NJB BUS TRIP to DC
10/14/09 - USA vs COSTA RICA


PLEASE NOTE: THE BUS IS NOW SOLD OUT.

Based off the success of our first bus trip to Washington, DC last October, we will be running another bus trip this year to DC for the Wednesday October 14th World Cup Qualifier vs Costa Rica. This game could mean the difference between going to the World Cup and watching it from home.

The cost of the trip will be $85, which will also include a ticket in the US Supporters Section ($45 value). We have 50 seats on the bus and they will be available on a first come, first server basis.

Chef Leon will be preparing the tailgate and will we feast on Tacos before we feast on the Ticos.

**If the bus is sold out, everyone will be able to partake in the tailgate for free.
Otherwise, there will be a nominal fee of $5 to enjoy the good eats.

We will be showing the classic 97 WCQ vs Costa Rica in Portland, Oregon on the way down and will be showing 'Miracle Match' (the movie of the 1950 USA World Cup Team) on the way home. We will also have some prizes, including a 1990 US replica jersey and a 50/50 raffle the way down.

For those of you who went last year and even those who did not, click here to check out our match report and pictures to remind you of what a good time we all had. Makes you want to go, doesn't it??

If you are unable to go to DC with us, but would like to donate to support the cause, your donations will go towards the purchase of streamers, flag maintenance and any costs/losses the NJB may incur.
