    For those stuck at work and for those on Seaport Drive at 6AM...

    Please use this thread to discuss the ground breaking, post links to video or news stories and anything else related to the biggest day we've had since the announcement in February.

    Be sure to check the SOB Flickr & Twitter pages throughout the day as we'll be working to give you a feel of the atmosphere, starting at sunrise and ending at the Dark Horse in the evening!

    Would I be wasting my time to bring a soccer ball?

    Locate, pump up, find a bag to carry it in, get people together to play, set up an aare top play, find it when the day is over...


    Are you just deflecting 'cuz you're scared to play me, Marky-Mark and the funky bunch?

    Yeah, Bryan you did a great job of representing the group/team. They had nothing but nice words to say about the group and soccer fans in general after your interview.


    .... time for class, see you guys at 2:30

    That's a good partner, since it is a sponsor of the USOC and US Soccer.

    Yeah, I'm very happy with the news. The president said he is fully committed to making sure our stadium is "world-class" when it comes to electronics.

    i'd venture a guess and say you'll most likely have to wait until tomorrow when everyone's nursing their collective hangover. i thought the flickr and twitter links in the initial post were implying a PbP of the groundbreaking, but it's gotta be difficult to drink, sing, eat, AND provide updates simultaneously ... and at the same time, too.

    so, check this thread tomorrow and i would think we would all be provided with groundbreaking visual goodness.
