Road Trip - Denver - June 21st

See post #6 on the first page of this thread. I suppose we'll find out how many privileges, like flags and banners, they provide for visiting supporters as we get closer to finalizing plans.

 

Not even close to a sell out, well the Rapids FO are sellouts, but I don't think that's what we're talking about.

 

I've reserved tickets in their visiting supporters section with the Rapids FO. Here's the update:

If we have a group of 10 or more people, then tickets are $12. If we have fewer than 10 people, then tickets are $15. I reserved at least 12 tickets, so they should be $12 each. We can get more tickets if we need them.

We can bring banners and can hang them on the railings in our section. We can bring flags, but the poles can be no longer than 3 1/2 feet.

They have the whole section reserved for us, so there should be no problem standing and chanting.

But they do have an unusually strict policy against profanity. They apply the same rules to their own SGs. See the thread about these rules in the BigSoccer MLS News & Analysis forum if you want to see what their own fans think about it (Next time someone wants to complain about atmosphere at The Dick).

At least five TA members have committed to going to this game. If you would like to reserve tickets to stand with us in the visiting supporters' section, please feel free either to post here or send me a PM. If you want to stand with us, you can just pay me when we pick up the tickets for the group at the stadium.

 

It's Section 136. It's a small section in the upper corner. But it's also a small stadium, so every seat should still be a pretty good view. People can certainly get seats closer to the field elsewhere in the stadium, but 136 is where they'll allow us to hang banners, stand, chant, etc.

 

Hey Anderson, my mom and I just bought our plane tickets so can you save us 2 tickets please?

 

katom and I will be coming into denver on Thursday night. two of us will be standing with you guys for sure. need to get with my other local friends and see who is coming, I'll get back to you shortly Anderson.

Excellent! There's no problem adding tickets.

I'd like to give them a more-or-less finalish number at the end of the week, but they'll work with us if we have some late additions.

If you have tickets elsewhere in the stadium, you should be able to join us anyway, but we can get you $12 tickets if you get them for our section.

yossarin has a game plan for the breweries for Friday, which he may post soon.

 

Obviously I am in for the Mets game, but I am also SOOO in for Flying Dog! Maybe the others too.

I will be hitting up New Belgium (Fat Tire) at some point as well.

I'd say PM Jasonma and he'll be able to tell you (a regular Rapids poster and cool dude)

 

There's Breckenridge Brewery, not much of a tour but they've got samplers. then there are several brewpubs like Rock Bottom and the Chop House, both have good beers and food.

 

Sweet. Thanks. Our flight lands at 2:55pm so I guess we are going to have to miss all of the fun breweries. But the game sounds cool. I'll just have to drink on the plane or something so I'll be caught up to the rest of y'all.

 

You can make flying dog!! That is the best of the lot on that list.

 

On Thursday afternoon I will be hitting up New Belgium (http://shop.newbelgium.com/index.php) and Odell (http://www.odellbrewing.com/home.aspx) in Ft Collins (about an hour north of Denver. Let me know if you want to join.

 

Depends. My sister is going to try and only work a half day, if so then after she gets out of work (say 2 or 3), otherwise I could go any time.
