    I just met with our supporters bar last night. They are going to sponsor two busloads from Baltimore to the match, so that's 110 that we are bringing.
    Still working on a package price, most likely will be $75 and include the bus ride, commemorative Baltimore Brigade t-shirt and game ticket. We are also working with a local beer rep to provide a few kegs for the bus ride.

    Stay tuned... If you are local to Baltimore, we'd love to have you!

    From wiki:
    According to the 2000 US census, there are 117,575 Americans (and to 2005 American Community Survey there are 164,945) of full or partial Turkish descent.

    So there will not be many Turks there, unless 1/3 of all Turk-Americans go to the game.

    It looks like I will have a group of six or so heading to the Czech Republic match, and then a few more added to that group for the game against Turkey.

    I'm expecting a great turnout for the game in Philly.

    For those of you that know the area, how close is Lincoln Financial Field to downtown Philly ? And is there a transit system that drops off close to the stadium ?

    Lincoln Financial Field is about a 15 minute drive straight down Broad Street from downtown. Philadelphia's downtown is pretty condensed. The Broad Street Line goes directly from downtown and will drop you off three blocks from the stadium.

    Philly has a stadium complex; all the stadiums are in one area south of downtown, about four miles straight down Broad Street. Your best bet is to stay downtown and take the subway to the stadium. Take the Broad Street local south to Pattison and it'll drop you off in the middle of the stadiums.

    I am definitely going to this match. And frankly, I think everyone (not all at once) should invade Pat's Steaks postgame.

    Glad to hear you guys will be there. I rode the El in Chicago back in June surrounded by Naranja, if you guys are half as fun as you were then it should be an awesome time.

    You should just join AO Philly. You would save money in the long run and not have to pay those insane service charges.

    Not exactly sure. I know it's at one of the endlines, just not sure which one yet. But if I was you I'd defiantly join AO if you plan on attending more games in the future.
