Road Trip to Philadelphia


Colorado fans are taking a road trip to the Philly Match (Saturday 8/14)!

Hotel: We have arranged a group rate at a historic hotel in downtown ($139 queen bed, $169 two queen beds) available for a minimum two night stay starting Thursday 8/12 and checking out Monday 8/16. We have information about another hotel in Chester if you want a less expensive option and want to just travel to/from the match and not hang around downtown, just contact roadtrips@nofanalone.com for more information.

Local Transportation: Most of us are traveling without a car, and just relying on public transportation, which includes a bus to Valley Forge! Since PPL Park is in Chester (approximately 10 miles south of downtown), we are going to arrange transportation to/from the match as we find out how many are traveling. There is an update on the Union website that looks like we can take public transportation there too.

Philadelphia

Getting There: Travelers are responsible for their own transportation to/from Philly, there is a local shuttle to get to/from downtown hotels for $10 per person each way (www.ladylibertyshuttle.com). The current airline fares are around $385 and they are lower if you can stay longer than just the weekend.

Match Tickets: We have a few tickets available at $36, and more available in the supporter section for (approximately) $20 per ticket – pick your poison.

If you are interested in more details, contact Tina at roadtrips@nofanalone.com!

From the Pitch with Marcelo Balboa

Another addition of Marcelo Balboa’s From the Pitch. Chelo has been in South Africa working the World Cup. This week guests include Brett Jacobs, the Youth Academy Director of Coaching for the Rapids and there’s a nice clip of World Cup discussion. Enjoy.

And don’t forget, this next home game, we’re putting on a three hour tailgate starting at 4PM with a 7PM kick off. Our National Team wasn’t able to fill the dream of semi-final appearance, so it’s time to put your heart back into the Boys in Burgundy and have faith they’ll be playing for MLS Cup November 21st!!

Enjoy the Quarter Finals of the World Cup and we’ll see everyone Sunday!!
