Beyond the stuff that is part of the supporters summitt has anyone heard about what might be going on that MLSE/MLS is putting on, ie a fan fest, parties etc like what happened at the All-Star game.

I am also interested to see if DeRo throws a jam like he did at the ASG, now that was a party, classy, intimate affair, only about a 100 or so people.

If the SoccerGods smile on the Galaxy this Sunday..... (just typing that I feel like I'm jinxing it), there will be Gs fans headed your way.

Would love to have any and all info of events so that we can RSVP/etc the second that whistle blows Sunday night. (I'm sure there are plenty of Dallas, San Jose, and Colorado fans wanting info as well.)

We always love when you guys make the pilgrimage to LAX, and we're hoping to return the favour.

thanks

^It's sad that we have zero info on what essentially is the super bowl of north american soccer, and its only a week away. No promotion, no itenirary, nothing. Is MLSE in charge of this or MLS?

Seriously, I can't believe there is absolutely zero information, marketing, or promotion about this event. What happened to all this talk about events at Maple Leaf Square during the weekend?? Where's all the vents to showcase city of Toronto??

I swear I heard all of that said when the MLS Cup was announced it was coming here.

If I was Garber, or any future commissioner, I would never give MLSE/TFC ths MLS Cup again.

on the phone with TFC now. .

Will be putting a list of events that are open to the public and sending to my email.
They will appear. on TFC website next week. . . . or so. .
No mention on Young Dundas Square
There will be game day events at BMO/CNE


I Talked to Bria
She suggested the 90th Minute party of course.. .

I will post the moment I get the info.
We as RPBs should be planning something as well. . something that involves Booze. .
something that does NOT involve Joes. . .

I mean I would inviite everyone to my place buyt.. its not THAT big.
If we can organize, and sponsior something official that woudl rock.

RPB OFFICIAL MLS CUP AFTER PARTY AT MOD CLUB

The email about the special MLS Cup tickets that SSH's are getting says they will be arriving as early as this afternoon. Anyone know if there will be anything other than a paper ticket? I thought it would have been good to do a MLS Cup scarf or something like we get on opening day of the season. Since it is being shipped by Purolator I figure it could be.

Note to bardgal, I actually hope LA and San Jose can come and have the battle of California here (my wish)....make sure you bring lots of layers of clothing...can't believe the game is at night in November.

Battle of Cali sounds cool - as long as it's not Chivas. Gots to get past Sunday first.

Definitely prepared for COLD. We were in Seattle last year, and I've been to Vancouver & the UK plenty of times in the dead of winter. No worries. It will be a nice change from the usual 80° days at the end of November. :D

there was an ad in the sun this week with the winner of that contest.
had logos/descriptions of the semifinal matchups ... and info on matthew (not so) good playing pre-game in the parking lot.
and that's pretty much it.

party on, eh?

Mine arrived today. No special package for the event. What you receive is the ticket specially designed for the event.

There is absolutely nothing on the MLS website about the Cup events. Maybe they are waiting until after the playoffs are done. That strikes me as bizarre.

11-12-2010, 11:27 AM
Full-page ad in today's Sun.
"Soccer Celebration" ... 4 p.m. start ... no admission required ... outside Gate 1.

-- "Soccer tricks and demonstrations"
-- 6 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. ... autograph signing with Cann and Harden.
-- 6 p.m. ... live performance by Matthew Good

Sounds pretty tame and lame to me.

Let's face it folks, if TFC had have been at the MLS Cup final, all those 'Lame' event's would take on a different light, wouldn't they, I on the other hand are going to enjoy the day out and watch some decent football at BMO.

I have made the arrangements for the Saturday night. Tonight I wil post all the details and share them across the interwebs for visiting supporters groups to join in .
Guestlist secured.
Graphics Agreed.
11:00 Sat Night at Mod club. College Street, Toronto
Mark your calendars. .

after party in Phonzos pants.
Bring dudes and lubes. . .

Seems pretty weak on the party front, considering it's suppose to be a celebration of soccer.

Most of the parties during the Grey Cup week started with a bathtub full of beer, an open hotel room door, and some friendly people with music. ex. Spirit of Edmonton party.
Now instead of bathtub's full of beer, the Spirit of Edmonton now uses Hot Tub's (In the case of last year in Calgary - 3 full of ice and beer to start the night)

Just giving some suggestions :)

Didn't Seattle Paint the space needle and make a big deal out of the cup?

MLSE has chosen to have the Cup at a stupidly late time at the end of November near the lake... and then the city of Toronto has barely made a whisper about it.

MLSE, the MLS and Don Garber should be ashamed.

Friday at the Football Factory is pretty much at capacity.

Saturday at Joe's is still on.

Sunday Q&A and Supporters Shield Presentation still has some space too.

Given that RPB is organizing for more than just RPB members, presumably there is information other than in a private member-only thead.

So it'll have no effect on MLS Cup.

Just playing in the game will, as posted above, take away mainstream attention - if the Argos win the game, some Toronto sports segments might not even mention the MLS Cup at all...

not so much an MLS cup event, but the 90 min party and tonights Hugo Boss 'right to play were outstanding, many of the team showed up at both events, but tonight at the Boss store had amazing chat for 30-45 mins with THE man Gargan, along with DeRo, Santos, and Conway.....What class, it's like talkin to to your brother, loads of frank insights, god these guys really are gentlemen and love playing here.......how can I ever be critical, argh, they feel in many ways the as we do on many topics.....but I won't quote 'now,' out of fairness........bring on the cup...........DeRo was sincerely flattered meeting him, wearing our RPB DeRo player of the year scarf.The only one showing colours at Hugo's, someone had to display.......I'm juiced even if Ford's Toronto is dropping the ball....."get used to it"......maybe just maybe, some visiting supporters will bring their game....

In 1 1/2 hrs they signed 3 autographs for the waitresses and sipped Budweisers while the rest of the Adult Contemporary IT crowd watched hockey. Toronto knows how to throw a Cup party.
