Just got this from my friend that works for the Wizards! Sounds pretty fun - I'm in, anyone else? Round Trip Day of MLS Pre-Season Action in Tulsa Be a part of the Wizards pre-season MLS exhibition game in Tulsa, Oklahoma by catching the bus straight out of Arrowhead Stadium on Saturday, April 5th. The Wizards “Fan Bus” will depart Arrowhead at 8:00 a.m. and arrive in Tulsa at noon, with a stop for lunch before heading to Skelly Stadium. The bus will arrive at the stadium 45 minutes prior to kick-off, so that fans can see the Wizards and Dallas Burn warm-up. The game will kick-off at 2:00 p.m. and conclude by 4:00 p.m. Road trip fans will head back to Kansas City and arrive at Arrowhead around 9:00 p.m. The round trip ticket package including bus and game ticket is $35 per person, and can be ordered directly through the Wizards office by calling Jake Spain (816) 920-4741. Seats are limited on the bus, so fans are encouraged to order early to insure availability.
Glad to see that the Wizards are doing this, but we've really got to get organized with them in the future. We've been planning a trip to Tulsa for over two months. Not to mention someone fronted for 25 tickets. I highly encourage people to buy tickets from Roush for this game to help him cover his costs. Wyoming Wizard: You titled your thread "Oklahoma City" yet you're talking about the Tulsa game....
You should be thinking OKC. We have more to do if you're staying the night, and it should be a better game. I know it's a slightly farther drive, but it isn't that much farther. IMHO, we have a better chance of landing a team seeing as how we seem to have our act together & I have heard squat about Tulsa. Plus, You might think about getting used to traveling to OKC for future games, hopefully, and March 29 is a great day to start.
I think that'd be pretty cool, no way my mom would go for it though. Anybody gone with the wizards on one of these before?
It's good to see that the Wizards listen to fan input. I mentioned this idea to Ryan Haas at the first-look practice, but when he was telling me about the prices for the bus, I thought it might be a bit steep for the Mystics. I think I might have brought it up once here, but I don't remember. It took them long enough to make it happen though... And LSN, you need to convince your mom to let you go with some of the Mystics... Cheaper, and she can meet one of the more upstanding members of the group first.
Who the hell is that? I nominate spoon since he is a father of a little girl, just like her mom. LSN, can you drive yet? If you can we have ourselves a designated driver.
Re: Re: Road Trip to Tulsa! Havn't even got my permit yet- I know I will make a terrible driver because I get easily distracted. Tulsa is out of the question now, have a HS game that morning
Re: Re: Road Trip to Tulsa! It's over...it's all over. Spoon is the responsible one. Implant me with the Beast's microchip and mark me now (the UPC barcode, of course). Hey, I'm upstanding! No current warrants, no felony convictions...not even a misdemeanor arraignment to my name. Admittedly, I've taken part in a lawsuit against a school district and fomented anti-Greek (khakis, not gyros) rabble rousing for years, but that's more in the area of "gadfly" than "miscreant".
I second Ben's comment.. Seriously though. There may be some difficulties with my transportation to OKC, but I won't know until Friday night. Would there be a possibility of someone hopping off the Turnpike in Wichita to pick me up? Thanks,
Re: Re: Re: Re: Road Trip to Tulsa! I should have clarified. I have no problem with Greek student life (well, not any problems worth mentioning, anyway). I have a problem with Greek-led organizations consolidating student power, money and decision-making. It's a long story.
Things change when you have a little one around. Beside who else would be better to spread the great word of the Mystics. Or I can be a phoney ass?
