rob.notenboom Posted June 6, 2013 Share Posted June 6, 2013 Baseball? (Actually, the Mariners have a homestand while we're there. I might be in for this.) I could see myself doing that as well. Also I see that The Fixx is playing on the 10th ... might be a cool show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madmonte Posted June 6, 2013 Share Posted June 6, 2013 The Denver Zoo is pretty famous. Personally, I'm driving, so I MIGHT check out Colorado Springs. Still deciding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sam and I are talking about going to a Mariners game, we were going to go before everyone else showed up but if everyone wants too then we could probs hold off.

Sam Posted June 6, 2013 Share Posted June 6, 2013 Yeah I definitely want to see a Mariners game either the night of the 10th (BoSox) or 12th (Angels). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rob.notenboom Posted June 7, 2013 Share Posted June 7, 2013 Sorry guys ... been meaning to compile all of this and start a new thread but just haven't gotten around to it ... too busy at work ... students sweating about final exams. Not sure about the Mariners game now. Will either have to drive all the way from Regina to Seattle in two days to make it there in time to see the game on the 10th or stay an extra night in Seattle and attempt to drive the 2000km or so to Denver over a day and a half to get there on time for the game on the 14th. The 10th is the more likely of those two unlikely scenarios for Ryan and I. Unnamed Trialist suggested that a group meet at Bruce Lee's gravesite so I think we should add that to the list of possibilities. If anyone has a chance to compile all this and start a new thread, be my guest. Otherwise, I will try to get to it this weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madmonte Posted June 7, 2013 Share Posted June 7, 2013 Bruce Lee's gravesite? It's in Denver? I didn't know that! I have to point out that since I'm bringing my wife, I'm not sure how MUCH group activity she'll be down for, but I'm trying to gear her up to the idea of as much as possible. It's not often I get to hang around soccer loving guys. Whatever you guys decide I'll be fine with though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gotta start being more specific as some people are going to both and some to just one. Tell your girlfriend that she'll be fine if she can yell at the top of her lungs for 3 solid hours. Otherwise she'll be letting us down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smiddy Posted June 9, 2013 Share Posted June 9, 2013 Just looking to gauge the interest from those Voyageurs who are coming in to the Vancouver area before the Seattle match with regard to banners/tifo. Might have access to a place for us to get some done. Would like a rough estimate of people and concepts/ideas that would be acheivable in the timeframe available.

matthew Posted June 9, 2013 Share Posted June 9, 2013 I am woefully behind in making plans, but how is everyone getting from Vancouver to Seattle. Are there more details on the bus? I booked from the front page of the site, but nothing has been updated.... am I right to assume that is still happening? How many people are staying in Seattle after the match (and in theory could use a chance to check in to their hotels and drop off luggage well before pre-match festivities in Seattle?)? cheers, matthew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

matthew Posted June 11, 2013 Share Posted June 11, 2013 Is anyone taking the bus? Is there a bus? Should I just book a train ticket instead? I haven't booked hotels in Van or Sea yet, so I'm pretty flexible. cheers, matthew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unnamed Trialist Posted June 11, 2013 Share Posted June 11, 2013 Cross posting, as after being on the Ticketmaster 5 times to look I finally decide to buy today and it does not recognize the code! Nothing shows up in our section. Anyone have similar probs today? I doubt it is sold out, there were tons left just last week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was on last night though and there were 28 seats left in Section 100 for the Seattle game so there should be lots of spots left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had been meaning to start a new thread to keep track of planning details, but I must have gotten distracted by a shiny object. In reality however, this thread, plus the front page, probably has all the info anyone needs anyway. What do you think? Do we need a new thread or will this one do fine?

Califax Posted June 16, 2013 Share Posted June 16, 2013 Is there anyone out there thinking of QF or Semi final games should we be so fortunate? I will be in Baltimore for the QF should we wind up third in our pool and move on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue and White Army Posted June 16, 2013 Share Posted June 16, 2013 March to the match Is the plan to march before the first game (Panama-Martinique at 5:30pm), or to march before the Canada-Mexico game at 8:00pm, or to have two marches (one for each)? Do most people want to watch both matches, or just the Canada-Mexico game? Pre-match pub I asked two Seattle Sounders' supporter groups which pubs they recommend for us as Canada supporters, and the consensus seems to be either Fado Irish Pub or Elysian Fields. I would recommend Fado for three reasons: 1.) As already mentioned, Fado is a bit further from the stadium than Elysian Fields, making for a better march. 2.) Because Fado is further from the stadium, it should be less of a gong-show than Elysian Fields will be (in terms of having space for us as a group). 3.) Gorilla FC frequent Fado on Seattle Sounders match days, and away supporters are actually encouraged to visit their pub... so that venue has a culture of rival supporters mixing without any aggro. Admittedly Fado's beer selection isn't as good as Elysian's, but it's decent... and they also have whiskey, scotch, wine and cocktails. Please note that Merchant's Café and Saloon (109 Yesler Way, just east of 1st Avenue South) is the match day home of La Barra Fuerza Verde (Mexico supporters). If we march down 1st Avenue South, we might run into them List of chants A bunch of Southsiders new to the CanMNT scene are curious as to what chants we use. Correct me if I'm wrong, but there isn't a list of Canada chants anywhere on the Vees website, is there? If not, shall we build one? I have a list of songs I used in matches in 2008, but they may be a bit outdated. I also have this bunch of video clips from a WCQ in 2008. Since we rarely get together for matches, and since there will be many first-timers, and since we will be greatly outnumbered by Mexico supporters at the CLink, I think it's worth putting a chant list together. We could even practice a few in Fado before the march. It might also be worth someone printing out 100 and passing them out on the day. Chant leaders Any volunteers to lead the chants? I don't expect anyone to turn their back to the match like a formal capo, but it could be good to have two or three people leading. Currently, there are 12 seats sold at the front of section 101, and two seats sold in section 100 NA. If this doesn't improve, everyone could cram into section 100 at the very front. If sales do increase, some people will be at the front of sections 101 and 100 NA. It might be useful to have a volunteer at the front of these two sections, and maybe a volunteer toward the rear of section 100, to lead/coordinate chants amongst the group.
