The canoe for these Voyageurs will be a 2015 Camaro SS (Sport Shaman) Edition that appears to be finished in the Allez Les Rouges paint code. https://turo.com/rentals/cars/tx/houston/chevrolet-camaro/167833?s=H-3Ydyws I stand corrected. The Camaro SS is not available so we will have to settle for the 2014 Camaro RS (Rouge Supporters) Edition with the Allez Les Rouges paint code. https://turo.com/rentals/cars/tx/houston/chevrolet-camaro/64054 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lovely city, great food, great people. The second time was Fort Worth in July. It was over 40 degrees with 80% humidity, the steering wheel in my car partially melted, and I was damn near eaten alive by mosquitoes. I think I'll hold off on anymore summer trips to Texas. I promise Ft Worth isn't terrible..come visit us in the late fall or in March....LOL! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From what I can decipher, the Vs might be a total of two visiting and the local expats who may be aware of us but likely not. We were thinking that getting better seats with a proper view might be the way to go here. A supporters section behind the goal is great fun when you have the numbers to make it respectable but for less than 10 people it just doesn't have much punch. Besides this is the Honduras match in Texas where I expect to be outnumbered by about 500 to 1 or more and you know who will be behind the goals. There were about 15 of us Canucks behind the goal in Los Angeles in 2015 for the match against El Salvador which went to a 0-0 draw and we took our share of abuse in the form of beer soaked Gold Cup promo scarves and beverage containers tossed our way. Now picture a Canada win in Frisco with four dots of red behind the goal. So I am going to look at some seats that might be close enough to our player's bench that we can share our passionate support with the team much like the seats Steven and I have for the FC Edmonton season. I will update tomorrow with suggestions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hutchins BBQ...ya'll gotta try it out if you come... If you live near the GTA might be more reasonable to fly Southwest Airlines out of Buffalo to Love Field in Dallas...which is about 25 miles south of Frisco Steven and I will get into the area on the 13th and will need hotel rooms for the 13th and 14th before we "Dash" back to Houston on the 15th. Our main criteria is proximity to the stadium and any recommendations are appreciated. The BBQ at Hutchins sounds impossible to pass up. We could head there on the 13th unless you want to do a pre game there on the 14th. All local knowledge is greatly appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elDirty Posted July 5, 2017 Share Posted July 5, 2017 Who's officially making it down to NJ on Friday, trying to get an head count to set up a tailgate by the stadium (Either in front of the "Warehouse Parking" or next to the Panasonic Building - either way it'll be decked out Canadian, with the flag flying high). I'm looking to get things started around noon-1 PM If you're making it down, stop on by. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are still a few seats in section 120. Jamie has told me he is not able to go to this game so @goleafs67 or @Yohan or @ClashCitySoccer if you need a ticket with fellow Voyageurs I've got one ready for you! Just post!

Olympique_de_Marseille Posted July 7, 2017 Share Posted July 7, 2017 We didn't make the trip down. I got some kind of gastro - Hopped up on Gravol not even going to a viewing party. Hope you guys enjoy our projected 3-0 win! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately I can't make it tonight either guys. Was really try to make it work but didn't come together. Enjoy the tailgate and have a few Molsons for me. Here's hoping that potential 3-0 forfeit win sends us on the way to Philly in a few weeks for a QF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel the need to pay homage to the most awesome hospitality that Mike (elDirty) provided us while we were in New Jersey. You can see from the photo how prepared he is and I mean this guy thinks of everything. The Molson Canadian and Labatt Blue were ice cold and those chicken drumsticks were grilled to perfection. Not only did this man single handedly provide the beers and food for all of us but he was feeding perfect strangers who dropped by to chat. We got to meet some of his friends that are passionate Red Bulls supporters and adopted them as Canadian supporters. Even though Mike had to leave before the second game was over, some of his friends stayed to the bitter end and then partied with us back in Newark until we saw them to the train at about 1:40 AM. Not only are his friends awesome but he is a regular Swiss Army knife of a supporter who really brings his voice in the stadium. If you are with an outnumbered group of Voyageurs then this guy is somebody you want on your team. Thanks for being part of what made New Jersey an awesome time for us!

RoadWarrior Mike Posted July 12, 2017 Share Posted July 12, 2017 For anyone going to Frisco or any of the other CONCACAF venues, let me know the meeting spots and I will add it to a mobile map for easy access. It has worked well for other sporting events so wanted to give it a try to see if it is helpful for you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What kind of restaurant is open only until 3 PM except for Friday and Saturday? No chance of getting there yesterday after arrival in town so we went for some awesome Mexican food instead. Maybe we will try again today but this restaurant is definitely playing hard to get (to) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
