Hello Fran,

It’s official: the Revs will finish this season higher than the last – second in the East – and have the home-field advantage in the Conference Semifinals. But there’s still one more game: the last home game of the regular season, this Saturday against Toronto. A win has CONCACAF Champions League implications, and the pre-and-post-game festivities will be worth the trip as well:

We’ll be having an Oktoberfest-themed tailgate before the game, so bring your best lederhosen – or just whatever beer, sausages, or other Oktoberfest-ish things and meet us in the supporters’ lots. There will be an MLS film crew at the tailgate lots, and in the Fort, filming supporters for an upcoming piece called “For the Love of the Crest.” Let’s show them who the Riders are, and what New England supporter culture is about.

Don’t have tickets? Want to get more and bring your friends? We’ve got you covered. Go here and use special code RIDERS for discounted Fort tickets – purchase deadline is noon Saturday. Then…

Get. On. The. Bus. That’s right, we’ve got a bus headed to the last game. Get your spot at that link (deadline noon Thursday) with password 8ef4197af9c to join us on the road, in the lots, and in the Fort. The bus will not go unless it crosses the signup threshold, so make sure you get yours before noon Thursday!

Then stick around after the final whistle because the Man of the Year will be announced after the game, at the front of the Fort. The award was determined by Riders’ Man of the Match voting all year long at the Member Portal. Make sure to be there as we cheer for the Riders’ top pick this season and celebrate another improved regular season.
