SALT LAKE CITY (Thursday, October 11, 2007) - Real Salt Lake is inviting its loyal fans to join members of its front office staff in bringing the Rocky Mountain Cup back to Utah next weekend, as the club is offering a "Rocky Mountain Cup Road Trip" travel package for RSL's season-ending showdown at the Colorado Rapids next Saturday, Oct. 20. For $65, RSL supporters will receive a round-trip charter bus seat and a ticket to the expected sell-out affair at Dick's Sporting Goods Park. A limited-time offer for hotel accommodations on that Saturday evening is also being extended to the RSL travel party (details below).
"Come join us as we ride the Rockies and make a run for the Rocky Mountain Cup," said RSL General Manger Garth Lagerwey. "We look forward to a fun trip and one we hope to make a tradition as this rivalry continues to grow."
The two-day trip will begin early on the morning of Saturday, Oct. 20, when the fan bus will depart the RSL offices (located in the Trolley Corners building at 515 S. 700 East in Salt Lake City) at 6:00 a.m. The bus will arrive at the trip's hotel headquarters, the Fairfield Inn - Airport in Denver (6851 Tower Road) for a brief stopover before heading to Dick's Sporting Goods Park for the 7:00 p.m. kick-off. The fan bus will make it a "two-for-one" weekend on Sunday by heading back to Dick's Sporting Goods Park for the MLS Reserve Division contest between the RMC rivals before heading back for Salt Lake City, with an expected return time at the RSL office of 9:00 p.m. A full Rocky Mountain Cup Road Trip itinerary is included below.
Approximately 50 seats remain on the bus, so fans are encouraged to take advantage of this offer early to ensure their spot for the trip. Fans wishing to reserve their spot for the Rocky Mountain Cup Road Trip are asked to contact Teresa Nelson in the RSL office at 801-924-8565 or via email at tnelson@realsaltlake.com by no later than Thursday, Oct. 18 at 5:00 p.m. MT.
In addition to the bus and ticket package, Real Salt Lake has also worked with the Fairfield Inn to secure a special room rate for the Saturday night stay. RSL fans can reserve a room with two queen size beds for just $99 (plus tax), which also includes a complementary continental breakfast on Sunday morning.
