Time is running out to get on board and watch the Rapids in the Rocky Mountain Cup in Sandy, Utah. Join the fun in cheering the Rapids on to victory!!!
Transportation to Salt Lake City
You have options.
* many in the P.A. and CVI are carpooling. Talk to your fellow supporters at the game this weekend or on facebook or whatever and start coordinating car sharing. I know there are still spots in some cars.
* You can fly – tickets to Salt Lake tend to be around $125 round trip, not too bad.
* You can still ride the Bulldog Supporters group bus if you SIGN UP BY SEPT 4th, which is only 5 days away. Click here for more information. There is still room on the bus. The price for bus travel, hotel accommodation (based on two people sharing), pre-game tailgate and a match ticket will be $125.
Hotel Options & local transportation
Radisson Downtown, $75 room rate has been negotiated, located at 215 West South Temple, Salt Lake City in downtown Salt Lake City. For more details see www.radisson.com/hotels/utsaltlk. These rooms should have 2 double beds in them, so you can share to save money. To reserve please send email to the British Bulldog by September 4. If you don’t by then, we can still work something out with them. Tell Jon you are with Pid Army or Class VI and want a room. This is where the party is going to be going on.
If you prefer to stay near the stadium and don’t care about being downtown for the partying, Summerfield Suites in Sandy is about a 15 minute walk to Rio Tinto and rates are as follows: $89 (studio King) $99 (1 bedroom) $179 (2 bedroom) plus tax (breakfast and parking included); $18 each way for airport transportation. There are a few people staying there already.
Match Tickets
Match tickets are only $15. You can get these from the British Bulldog up until the deadline of September 1st (again, let him know you are from Pid Army or Class VI). After that, please purchase them direct from Real Salt Lake in section 234 which is reserved for visiting supporters. Our RSL Front Office contact is at Brent Stevens should you have any problems.
Free Tailgate!
Some details still to be finalized, but the plan is that we will be having a tailgate in the parking lot at the stadium PAID FOR BY THE RAPIDS. The Rapids are being very generous and giving us $1,000 to pay for the beer and food at the tailgate, so it is going to be awesome. We will march in together full voice, flags waving and drum banging. Tailgate should be starting at about 4 PM at parking lot TBD by the stadium.
