I assume you are in section 127 with the rest of us. It looks like from the stadium maps on homedepotcenter.com that we are in the corner by the right corner flag, low down -- sounds similar to 114 . That says to me there is plenty of room in that corner to drape flags and banners over the side. We need as many as possible -- including new ones out there. Lots of blue and white people. Start making banners now. Their safety guidelines say no drumsticks, has anyone contacted their FO about that joke of a rule?
Or just wear all the clothes your gonna need for the trip, a pair of jeans/cargo pants and 2 Wizards jersey's, that's all you need, you're last shirt can be a KC Wizards 2004 MLS Cup Champs shirt Stuff your tolietries in your pockets.
The Forza sign could take up a good portion of the front of the section. Any other space will be saved for the Igor and Lenexa signs.
Frontier Airlines just posted a 3 day special: SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA--NOVEMBER 9, 2004-- For 3 days only, Frontier Airlines has reduced fares from Southern California by up to 33%. This sale is available from Los Angeles, Orange County and San Diego. You can fly to more than 20 cities across the U.S. for $69- $119 each way (based on roundtrip travel). Travel is even valid to popular destinations such as New York, Washington D.C. and Florida. Sample Fares (each way): Los Angeles-Kansas City ... $69 Los Angeles-Philadelphia ... $74 Orange County-Baltimore ... $99 San Diego-Denver ... $99 San Diego-Chicago ... $99 Los Angeles-New York ... $99 San Diego-Washington D.C. ... $119 http://www.frontierairlines.com/3daysale/lax.asp Don't know if you'll get it but worth a try. OC is easier in and out and HDC is between both.
I'm not seeing these fares once I try to book...they're wanting $350 RT for the flights mentioned on the special. I think they require a 14day advanced purchase for those prices, and sadly, we're only four days out.
I also asked about the sections we're setting in. He said that the original section for Wizards players family/friends and staff was section 130. They sold that all out, which overflowed into sections 129 and then 128. We have 127. So he said it is looking like we're going to have four solid sections of Wizards fans. A very good thing.
I'm in after all. Arrive in LA on sat at 11:00 Northwest Airlines 1456 Lambert-St Louis Intl (STL) Arrive: 11:09am Los Angeles International (LAX) then the redeye back to Stl in time for work Monday afternoon.

I had planned on it. I plan on checking to see if poles are allowed, but I doubt that they are. I can always hang it like the last game. Maybe I'll replace the S. Africa flag with a Missouri flag I have somewhere in a box (not to piss off any KS people, just happen to have one on hand)
I have the Jimmy vs Conrad banner that I made recently. Is that worth bringing? I will also find a way to bring the drum I had last Friday.
I read on the home depot center site that poles are not allowed. But negotiations ahead of time allowed them in last year's final. Missouri flag is a good idea. Is Romania on there already, I can't remember? Yes, bring it.
I'm considering a cheap banner solution: blue tarpaulins and spray paint (make the lines real clean using masking tape). Get a 10' x 10' or 12' x’ 14 and cut it down the middle, then sew/tie the two pieces together lengthwise. It's a thought.
romania is not on there, and I would put it in place of MO flag if i could get one in time. Alas I can't. If someone can track one down in KC, I'd be willing to sew it in LA the night before (although it would be a bitch by hand, we did it with a machine the first time)
Bring all the banners you can. Nothing else on the topic needs to be said. Wow, now I feel like the only Cauldron regular not going to LA. Curse this college education and the stupid professors that make big ass assignments due on the Monday after MLS Cup, don't these people know that I won't be wanting to do work.
I should have taken the week off work. I'm nearly worthless. I'm spending all my time thinking about the game and figuring out chants and what to put on the blue banner.
