Here are the logistics for Saturday. If there is something you don’t see mentioned here, please ask us in the comments or on Twitter or Facebook.
Schedule of opening weekend events
See our post here.
Tailgating
The lot on the southeast side will be open for tailgating. Look for flags and tables somewhere near gate C to find the merch sales and free Surly. The band Secondhand Ska Kings will set up south of there at the pavillion near gate D. People will be arriving as early as 4:30pm.
Free Surly
The free Surly will be handed out from 5:30 to 6:45. We hope to be setting up near gate C. There is a limit of one per person. You must show a valid id to get one and you must have a game ticket. We will punch your ticket.
Free Bus
Metro Transit will provide free rides to and from the stadium. Show your match ticket between 5:30pm and 11:30pm to get a free ride. Full details are here.
Supporters Section in the Stadium
We’ll be in the general admission section 101. That is on the opposite end of the stadium from the tailgating lot. Sorry, you’ll have to walk your ass over there.
Dark Clouds Membership Cards
We’re hoping to have the cards printed in time so you can pick yours up before the game. Even if you don’t get yours in time, you can still take advantage of your $20 merch credit. We’ll have a list of members on hand so we can verify you.
Dark Clouds Merch
We’ll have some shirts and the 2012 supporters scarf on hand for sale or for your $20 DC membership bonus.
