I just moved to the Bay Area at the end of December. I've noticed that there are a few other Bay Area Galaxy fans on these boards. I made this thread for all of us to get to know each other and hopefully organize for some games. Obviously we're gonna be at the California Classicos at the Oakland Colosseum, but as an MLS fan overall, I'm interested in watching some of the other teams and players in this league beat the Earthquakes while enjoying some great soccer. I definitely want to hit up Red Bulls, DC, Houston, and a few other teams when they came to town. I'm also planning on going to the Earthquakes vs. Dynamo pre-season game at Kezar Stadium in Golden Gate Park. If anyone is interested in any of these games or just want to talk Galaxy/MLS with other Bay Area fans, post here.
I've usually tried to head to the south bay for LA matches, but never really for non-LA matches. If I didn't have two very young kiddos, that might be different. But them's the very cute facts. I work in SF and every now and then manage to hit the Kezar Pub or the Mad Dog for a big afternoon match (WC qualifiers; Champions League matches, etc.)
Make sure you join all of use when we go up there for the games. We'll form one huge supporters section...
I'm going to the Quakes/Dynamo game at Kezar too, and I can't wait to see the Quakes get creamed as much as possible and can't wait to see the Galaxy without having to drive 7 hours south. With a new baby on the way, getting out of the house is going to be even harder, so MLS close by is awesome. We'll definitely have to have a supporters meet up at one of the Galaxy games here in the Bay Area. I'm down for that.
I'm in the Monterey Bay area for school- I might head up to see a couple games at Buck Shaw stadium. Its pretty close to me, and even though the Gals won't play there- it would be fun to see an MLS game in such a small stadium, and root for whatever team the Smurfs are playing against.
im down in sunnyvale which is very close to San Jo actually... my dad is a Smurfs fan but luckily i was born the sane one in the family... yeah dude i been looking for galaxy fans in the bay area and it never occured for me to post it here... i would love to organize games and maybe hang out to watch a couple games. I would love to get a group going... would be neat. my email is: Ahernandez1985@yahoo.com
Yes please post your activities and pubs...I get up north fairly frequently and would love to catch games with fellow fans.
i'm in the Napa Valley for school. The bf is in Sac. We'd really like to go down and watch the Classico match at the HDC in April. Is there anyone driving down there???? I want to get tickets but am not sure if I can make it.
I know this is late notice, but I'm gonna stop by the Mayflower Pub in San Rafael, CA after work to watch the US/Mexico game. If anyone else is planning on going, let me know.
It's ALWAYS fun to see the Galaxy kick ass on whatever team or team name from San Jose. And of course to swipe your best player. And what's with the "Beat LA" chant. Is that like penis envy?
That's my fave chant, in any sport. Why? Because we don't give a toss about them back. "Hate LA?" Good for them. Must be a sad life to envy us so much. Tossers.
