We come to most Eagles games here. We've got four fans here now and I expect four more to join us. There should be quite a few here tonight, but I wouldn't expect any problems. The Eagles have a strong base in D.C., so we should be OK.

We've started well this year in big games. It got our fans into it and got our kids going early.

The Red Bulls are committed to entertaining our fans before, during and after our games.

But the fans want competitive games, and to be honest so do the players and the backroom staff.

At Smith, we're hoping to triple or quadruple the numbers of fans at our games.

There is, as well, a consumer issue at stake here. Fans have purchased tickets for Eagles' games, in Philadelphia and elsewhere, on the assumption that they will see one of the game's most exciting receivers, so long as he is healthy enough to play. The Eagles' action denies them this opportunity.
