RS Posted July 13, 2009 Share Posted July 13, 2009 Man, I would be very interested, but I was at the last GC semi-final in Chicago and I don't think I could handle that again... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel Posted July 13, 2009 Share Posted July 13, 2009 Knock on wood. I'm in Chicago that day and if Canada's in, I'll be there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peter_tfc Posted July 14, 2009 Share Posted July 14, 2009 I'm in, with possibly one other. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avram Grant Posted July 14, 2009 Share Posted July 14, 2009 I'm definitely interested. Me and Squizz were batting around the idea of renting a car or van, any takers on that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
squizz1402635577 Posted July 14, 2009 Share Posted July 14, 2009 Martin, I could hold on to the banners if need be. I'm around during the day Tuesday and Wednesday if you want to arrange something. PM or call me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
squizz1402635577 Posted July 14, 2009 Share Posted July 14, 2009 It's also worth noting that (Avram) Grant has pledged that if Canada makes it to the semis, he will acquire and wear a beaver suit. It's on the Internet forever, he can't back out now: http://canadiansoccerblog.ca/2009/07/13/11th-heaven-new-episode-of-some-canadian-guys-talking-about-soccer/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Avram Grant Posted July 14, 2009 Share Posted July 14, 2009 Good sweet mother of God. At least it's only a hundred bucks... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Bob Posted July 14, 2009 Share Posted July 14, 2009 Also, I still have one banner. I get home today so I'll be able to ship it out to whoever shall be taking them to Chicago, but just let me know well in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Califax Posted July 14, 2009 Author Share Posted July 14, 2009 I'm back east in halifax for the week so I won't be able to take banners. It looks like squizz has it taken care of that anyway. I'm 75% for Chicago right now and looking at renting another car so we should have a few days to get numbers for the ride. PS that beaver suit is sweeeeeeet...

I know, I didn't want to write it, but I was trying to tread softly. Just wanted to be prepared in case, though, worst case scenario, I would fully accept all blame... except, no, blame the winnipeg guys because they did it first...

theaub Posted July 14, 2009 Share Posted July 14, 2009 There's no such thing as a jinx, don't worry (I was going to make this topic if you didn't). Anyone know some decent deals on hotels/etc? If I go I'll be there from Thursday-Saturday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Campgrounds KOA are 29 a night search Hotwire.com for hotels from 41 dollars at Ohare, usually a good deal from Hotwire, you only need bed, toilet and shower right ? So at 41 a night .. cheap price. Cant imagine why you TFC supporters cant get up to 1000 people to go ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theaub Posted July 18, 2009 Share Posted July 18, 2009 That's pretty cheap...I ended up going on a mini vacation since the White Sox play Thursday afternoon and the Cubs are there the next day so I am at the Hyatt (woo high class!). However I think we should get a general section in mind so we can buy tickets tomorrow night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would be nice to see lots of Impact fans make the trip too. If only rail travel was anything on this beautiful continent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
squizz1402635577 Posted July 18, 2009 Share Posted July 18, 2009 The first section that pops up at the $30 price level is section 220, which is behind one of the nets, just off to the side a bit. Probably decent seats. I checked on ticketmaster and was able to find 20 tickets in a row available. If we make it, I'd be willing to do a mini group-buy of 10 tickets or so and collect payment by email transfer or at the game. If one or more others did the same, there's your supporters section. It'd be nice to get a front row, since I have all the Voyageurs banners. But that's probably not possible, so I would probably just end up bringing the big V's flag. Dammit, I hope this thread doesn't end up biting us in the ass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theaub Posted July 18, 2009 Share Posted July 18, 2009 Yeah I saw 220 row 10...there's also 115 row 16 (for 20 seats) but that's $60 a ticket which is quite a bit. Hell if we did 10 tickets we can get like 10 rows up at midfield (expensive but also good for the TV audience). Regardless, I'll sit wherever you guys do. I'd like to do the group buy thing myself but my credit card doesn't have a high enough limit. If someone else wants to do it I'm in for two tickets guaranteed.
