I don't know everyone's names, but I know Cai is in there. Being right behind the visitors' bench presents all kinds of opportunities for good heckling. Slowly but surely the stadium is gaining some atmosphere thanks in large part to these groups Chamo mentions.

I try to spend a portion of every game with Guardia Roja (be sure to check their website with the sound turned on) and my season tickets are at the top of 108. If I could get down to rows 1 and 2 of 126 I'd probably join Los Toros. They are all good groups!

I do urge everyone to join a group, or start your own, or both. Permit me to also put in a plug for tailgating before (and often after!) the games. The largest is the Inferno-you will be welcome there, and you can find others throughout the parking lots. My experience, since 1996, is that you will be welcome at them all, whether you can speak their language or not! Chamo, very good article & info.

It'd be great to coordinate between Guardia Roja and Los Toros as the season progresses (and we get big enough to be heard)... Funny stuff, Uptown. With starting a new SG on the Sidelines, I feel like you must all the time.

Funny stuff, Uptown. With starting a new SG on the Sidelines, I feel like you must all the time.

He has had an all-access press pass since he started 3rd Degree. I am a member of Guardia Roja. Buzz has offered to get me a press pass before, but I have never taken him up on it for two reasons. One, I'm not a "real" journalist, and two I like watching the games standing with a drum in front of me. Steve, your welcome. Skeeter,

We will be seen at FCD "Norris Division" games in Chicago, Columbus and Toronto. We're a new group, made up of just one fan, but we're accepting new members all the time.

We'll be down in front in 126, Rows 1-2, trying to get the Sideline East fans to get into the action every once in a while. It's not too late for people to join us -- write me (stevetoro@los-toros.com) for info. Thanks for the link to the Los-Toros site.

Which group if any do you belong to?

Do you have a perch in the press box or have you been able to score yourself an on-field pass?
