By the way, MLS Commish Garber has retracted his original statement (May 9) that streamers are part of the game atmosphere. The new statement (June 6) prohibits throwing objects (including streamers) at players, especially while taking corner kicks.

yeah the ohio people never really responded but they are bringing a bus up.

I got some more stuff for the games.

I have the South Africa and Trinidad Flags. We got some more streamers for the heck of it as well as a ton of balloons. For the balloons I am blowing them up and writing GO BUCKS and the website for the Herd on them.

I have a full car load of people, and possibly more that may need a ride...


Does the MLS streamer rule apply to us?

Oh yea, I also made a couple signs too.

Eh the MLS rule doesn't directly affect us, and its not so much a rule yet as it is a strict suggestion...TFC fans have already complained and are going to continue to do it anyways. I would say we could use it more for celebrations instead of throwing at the players but we will se.

I got up early this morning for it, but I got the Michigan flag, and I got two 6' flagpoles, too. Not sure if that Bucks one will fit, but we'll see when we get there. Stef, I need you to bring more string to tie these things on later.

No, you can't have Cedar Point! But we are glad to have you visit

Prepare yourselves for a good old fashioned clinic this evening, because The Stars will not be shining on you!

Seriously, I am a little worried with your previous US Cup appearances...seems you like to play above your division.

The City Stars are on a roll this season though and we've got great teamwork that can find the back of the net.

My son and I are not driving three hours to lose, but I would like to take you up on the tailgate offer when we get there

I don't know when the Green Army bus is arriving...

Best wishes for a great game,

Steve
