Pre-match: Crew vs Toronto FC 3/28 :: pre-game/wager thread

I tell you, we really need to get immigration under control in this country. Look at all the sewer garbage coming down from the north.

 

Actually, that's the same argument I'm having with myself. I think I'm going to go for the Northwest corner, but I'll probably end up just walking over to the Nordecke anyway. Any way you look at it though, there isn't a bad seat in the place, except the South end.

 

TFC will be in the South End, maybe scattered in other spots as individuals, but the organized groups will be in the South. NW corner and East Upper Deck should be ok

 

Well the Nordecke hosts some of the cheapest tickets in the stadium and the best atmosphere (unless your bringing kids and dont like them to hear "bad" words). You might not have as good of field vision to see the game, but the atmosphere more then makes up for it.

 

Incidentally, can you buy Nordecke tickets at the gate? Is it just GA?

 

Nordecke tickets aren't open to the public as far as I know.
Tickets can be purchased through Crew Unions website or check out www.hudsonstreethooligans.com to see the steps to get tickets in our section.
(or you could just PM me with your requests) we have 15 dollar tickets in section 141 for every game this year.You can pick them up at Ruby Tuesdays (just down the street from the stadium, day of game)

 

So if I have a friend coming in from out of town and wants to go to the game, the only way that he can get a ticket into the Nordecke is through either CSU or HSH?

 

If your friend vetoes the Nordecke:

-East side upper will have a better view of the game, but there may be some TFC fans closeby. Canadians bought the entire south end, and their overflow is the southern part of the eastern upper deck (I'd guess sections 208-210)

-Northwest corner won't have anywhere near as good a view, but you'll be close on a few corner kicks, and you'll get a good view of the players leaving and entering the field, since the tunnel and lockerrooms are in the northwest corner of the stadium. You'll have a slightly better atmosphere in the stands too, as there shouldn't be many TFC fans, and the fans in the NW corner are usually more vocal and passionate than those in the upper deck.

-If you can get the Nordecke approved though, go with that. It's a very fun atmosphere, and if you can handle the language, the experience is very conducive to return visits.

 

I think if the Crew have any leftover, they'll sell them at the box office at the stadium. At least they did last year.

 

I'm still wondering about Ekpo's place. I'd love for him to have a breakout game and ball similiar to Jay-Jay Okocha in central midfield. Those cool strides from defense to offense are quick but not too quick where others can't keep up.

 

Osubowler, Cleazer is most likely right but your going to be paying anywhere from 5-7 dollars more for the same type of ticket...

 

My wife and daughter appear to be out since there is a 60% chance of rain. That leaves me an extra ticket in section 109. I prefer to be in Nordecke when flying solo so if anyone has a Nordecke ticket and wants two conventional seats let me know. I think 109 may be Canuck free, if not, they're Canadian. Buy 'em a beer and talk retarded, you should make a new friend.

 

How long is Rogers out for?

 

TBA. Sounds like he could be a possibility.
Injury Update

Good progress for Moffat, at least.

 

What is the letter/number of the aisle?

 

No worries, I hope that didn't come off as sarcastic. I was seriously asking. I may end up sitting near you then, as I think I'll probably get tickets in that general vicinity as well.

 

Well, you're obviously 19 rows up. I think there's either 24 or 26 rows in that section.

You should actually get a better view of the field from higher up.

 

Definitely.
If anyone wants a Nordecke ticket, you should buy it from HSH or Crew Union if you are able to (or La Turbina if you know how to get ahold of those guys), not only because it's cheaper than at the ticket window, but because that way you're also supporting those groups.

 

Four days until Crewsmas!!!!!

This is a day everyone can come celebrate no mader if you're Crewistian, Crewish, Crewdist, Crewindu or anyother Crewligion. We do not discriminate..... Unless you're Canadian
