I love the atmosphere at the stadium, but how come there is no flares. I dare you DC hooligans to rock the stadium tomorrow!!! Cheers and good luck to u all mates!!!!!!!!!!
Fire code more than likely. It's probably illegal to bring flares in...but Barra Brava and Screaming Eagles use smoke bombs so it still looks pretty cool in my opinion.
Been there... Done that. --Sure its not INSIDE the stadium but we have REAL cops in our section. Do any other MLS groups have that?
Flares are a big no no at RFK.... Smoke bombs are cool as long as you dont set them off under the flag after a goal
qaran, 1) RFK is not operated by DCU but by a different group, therefore there's no reason to even try negotiating for pyro. I hope Section 8 establishes a precedant with pyro when they get their stadium. 2) While flares/smoke are usually illegal in Europe (and prolly S. America) they can be smuggled in (and trust me, being groped by a cop when you have few flares on you ages you 10 years :/ ) as groups are large and agressive enough to protect those that light them 3) Supporter sections at RFK are shallow and integrated in rest of the stadium (so surrounded on all sides by regular fans) that might freak out For time being we have baby smoke
Thanks for the good words. Lighting pyro like that at RFK would be an invitation for a virtual riot of cops in the sections. Sh!t dude, we have been known to have rentacops beating down on people for smoking cigarettes. What do you think they'd do with flares?
Maybe because we're in Washington DC and if a flare goes off they might think it's a terrorist attack.
