We've been hard at work finding ways to interact and improve the experience of Class VI.
Sure, the basics will stay the same: no fees, no obligations.
But, we've definitely added a meeting or two for those who are interested. In fact, our first meeting will be January 20th, 3pm, at the British Bulldog (coincident with the USMNT v Denmark game). It's not mandatory, just a great way to get involved if you'd like!
We've also added a new Class VI only discussion board. Use this link or simply go to the Class VI website (duh, the one you are one now) and check the top navigation bar for the Discussion Board link. Thanks to Allen for putting this project together!!!
You'll need to get an account (Free, of course) and then we'll register you as a Class VI member so you can see those forums. Make sure to email Allen with your new username (and real name) and we'll give you privileges for the Class VI forums.
Well, we've surpassed our twice-revised (upward) end of season goal, now 81 members strong! Do you want to sit in a section that is serious about the Rapids?
To join the Rapids Class VI seating club and supporters group, or to have any of your questions answered, please contact Mark Bodmer.
email: mark@rapidsclassvi.com
Membership is easy! Simply send an email to mark@rapidsclassvi.com to join - you do not need to be a season ticket holder to be a part of Class VI!
Single game tickets are available at a discounted rate when you join us (still TBD). We ask you to send an email to join so that we can get you on the Membership List for negotiating purposes with the Rapids Front Office. It also helps us set aside the section in the new stadium with an appropriate number of seats.
A Season Ticket Deal that is *too* GOOD to Ignore!
Moving into the new stadium in Commerce City next April, Class VI supporters will be located in Section 108 - a VIP section without the premium seat price!
See the seat location here and get a 360-degree view of our perspective of the field!
Normally these seats go for $540 for 18 games. The Class VI price will be $450! Half season (9 games) will be $234. Remember, there will be no parking fees in the new stadium, so that will save an additional $160 over this year's costs!
Additional Benefits:
-A free ticket to the All Star game if a full season ticket holder - a 50% discount if a half season ticket holder

We've got a few other things in the pipeline too - the above stuff is mostly extended to us by invitation of the Front Range Supporters thanks to Marcus Myrick.
But we've got a few of our own plans underway as well - and a lot of different people working on them.
Membership is making the difference!
Sometimes we get so wrapped up in the great time we are having during the season, we forget that Class VI is first and foremost a dream to create a great place to sit and cheer and yell and have a fantastic time with the best soccer supporters around.
We're getting there, and we have every new member of Class VI to thank. As the section continues to grow, the Rapids Front Office is taking notice. And with every head we turn, we all benefit!
If you want to get in on the action — great seats, great cameraderie, great fun — then help us grow! Get your season tickets in the Class VI seating club. E-mail Mark Bodmer of Class VI with any questions you might have or if you need assistance.
