D.C. United vs L.A. Galaxy

Sunday, June 29

RFK Stadium

12:00 pm Kick off

Individual Tickets in the SE Nest/Perch and the SE Aerie

Tickets in the SE Nest and Perch are SOLD OUT. The SE Ticket Window will open at 10 am.

Aerie Tickets: For those who are late to jump on the bandwagon – we do still have an ever dwindling supply of lower bowl seats available at the $35 rate. Drop a note to outreach@screaming-eagles.com ASAP to reserve yours! For those that bought and paid for tickets in the Aerie and did not pick them up at the last two matches – they have just been mailed out. If you have still not gotten payment in – you need to do so ASAP.
SE Tailgate

Volunteers Needed: This tailgate is going to be HUGE and we need help in all of the usual areas (set up/take down, grilling, buffet, drinks and membership table). As always, volunteers eat for free. If you’re new to the club, this is a great way to jump in and meet people. Please contact Thea at thea@screaming-eagles.com if you can help.

Sides/Desserts: Sunday’s menu will be brunch (a little breakfast, a little lunch, lots of great drinks!) If you’d like to add to the festivities with a side or a dessert, that would be lovely (doesn’t have to be home made or enough to feed an army). Please contact Thea to let her know what is coming so we have a good mix of each.

Tailgate Timing

We will be open when the lots open at 8 am so please plan your arrival accordingly to ensure getting some food and drink (again, we’re expecting a huge crowd, you’ve been warned).

  • 8:00 am Drink tent opens
  • 8:30 am The Fabulous Buffet Opens
  • 11:00 am Buffet closes
  • 11:30 am Beverage tent closes, head inside

Tailgate Passes
Member passes are $6, non member $10 (non member pass is good for drinks and food). Please order passes in advance, it REALLY helps with menu planning if we know how many are coming.

You can pre-order passes for pickup at the ticket pick up table (next to membership) via Paypal by sending to payments@screaming-eagles.com (in the notes section, please indicate how many you are purchasing and if member or non-member). If you order by 4 pm Friday, June 27 we will have your name on a list, after 4 pm please print off your Paypal receipt and bring with you to the tailgate (we need a confirmation of pre-payment). At the tailgate turn in your pass at the tailgate check-in table where you will receive a wristband and then you can belly up to the buffet.

Passes for the tailgate are also available for purchase on the day of the game, cash only, at the SE ticket window.

Name that Tune-Win a Free Tailgate!

Come up with the best song title that best describes our upcoming game against the LA Galaxy and you can win a free tailgate (title can be something you make up or from an actual song). Email your entry to Kim by 5 pm on Friday, June 27 (include your name and email address). The winning entry will be posted on Saturday along with the playlist for the tailgate (winner will also be notified by email so please put email address you can be reached at during the weekend). Winner must use tailgate pass on the weekend that they win.

Game Day Experiences (United Drives, Post Game Party info)

For all of the other events going on at RFK and after the game, go here (if not the next game, check back, they’ll update eventually).

Tifo for the Nest

The next Tifo Creation Party will be this Wednesday, June 25 at Tim’s house starting at 6:45 pm. If you’re crafty or can come up with clever or snarky slogans, we need you!

Missing Flags: Please return ALL flags (even the small ones on the wooden sticks) after each game (and if you have some at home from past games, please bring back, no questions asked). These flags cost money to make and buy, and they need to stay with the tifo supplies so that they can be used for future games. Thanks to all who participate in creating items and helping at the games.

Sing Out Loud, Sing Out Strong: We are called the Screaming Eagles because of our voices. Those who chose to stand in the SE Nest are expected to sing and participate in other displays of support for the full 90 minutes. For more information on how the Nest works and to print out our song sheet, go here (if you have suggestions for new songs, please contact Tim).

Membership Renewal Scarves are In!

We said we’d have summer SE scarves for 2008 renewing members and by cracky, they are here in time for summer! Please stop by the SE membership table at any home game to pick yours up (we’d like to do a scarf wall at the LA game so if you’re in the Nest that day, please have yours). If you’re new to the club this year, we’re thinking about making them available for sale so when we come up with a price we’ll make an announcement. And if you haven’t renewed yet, well, what are you waiting for? You can stop by the membership table at any tailgate or go here and mail in the form or send us payment via Paypal.
