TAILGATE: FCD v Revolution 06/04/2011

Game kicks off at 7:30PM

Tailgate starts at 4:30PM

The Official Inferno tailgate starts 3 hours before kickoff on weekend games.

Everyone is invited to join us for some brats, dogs, burgers, beer, soda, and an all-around good time. We encourage a fun, party atmosphere at our tailgates and it is the perfect place to come introduce yourself and start your relationship with the Inferno. Food and refreshments are not cheap, so we suggest you make a small donation on the day to keep us going all season long.

WHERE WE TAILGATE
The Southern most part of the Red Parking Lot, section W3, on the west side of Pizza Hut Park Stadium. We have a great time and love to see new faces, so bring your chairs and a thirst for fun & socializing!

Any plans for the tailgate this Saturday? I have invited a bunch of friends that I met at the Allen Americans hockey games and counting the kids from Sebastian's school who are also coming, we have 17 guests coming to the game. I'd like to invite them to the tailgate if we have plans for anything.

Will we have the grill? If so, I'll bring some hotdogs and buns.

Need extra tickets, Brenda? Michelle and I will be in DC this weekend, so our tickets are up for grabs.

I plan on being there I may have to bring the heavy duty gas grill but i would prefer not to it's hard to lug around but its a big 3 burner so if I need to bring it I will or buy one just for tailgates.

At the last game I had plenty of hot dogs and buns for everybody but no one had a grill so I wound up at the Londoner and I had "Shepard's Pie"

As my hours recently changed and I now have weekends off again, I've only as recently begun to attend the tailgates once more. Having so little recent experience with them, I may be wrong. What I see is some of us going straight over to the Londoner in favor of our reduced circumstances out in the lot. So if something special is in the works, like we have seventeen guests this weekend, I feel that what may be needed is an administrative word to the group via direct e-mail: We're doing it in the lot this week. Please don't go next door until it's time to parade.

Oh that eagle I call my avatar! Pay no attention to him, he's giving the finger (talon) to our opponents.

Not sure of my eta just yet but I'll bring my grill out. With any luck we'll have a tent set up in the lot for shade.

I'll bring my refurbished blue awning. I read winds will be no faster than 16 mph.

What about USA vs Spain? Figure our devotees will find it diverting?

I will certainly find the USA vs Spain game diverting. Of course I can't sit in the sun for that many hours so I usually show up really late. As in pretty close to game time.

I think it also said you have to have a ticket with stadium club access to watch the US vs Spain game

The pub is where our hardies will be perched, regardless of the stadium being open early. (Dratted finger-showing avatar bird. I just love him, but I have to continually clarify that his gestures are for opponents of FCD.)

Yes, please!!!! Can I meet up with you today or tomorrow to get those tickets? Or, maybe you can call Kevin and ask him to reprint the tickets and put them in Will Call for me?

Jagle and Stormchaser, we'll be tailgating since the majority of the people we invited (21 are coming) are no soccer fans or are new to soccer so they wonn't really be interested in the USA game.

Soooo that means, whatever you want to bring for the tailgate with be greatly appreciated.

Do you want me to bring extra food?

I plan on getting some hot dogs and hamburgers, but if you want to bring some chips or something that would be great!

I'll have my blue awning up early. We could surely use another one, though.

I will be flying Old Glory and the flag for U.S. Soccer behind my truck, even though it looks pretty still for wind outside.

Match preview from FCD with Bobby Rhine. Bobby talks to Andrew Jacobson.
Game will be shown on TXA 21.

Well I won't be making this tailgate. My car died on me yesterday and I have to wait til my lovely wife finishes college to drive me. Have fun everyone and remember to hydrate well as it's gonna be a hot and humid day today. See y'all at the game!

Thank you Jagle and Brad for providing shade for the tailgate and a special shoutout to Stormchaser for manning the grills during the tailgate. All our friends were so impressed with the tailgating setup.

I had fun the best tailgate we have done this year or at least I think so. BTW tell your friends that showed up for the first time they we on tv at halftime....the kids were beating on the drums.

If anyone still has it on their DVR, can you get a pic of that? It didn't record for us, and the only repeats are of the Revolution feed which runs adverts all through half time.

Incidentally, according to the Revs' commentators, pantsing someone is not a foul.

My awning was taken back down before most everyone arrived. Even after I changed all the bad bushings the wind was wrecking it. To a lesser extent, the same thing was happening to Brenda's shade. It was built by the same manufacturer as mine. Now the odd shade farthest away from my truck was built by another company and took the wind much better. I'm going to buy one like he has.

Yeah, can someone do a screen shot of the boys playing the drums?
