TIPPING THE DRIVER
​We are not taking ACADEMY buses since they are all booked working the marathon so we will have a new company with new drivers - so lets make sure we take care of them as we always do for them taking care of us. We recommend at least $5 per person. The better we tip these guys the less we will have to deal with and they will want to work our trips again in the future.
RFK STADIUM
PARKING
Parking at RBA Stadium will be in Lot #3 and will cost $20 per car and $45 per bus.
TAILGATE
We will be tailgating as always and we are asking for $5 per person (to offset cost) for all you can eat and drink until everything is gone.
TICKET PICKUP
Game tickets will be picked up in LOT #3 during the tailgate.
They will not be mailed so don't be late if you want your game tickets.
SEATING
We are sitting in Section 426(ish) in the stadium.
Seating will be in the sections around 426 - YES those are in the upper deck and we will be the only ones allowed up there. So make sure you get those game tickets thru our link or the RACOON UNITED link (Promo Code: NYRB) once we take ours down.
SMOKING
All smoking and E-cigs are only allowed in the smoking area only .
None will be allowed in the section. No Selfie Sticks or Go Pros allowed in the stadium as well. To avoid issues, just don't bring them .
PROBLEM SOLVING
If you have an issue or problem with anybody - including Security, DC fans, eachother, etc, please notify a group leader/board member so the issue can be handled and we then also know about it - if we don't know about a situation, we therefore can not help you with a solution.
You do anything stupid at RFK Stadium causing your official ejection and/or police to be involved, you can and/or will be suspended/ banned from RBA as well by the RBNY FO and/or disciplined by the Viking Army SC Board as well.
A reminder if you have an issue with anything or anyone please let your Bus Leader and/or Board Member know. Again without you bringing it to our attention, we don't know about it - meaning it is of non-importamce to you to notify anybody of the problem to do something about it.
DRUNK TANK
If you are intoxicated - you will not be allowed into RFK or if they see you in an intoxicated state inside the stadium, you will be escorted out.
POST GAME
At the end of the game we will be held in the section as usual for 15-20 minutes.
HAVE FUN
Last but not least , lets have a bunch of fun as usual on a Viking Army SC road trip. If you are a Road Trip Virgin, no need to worry - you will be back.
