Johnnie Soccer Alumni,
As I sit here in minus 15 degree weather it is almost hard to imagine that any sane person would move back to live in this state! Well, my family and I made the decision to move back to the land of 10,000 lakes after spending almost 20 years in Baltimore, MD. One of the main reasons we moved back was to be closer to family and our longtime friends.
This fall I had the opportunity to reconnect with a few of my fellow close Johnnie Soccer alums at a game vs Augsburg and in doing so started to wonder how we have all lost touch. I loved getting to spend quality time reconnecting with guys who gave it their all on the field and if you hung with me off the field you can remember giving more than your all during many late nights…studying of course.
I know we all have commitments with family, kid’s sports, work etc. so I understand the sometimes getting up to see a match in Collegeville can be a challenge. That is why we felt it might be a good opportunity for the Johnnie Soccer Alums to get together and watch an MNUFC game at Allianz field this spring. Eric Hendrickson was kind enough through his connections with the Loons to reserve a large block of 51 tickets for the game vs. the LA Galaxy on Saturday, April 11th @ 7pm CST. We have seats directly behind the goal/brew hall for $30. For those so inclined, we will start “railgating” at 5:00 at Surly Brewing. Parking there is free and then we can hop the Light Rail to Allianz.
Click here to buy your tickets soon as they will go fast!
This is going to be a Johnnie Soccer Alum event only this time around, so no families due to the limited number of tickets. If we can get a good group together, I’d like to look at bringing our families up later this fall on a bus to root on the good guys in RED!!!!
