any thoughts on your excitement level?

 

I'll be at both! I hope that the special US-Mexico scarf arrives before T & T. That way, I can "show off" in East Hartford.

I am looking forward to the Columbus match much more. I missed the Foxboro WCQ against Mexico. I could only watch in awe at the last WCQ against Mexico in Columbus. Favorite poster: "Warm Up the Donkey Hombre!" This is Mexico. It doesn't get any bigger than this.

Right now, I am seriously considering a trip to the Swamp for the US-Panama Gold Cup final.
