Note from the roadtrip director with numerous details and latest updates on this trek:
USMNT Supporter,
Thank you for joining us for this historic trek!
We will be having four pick up locations for the USMNT vs. Turkey match on May 29, 2010. What I need from everyone is to know exactly where you will be getting on the bus and where we will be dropping you off. If you purchased a seat on the bus or a ticket/bus package for someone else please forward this information to them.
We are now adding a fourth bus for this trip. The buses will NOT be making stops at all locations. All the buses will meet up in New Carrollton and travel in a caravan to Philadelphia. If you miss a pick up in Arlington or RFK you will need to find a way to get to New Carrollton before the buses leave at 9:00am.
Pick Up Locations and Times:
- Kitty O’Sheas (2403 Wilson Boulevard, Arlington, Virginia 22201 – located down the street from Courthouse Square Metro Station). The bus will start loading at 8:00am and leave at 8:30am sharp.
- RFK Stadium. In order to park at RFK you need to pay the regular parking fee of $15. If you are a season ticket holder and have your parking pass they will accept it. The bus will start loading at 8:00am and leave at 8:30am sharp. **Parking will be in Lot 8 – use the Independence Avenue entrance (the I-395 entrance will be closed)**
- New Carrollton Metro Station (4700 Garden City Drive, New Carrollton, MD 20784). The bus will start loading at 8:30am and leave at 9:00am sharp.
- Maryland House on Rt. 95 at Exit 83. The bus will pick up people at 10:15am.
The drop off locations will be the same as the pick up locations. The buses will leave Lincoln Financial Field IMMEDIATELY after the match. We will be in a race against traffic to try and make it back to RFK before kick off for the Chivas match.
I need the answer to three very important questions as you sign up:
Where are we picking you up?
Where are we dropping you off?
What is your cell phone number in case something comes up and we need to contact you?
Please note that the buses will leave at exactly the times indicated above. We will NOT wait for anyone. Please ensure that you leave in plenty of time to make it to one of the four locations.

Thank you in advance, if you need any other information please do not hesitate to reach me directly at roadtrips@screaming-eagles.com
Final Boarding Call for Philly
USMNT Supporter,
Thank you for joining the Screaming Eagles as we plan to invade Lincoln Financial Field to support the USMNT in their final match on U.S. soil before departing for South Africa.
RFK PARKING & PICK UP
For those of you boarding at RFK Stadium you will be parking in Lot 8. You must enter Lot 8 through the Independence Ave main entrance. Parking is $15 for the day or you can use your parking pass. The buses will be picking you up in Lot 8.
BUS DEPARTURE DETAILS FOR PHILADELPHIA
Two buses will be at Kitty O’Sheas and two buses will be at RFK Stadium at 8:00am. We are scheduled to leave no later than 8:30am from each location. We would REALLY appreciate it if you could arrive at each of the two sites as early as possible so we have time to tailgate in Philadelphia.
All four buses will arrive in New Carrollton at 9:00am. Please arrive at New Carrollton around 8:45am so we can depart as soon as the buses arrive. For those of you getting on at the Maryland House (Rt. 95 mile marker 83) we plan to arrive at 10:15 am. We ask that you be there at 10:00am so we can get you on board and leave immediately upon arrival.
TAILGATING INFORMATION
The Screaming Eagles will not be putting on a tailgate for this match. People are highly encouraged to bring whatever it is they would like to drink and eat. The bus company does not permit propane grills on the bus. You are welcome to bring a charcoal grill. People are encouraged to join together for an informal tailgate.
THE BUS
If you have a large cooler it will have to be stored under the bus. Small coolers are permitted on the bus as long as they do not interfere with the person sitting next to you. Eating is permitted on the bus – please dispose of garbage in the proper place.
Bottles of any sort are not permitted on the bus. You are welcome to bring cans and plastic bottles. There will be garbage bags on the bus but please be mindful of any trash you create. Make sure your trash makes it into the proper place.
TICKET DISTRIBUTION
Tickets will be handed out by me in Philadelphia. I’m waiting until we get to Philadelphia to do this because I do not want to waste time handing out tickets in Arlington, RFK, New Carrollton, or the Maryland House when we could be enjoying the atmosphere with fellow USA Supporters in Philadelphia.
BEHAVIOR AT THE STADIUM
The Screaming Eagles will not wait around for any one who is detained by Security or the Police for misconduct inside or outside the stadium. If this should happen you will be left at the stadium and will have to find your own way home if you are not released in time to make it back to the bus.
DEPARTURE FROM PHILADELPHIA
The bus will leave IMMEDIATELY after the match. As soon as the match is over everyone will have 20 minutes to get back to the bus. There are a tremendous amount of people who are going to the DC United vs. Chivas match back in DC. Please make sure you are back on time…THE BUS WILL LEAVE WITHOUT YOU!
SPREAD THE LOVE
If you have purchased a “ticket/bus” package or “seat only” package for more than one person please forward this to him or her. If you know of anyone else needing a “bus only” package we still have about 30 slots left.
Thank you in advance, if you need any other information please do not hesitate to reach me directly at roadtrips@screaming-eagles.com
