Fort Lauderdale Strikers Pub Crawl.

Do you know what a "Pub Crawl" is? Well, if you've ever been "Club Hopping" before it's the same concept except this starts at 9:30 AM and involves going to Pubs, watching the best Soccer in the world and drinking beer!
The Fort Lauderdale Strikers invite you their first ( And I hope not last) Pub Crawl!
Everyone meets at Fort Lauderdale Stadium (Behind Lockhart Stadium) this Saturday March 5th at 9:30 AM, then we get on a bus... and the bus is FREE! We proceed to hit 3 local pubs, all in an effort to support the Strikers! 
The only thing you need to do is contact Tommy Knapp and reserve your spot. But hurry before the bus gets full! For more details check out the flyer below. Remember, the bus ride is FREE! Go Strikers!

Cheerleaders to the rescue!

Miami FC has been working on getting fans to FIU Stadium and one strategy is to work with the FIU Cheerleaders.

FIU recently had a budget reduction which affected the Cheerleaders and other Athletic Department programs. I was able to get in touch with Tommy Knapp, Director of Tickets/Hospitality for Miami FC and he pointed out the following:

First, the FIU Cheerleaders will be at the games from here on to help raise funds for their program through a number of initiatives. They will be cheering at the remainder of our home games. They will be selling tickets to Miami FC home games on campus and in the S FLA community. They will also be joining in promotional outings such as festivals, soccer related tournaments, charity events, etc. The objective is to join forces and develop greater awareness, community support and revenue streams for both organizations.There are 42 girls on the team who will all be involved, with 15 of them acting as the main Miami FC cheer team. The team is lead by Maria George, a former Dolphin cheerleader.
