TAILGATE: FCD v Toronto- 05/11/2011 Weds.

We need a win against these guys. We also need all of you out there cheering on the team. For those of you who cannot travel to the game you can catch the broadcast on FSSW or MLS Direct Kick or listen on Univision 1270 AM.

We haven't decided as to whether we are going to tailgate for this one or not yet. generally, mid week games it is hard to get enough together to do it. So we have listed some choices above for you to vote.

I got approved to leave work at 2 pm so I can be up to Frisco before traffic gets gnarly. I'll make a stop at home to tend to the hound dog and grab any last minute items I need then head on up.

If it's not raining terribly hard, I'll be tailgating.

I am game for whatever. I just need a few bevys before the game and I am good to go.

Was able to switch shifts with someone, so I'll be there for tailgating with Big Tex and co. Won't be making the Philly game though because I'll be in College Station :o

Hmm... drink my own beer with Inferno members or drink overpriced beer in the same place as the DFE. Yeah, I know which one I'm choosing.

Weather for the game Wednesday Night.... Scattered thunderstorms...some may be locally strong, especially around kickoff. Temps at kickoff about 79 degrees. Winds SSE at 10 to 20 mph. Chance of rain 50%. So bring your ponchos!!

So let's put this out there now....who has a pop up awning that we can use for this tailgate, if we need it? Dana, can PHP provide?

Any way I can get a lift from someone as the car is in use. I live in Frisco.

I'll check.

Being a newbie what time do I need to get there and food is the question....do I bring my own and a grill or bring money to help pay for food?

Roll call: How many people are planning pregame tailgate action?

I'll be there I just don't know what to bring? Food, a grill, or what

I'm making arrangements for a grill to be there and I've got charcoal for one go round. The fun comes with trying to shelter. The FO doesn't want to bring pop ups out because of the weather that's supposed to be running thru.

If there are enough people that say they'll be there before the game, the FO might set up a tent that will withstand the weather better.

Is there a grassy area or all concrete for a pop up?

There's a small grassy area at the tailgate area and an undeveloped field to the south of it.

Good I will pick up a easy up and that way I can secure it

Update Gameday 2:00pm: All the rain should be gone by 4:30 or 5

My arrival may be delayed depending on how long the rain lasts here in Funkytown. Right now winds are gnarly and rain is pouring down. Seems to be moving quickly.

I will still be there.

I'm watching the weather but I'll be there.

I see you not! It's wet and there's thunder rolling but I have beer so all is well!

When coming to the tailgate, I suggest using the service road entrance near The Londoner. All others nearby are closed up. Weirdness.

It looks like I might be out for this. I am going to give the lightning another hour before deciding.

I'm out.
