North American Tour

[ChiTownSpurs]

the stadium is also about an hour from the city, in a shit suburb.

 

[LarryCatt]

Not just Seattle but Portland and Vancouver too. Something about the Pacific North West!

I just think that people from Seattle view themselves as perhaps a bit different and a bit more European than other US cities and see football as a way of expressing those differences?

Apologies for the sweeping generalisations!

Looks awesome, but "Oh When The Spurs' was sung SO fast. Oh well, we really don't get enough practice over here.

 

[VirginiaSpur]

Has it really? I have wondered since moving here in 2010 as I see the draw in the other 2 of the big 3 sports, baseball is really weak in comparison, how has it fallen away? Certain demographics or geography?

I just don't think that it has captivated the younger generations as it did with the baby boomers and before.

Combined with the endless scandals and steroid controversies, I just think that the game has lost its magic.

I'll be in Chicago. Great group there. Atlantic Bar festivities > the friendly

I'm going to the Chicago game as well. I don't like Atlantic, but I'm going wherever there will be planned events.

Does anyone have a list of events going on or a schedule for the Chicago game?

Here is all the info! See you in July

Awesome, thanks! Well, I guess I'm headed to the Atlantic that evening. Meeting the King would be a hell of a birthday present!

Car load of us travelling down from Vancouver to Seattle, how long will it take?

Around two and a half hours...

 

[Deuce]

Hoping to get down to Chicago for the match.

Hoping to get down to Chicago for the match.

Down to Chicago? Makes me shiver just reading that.

Down to Chicago? Makes me shiver just reading that.

Im only a 2 hr drive north of Chicago, so it could be worse.

Any of the others I met in Lisbon going?

Very cool that you'll be there as well. Yeah, a few that you met there, and quite a few others if everyone who bought tickets actually make the trip.

 

[Spurs in Belgium]

Got my tickets for Seattle, bargain at $18 each.

 

[Texas_Spur]

30 of us coming from Nashville Spurs. Also, buy your "pub to pitch" tickets for $10 round trip from the Atlantic to Toyota Park. And, yes, you can drink on the bus (just no glass).

Yeah was just looking at that, seems like a great idea. I mean, definitely don't want to lose any drinking time!

 

[Mensa]

There's not shit around Toyota Park, but there will be some serious tailgating going on. I plan to bring a twelver on the bus and drink on my way there and hang out with the tailgaters when I get there.

......if invited ochserious2:

 

[Texas_Spur]

Has there been any press about what players will be on the roster for the tour?

You mean squad ;-)

#pedantic

 

[Spurs in Belgium]

The bus leaves for the park 3 hours before kickoff, do you know of any bars around the Toyota Park area we can go drink at? Or would there be some sort of Spurs tailgate?

F**** that I'm used to leaving the pub 15 minutes before KO. Need to find a decent bar to meet up in.

 

[GloryGlory]

I've never been to Seattle, but a little research suggests that it's roughly a 20ish minute walk from downtown? Someone correct me if I'm wrong

 

[InTheCity]

Heads up to those part of an official supporters club...we got 2 tickets for a "meet the team" autograph session after the open training on Friday. We did a random draw, and this guy won! Fuck yea!
