Tailgate Primer 3.9.19

Our match day will start at 12 noon, with a tailgate at Bessie Estelle Park. The park sits behind the BBVA Compass Field complex and is located at 901 8th St S. However, we will be making our way into the pregame plaza once gates open at 4pm to continue our gathering inside the stadium complex.

If you selected pickup when you ordered your 2019 Brigade membership, you can pick up your scarf and membership card at the tailgate.

TAILGATE AT BESSIE ESTELLE BEGINS: 12:00 PM
PREGAME GATHERING IN THE PLAZA: 4:00 PM
MARCH TO THE SUPPORTERS SECTION: 5:30 PM
GAME KICKS OFF: 6:00 PM

PARKING
• Parking is limited in the immediate area around the park so arrive early to secure the best spots
• If you have a season ticket parking pass you can use one of the team lots and walk over, but be advised that the park is about a 10-minute walk away - we are working with the team to confirm when these lots are opening, so look out for more information on that later this week

FOOD AND DRINK
• Please bring your own beverages, and be prepared to use solo cups
• We will be providing hotdogs and snacks
• Please feel free to bring your own food, particularly if you have special dietary requirements

STADIUM ENTRY
• We have a special entry gate at the back of the stadium complex, down the access road that links Bessie Estelle Park and the stadium. While you are welcome to remain back at the park to continue tailgating, we invite you to enter the stadium when gates open at 4pm to be a part of our gathering in the pregame plaza. There, we will continue to hang out and practice our chants and songs ahead of kickoff

MARCH TO THE SUPPORTERS SECTION
• At around 5:30pm, we will gather to march en masse to the supporters section, circling inside the plaza before making our way down the path behind the goal at the scoreboard end of the stadium and into our section
