Good Night
I'm absolutely torn on RFK. It has great history and I love old buildings like that where you go to watch the game and not do a million other things on the concourse. On the other hand, the place has gotten out of hand and there was literally no reason to put you up there. As bad as United has been with the place the city has been even worse with letting all of it slide.

That was ridiculous. I thought we were going to bring that section down during some of the chants.

I was in the small covered section just beneath the supporters for pretty much the first half. That whole area was shaking like crazy. Ended up moving to the other end where it was fine. Asked others who were around midfield and they said they felt the shaking all the way from there. It's ridiculous and I'm almost amazed there was no issue.
I sat in that supporters section last year and it was totally fine. Glanced down at that area yesterday and it was barely filled. No reason they couldn't have relocated/not sold the few in that area to other open seats and put the supporters there.

As each day goes by, I care less and less because ultimately we left there with a victory... but the lack of stability concerning the section plus the fact that the women's bathroom flooded on the first flush, there were broken seats and broken pieces of concrete everywhere, lead paint chips flying, and so on makes me think that DC United should hear about the situation they put us in.

Personally I like the view up there more anyway then being downstairs in that **** hole. I'm glad I drove down, it was a fun time.
I am trying to find the link for a video... but someone on the Red Bulls staff shot a video of the team walking off the field after the game saluting us... Lloyd Sam says "is that **** going to fall?" referring to us shaking the entire upper deck haha.

Miazga being scouted by Chelsea among other epl squads. Wouldn't surprise me if Lawrence is gone this winter too.

How often do the PATH trains run through Harrison after the game?
Thinking of catching both the Red Bulls and Devils games this Sunday...

I don't take the trains so I'm not sure but the walk from arena to arena isn't bad. If the line isn't too bad I'm also going to take the yellow school bus shuttle bus over to Newark Penn to try to save some time.
I figure we will miss the first period no matter what and half of the second period if the game goes to overtime.

Also, is there parking on the other side of the bridge?
Not the side with the arena but the side that Newark Penn Station is on. I always see people walking from there but never know where the parking lots are in that area of Newark.

Good Night
Last I saw the Red Bulls aren't starting until 3:22 so you're going to miss a good chunk of the hockey game
Yes plenty of parking on that side of the bridge. I use the restaurant Iberia when i'm on that side. 10$ but you get a 10$ credit to use at the restaurant.
Yeah parking is pretty easy. I'm gonna actually Park near the rock tomorrow so it's easier to get out after the Devils game and I'm just gonna walk to RBA from there. It's really not a bad walk and with the way traffic is getting out of RBA sometimes it will take me just as much time to just walk to the rock. It's like a 15-20 minute walk depending on how fast you walk.

Looks like Josh Harris/David Blitzer are back in again for an ownership stake of Crystal Palace:

Looks like Crystal Palace deal from Blitzer/Harris is definitely happening. Steve Parish, the Crystal Palace CEO was just on SkySports and said "very serious" talks are in progress with "David and Josh". Says reported deal pretty much correct. He will remain in day-to-day charge, plus other three owners also staying on. Much broader investment base, all involved will put in money to develop the ground.

And more media outlets are reporting it now as well. Two of England's most respected writers, Neil Ashton and Dominic Fifield(kind of like their Bob McKenzies) are confirming the accounts as well:

Obviously, as a Crystal Palace fan, this has me very excited. Perhaps we'll get some friendlies at Red Bull Arena?
