Rapids hire a Marketing person!
Rapids take over DIA (at least, Gates B38 & B40)
For the first time in Rapids history, the team has hired a marketing person (or persons, or firm) to market the massive investment they've recently made in a little soccer stadium over in Commerce City.
Check here for the article outlining the Rapids new "Blanket the City" advertising campaign.
They've also got a number of photos of Pablo and Kyle on different streets, holding sandwich boards, running naked down the sidewalk.*
In any case, we're just happy to see the Black & Blue... errr, Burgundy & Blue splashed across the greater Denver Metro Region for all to share. It's nice to feel respectable every now and again. Which reminds me: it's still pre-season, so we're still tied for first place!
And on the heels of this news, we hear that the Rapids have (sort of) sold out the Beckham appearance on August 26th.* That's good news and it means we're going in the right direction.
I think those of us in Class VI section 108 will be glad for the company of thousands of fans to cheer with us as we spank the likes of Fake Salt Lake and other industrious, hard-working losers that spasm at the thought of Mile High breathing.
Oh, and if you're looking for more signs that the Rapids are coming to town? Check I-70 Westbound just as you pass Wadsworth. On the left, big billboard.
Now, if you're more interested in that picture of Cookie above, then check out this UK article interviewing his thoughts on Beckham.
*not really true.
