SECAUCUS, N.J. - Red Bull New York President and General Manager Alexi Lalas announced today that the club will offer a free trip to Washington, DC on April 2 for fans who wish to support the Red Bulls as they take on their rival D.C. United in both clubs' opening game of the 2006 season. Fans who participate in the trip will receive free transportation to and from the match, a ticket to the game and inclusion in an exclusive pre-game tailgate. There is no cost to fans to participate in this, but space is limited.
"There's a Red Bull stampede headed for our nation's capital!" said Lalas. "It's going to be a party before, during and after the game. In a time of change, we can all take comfort in the inherent pleasure that comes from beating up on D.C. United."
