The Empire Supporters Club will travel to Mitchel Field on Wednesday, August 7th to support Metro in their quarterfinal Cup tie v Columbus. All members must show their 2002 ESC membership cards at the Mitchel Field box office to be ticketed in the ESC/Metro home end at the $12 group discount price. The ESC will be ticketed in section 122 of the West/Main Stand, our traditional home at Mitchel Field, behind the away bench. Tickets go on sale at 3:00pm on Wednesday afternoon. Make plans to beat what have always been major lines at the ticket windows. Banners are permitted, flagpoles are not. The Power are also running a shuttle from the Mineola Station on the LIRR. Come on, Metro
What Time are people showing up at Mitchell??? I may bring my grill, but don't know when I'm showing up
Check out the stadium. The Power has done a nice job fixing it up. Too bad they are pretty bad on the field. Absolutely no midfield. Mineola has a lot of trains. Good choice for launching a shuttle. Two other stations are slightly closer, but Mineola has many more trains that stop there. I'm all 100% for Harrison, but I hope that Mitchell becomes the next choice if Harrison can't get pushed through.
I would be too, if Metro could run shutles from Mineola or Hempstead. Maybe the Power would be open to sharing and DHs -- or may be they will be gone next season -- to Portland or where ever. Could Metro save enough by not renting the Swamp to afford running a shuttle? Hey, charge us a buck. It could be worth it.
