Rapids Class VI

All-Star Game in Colorado

That's right, CVI has learned concretely that the 2007 All Star game will be held at Dick's Sporting Goods Park.

And what's better?

Full Season ticket holders will get a FREE ticket to the game.
Half Season ticket holders will get a 50% discount on a ticket to the game.

Contact Marcus Myrick at mmyrick@pepsicenter.com for season tickets - get those deposits down - and spread the word!

Exclusive Supporters Event

Final details, such as they are, have been announced for the upcoming Rapids-sponsored supporters' event.

From the Rapids Front Office: Meeting will be Monday December 4th at 6pm in the Pepsi Center Elite Lounge (Rapids personnel will be there to direct you to the proper location of the Elite Lounge).

AGAIN.... Meeting is open to SUPPORTERS ONLY..........RSVP to mmyrick@pepsicenter.com or call 303-405-6123.

I'll add that our understanding is that you must be a season-ticket holder or have your deposit down for next season to sign up. You may bring one guest with you.

And "no," nobody knows what the meeting/event is about. It's likely there will be snacks/food there, but this has not been announced as of yet!

Screensaver update

Since the stadium has finally been named, we thought we'd update options for background images and screensavers.

The Rapids officially unveiled the name of our beloved new stadium.

Dick's Sporting Goods Park. Ahem. The name is as funny as the stadium is beautiful.

Big Dick's

The best news is that this deal is for a reported $2 Million a year for 20 years, helping to ensure the financial success of our club!

Rapids 5pm

Tomorrow's Western Conference final between our Colorado Rapids and the Houston Dynamo at Robertson Stadium in Houston will be show on HDNet, FSC, MLSLive.tv at 5pm. The British Bulldog will be hosting a viewing party. If you haven't been to one yet, you owe it to yourself to experience watching the game with a pub full of avid Rapids fans.

The British Bulldog will also be showing the Eastern Conference finals at 2pm (ESPN2).

The British Bulldog is located on the Corner of Stout and Broadway.

Rapids Send-off!

The Rapids are going to the MLS Western Conference Championship game for the 2nd time in a row! Houston, here we come!

Nearly 2 dozen folks made it out to cheer the Rapids on with a great big send-off including flags, drums, and (because some of us *are* soccer moms) a little treat bag for each player and plenty of cookies!

And Rapids Class VI was there to take pictures and join in!

Here are a couple short videos of the sendoff:

Uno otro short Rapids sendoff video with Celo cameo

Nice afternoon to get out. Great to see everyone, can't wait to cheer 'em on at the Bulldog Sunday!

Sending off the team

The Rapids Front office has arranged for the fans to be able to give the guys a “send off” at 12 noon tomorrow at the Westminster Training Center.

“Fans interested in a send off for the team on their journey to Houston should be at the Westminster Training Center on FRIDAY NOVEMBER 3 AT NOON Team is scheduled to leave at 12:30pm”

So, anyone who can make it would be encouraged! Feel free to contact Tina at: tinat@frii.com. People are looking for Banners & Drums & …. ideas of treats to send them off with.

Hope to see you either at the “pep rally” tomorrow or at the Bulldog on Sunday!

Conference Championship!

I hope to see you all at the British Bulldog for the Conference Final Viewing Party.

If you want a booth or table - get there early - perhaps as early as a couple hours! The place is going to be hopping - and it's a victory party you won't want to miss.

If the boys come through - there is talk about going to the MLS Cup Final. This isn't going to be formally organized - but I have contacts on getting tickets sitting together with other CVIers - C-Firmers (the other supporters group) and any other Colorado fans that will attend.

Just drop me an email to let me know you're interested in going after we win Sunday!

The first Game - New England vs DC United 2PM will be on ESPN2 - there will be a few people at the Bulldog for this game.

The second Game - Colorado vs Houston - 5PM will be on Fox Soccer Channel or HD Net.

The British Bulldog is located on the Corner of Stout and Broadway.

Finally, Pablo Mastroeni gave a radio interview with Glenn Davis - listen to it at:

He comes on a little past the halfway mark of the podcast. Enjoy!
