I received an email from "inviting" me to a B2B networking event, pre-game reception, etc. before the Tottenham game. Looks like I have to buy some tickets to attend. Here's a link from the email: https://tickets.dcunited.com/index.cfm?code=luCVGse1b3
they've had these for a few years. basically you go to a mixer down on the field level behind the south goal. there are usually 50 or so folks there "networking". i have gone to several and we have made some contacts, though i spend most of my time watching the opponent warm up--one match was before a KC game so i gave meola some "tips" while he warmed up a couple feet from me. they are a good event in my experience.
before you could just buy access to the party and use your seats (that is what i have always done). call ryland dennis at 703-397-5459, he is with DCU and usually is one of the people responsible for these events.
