Saw this in the Post. Looks like our beloved stadium won't get the shaft after all. http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A37370-2003Jun9.html
I saw the Italian Super Cup at RFK in 1993 (I believe) between AC Milan and Torino. Torino was either the Italian Cup winner or runner-up and Milan had taken the scudetto. It was a pretty boring game, I think 1-0 for Milan. Torino hit the crossbar with a freekick and Raduicioiu looked good but I don't remember much else.
It's good news and bad news. Good news: Easier to get there from work on a Wednesday night. Bad news: FedEx's inability to pull this off probably gives DCU less leverage when negotiating with RFK.
I've heard one of the sticking points was that Fedex wanted to charge $6 A PERSON for parking. I don't see how this effects DCU at all, I can't see DCU ever playing at Fedex even if we do need a temporary home. K
I am looking forward to laughing at the ticket prices tomorrow. Top price is going to be $125 but that includes access to a training session.
Places like Merriweather-Post Pavilion and Nissan Pavilion do. For a $2+ surcharge last year I got to park my brand new car in a field and walk a mile to see Jimmy Buffett. This is why I'll never go to Nissan again, even if God himself comes down to deliver his final sermon, for one night only. Really. I just gave up comp seats to Santana on Saturday, not that I have anything better to do. Thx, Jay!
I think game tickets are 85, 65, 45, and 30 (something like that) Lets see how many "soccer fans" will pay those prices for a practice but not pay $16 to come out and watch United. Guess what, I will pass on this one!!
I'm thinking of borrowing the giant DC United flag from the Barra and hanging it from the upper deck. Time to show these interlopers who's house this really is. Sachin
The "aroma" that banner has might give them the wrong idea. btw...A new one is ready and should be here by the middle of next month.
