Seeing as how this match is one month away, is there still interest among people about making a trip out there to see the new stadium? I haven't heard anything since a thread that was meant to gauge interest a while back. If anyone wants to see this match, I'm sure tickets will be hard to come by if they're not already sold out, so the time is now to get this ball rolling if there's any interest.
Rapids/Arsenal Fan, you just had to post that right before we were 100% ready! Here's what the Rapids Front Office has negotiated with the Galaxy regarding the game; we were due to release this to our fans tomorrow: Join the Rapids in LA on June 7 for the Home Depot Ctr. Grand Opening! Travel to Los Angeles with the Rapids for the June 7 Inaugural Game at the brand-new Home Depot Center to see the Rapids take on the Galaxy in a nationally-televised match! The Rapids have secured seats for any Rapids fans that want to travel to the Home Depot Center in LA on June 7 to see the Rapids take on the Galaxy in inaugural game at the USA’s newest Sports Stadium!

Sweeeeet. Just have to clear it with my boss (or I'll quit, one of the two) and then I'll fork over my cash. CAN-NOT WAIT!!!!!!!! Oh, and that seating plan link is broken. Here's the real deal: http://www.homedepotcenter.com/venues/soccerseating.sps?iType=4176&icustompageid=6785
Seeing as how the bus trip isn't going to happen... who's up for the massive caravan road trip? Buying a house so I can't afford to fly at the moment... but I close on May 30th and could certainly use the stress relief of a road trip.
Game itself? I'm in if I can find a cheapo flight Sat-Sun or Fri nite-Sun. Can't take any time off from work though so I'll have to miss out on some fun.
Hello friends, please excuse the typo in the previous post, but the Rapids seats will be in Section 127 (not 137); opposite corner, still on the East (TV) side. Thanks.
Reminder, today at 5pm is when we take our last order for this trip! To date we have received a very small amount of orders; if you're interested in going, please let us know today! They will then release the rest of our seats for sale. Send your emails to rapids@mlsnet.com Thanks Rapids FO
Nuts to that! If airfare was included in the $22 I would jump at the chance. Hell, I might even pay another $10. Any "River Rats" going? O-lé, olé, olé, olé, Rapids, Rapids.
Is it true about the side adventure to Disneyland during the match for those not wanting to be ridiculed in the new stadium? Ahhh, I'm still a Rapids fan, just trying to keep a cheery attitude while the knife keeps cutting.
Oh yeah, spare us Team USA, there's never been anything cheery about your disposition... can I get a "Semper Fi, Do or Die" there Major??? When the wave breaks here.... DON'T BE THERE...
