Just wanted to put an idea I've been tossing around in my head this weekend out there. The CONCACAF Gold Cup will be coming to Tampa on Saturday, June 11. I'm definitely planning on attending. Maybe we can set-up a pre-game tailgate, or even group tickets so OCSC can have a unified presence there?
Good points; should be a very eventful weekend no matter what. A lot of the speculation I've read has the US's group coming to Tampa which would be great. When it gets closer and more ticket/event info comes out we can probably work something out with any people who want to attend.
That would be fabulous, but I won't get my hope up yet - last time I think they mostly had the Caribbean teams in FL! According to my notes, the schedule is to be announced in early Feb!
If the prices for the Gold Cup are anywhere near the prices for last year's friendly between the U.S. and El Salvador, I'll be with the prawn sandwich brigade in the club seats.
lol, depending on the pricing/availability I'll likely be getting the cheapest seats available likely at the ends or corners.

Ticket pre-sale at TicketMaster for the Tampa Bay games begins at 10am today. The password is "USAFAN". It also nets a $5 discount per ticket. The full sale begins next Wednesday. O/U 2.5: How many Cuban players will defect at the Gold Cup this year.
Nice! Thanks for the update, I'm going to try to get a couple today. edit: Just kidding, lots of different seating prices between $30-$100. I got a couple at $40 putting me in section 120 row D.
AO is teasing us with a deal for tickets in the supporter section. For whatever reason it is taking longer to get it set up for the Tampa game. lol at 25% convenience fees with ticket bastardo. Going to try to avoid paying that at all costs.
