RULES FOR INVADING THE HOUSE THAT SHEIKH MANSOUR RENTS
First let us thank you for being part of the over 1,600 RBNY supporters headed over to Smurflandia to sing, chant and cheer our boys in white to victory over that other team. Below you will find all the details you will need to get to the stadium on Sunday.
YOU MUST...
WEAR RED CLOTHING FOR THIS GAME
PRINT OUT YOUR TICKET AND MAKE SURE YOU BRING IT WITH YOU
GENERAL INFORMATION
NYCFC SCARVES - MAN CITY LITE TEES
We will have a bunch of the NYCFC SCARVES if you haven't purchased yours yet you will be able to buy them at a special game day price! Bring cash with you to get hooked up! We will also have some of the RED MAN CITY LITE tees for purchase for $15 if you wish to jump on that opportunity and not pay shipping for it.
GREAT HALL ENTRY POINT We will be entering thru the GREAT HALL entrance and will have 7-8 metal detectors dedicated to our group. This will expedite your entry. If you come late, be prepared to be mixed in with everyone else and have a much longer wait to get thru security. The RED AREA is prohibited to our members so don't go there or you will be fined - nothing more to be said about it. Please remember that you will have all your bags checked and you will be going thru a metal detector, this means you will need to take everything out of your pockets otherwise plan on getting special treatment from security if you set off alarms! Be prepared to be patted down and have a wand type of detector passed around your body as well.
SECTION SELF POLICING
If you have an issue with someone or something please alert one of the RBNY supporter leaders or any RBNY staff you see before taking matters into your own hands. We will attempt to get you sorted or situation diffused before any official NYCFC security has to step in. If the situation is already at a heightened level, NYCFC security will act first and ask questions later, so please use your head and let us know before its too late.
FOOD
You can't bring much with you but you can bring a clear plastic grocery type bag with food in it and up to 1 liter sof sealed water with you upon entry. There will be concessions throughout the sections as well as restrooms. Restrooms are located at: Women's - 310 & 319 Men's - 317 & 321 Family - 311 & 316
SEATING
We will be seated in section 308 -320A . Seating is general admission so you dont have to sit in the location your ticket says as long as it's in any of those sections and the seat is empty. For those families and those with small children that would like to chill and not be part of the craziness, we ask that you head to SECTION 320A. This section has been designated as the family section, we can add the section next to it if need be.
SWEARING
This is something that will get you a quick warning with the second one being officially ejected and a personal escort out of the stadium with possible sanctions against you back at Red Bull Arena. SMOKE BOMBS are strictly prohibited so don't get caught lighting one off, we would suggest not tempting fate and leaving them at home. If you get caught you will without a doubt be banned at RBA.
