Might be fun to walk over for Saturday since we finally do not have anything going on that night.  What time will you be at the tailgate, Ruf? 

[TulsaRufnex]

I'm probably going to hold out til 5:30 or 6pm since the weather's so hot, and I'm a wimp...
Two tailgates, lotsa food... David starts his at 4:30 and it's all in the front parking... as parking may be at a premium, doing the tailgate also gives you a decent parking spot, lol.

OKChive posted this event on Facebook.... Tulsa has voted - and the old Drillers stadium is coming down. This is the loving home to Tulsa Athletics Soccer Team- and they plan to play one of the last games of the season in the stadium in ABSOLUTE STYLE!

Saturday, June 25th - wear PINK and come out for a chance to say goodbye to one of Tulsa's iconic locations, Say "Until Next year" to The Tulsa Athletics Group, and have a blast! Up to 200 tickets will be available for a $1 donation- which will then turn around be donated for Breast Cancer research.

Tailgaiting is starting at 4:30 (Tailgaiting with The Armory is FUNNNNNNNN)!)
Gates Open at 6:30
Game Starts @ 7:30

Be one of the first 200 to get with us before the game and we will collect the $1 and in you go! After the 200 - don't be sad! Tickets are only $7! This is a WONDERFUL family event with bouncy houses, live music and SOCCER!!!!

Hope to see you all there!

Tonight's match between First Place Tulsa Athletics and second place FC Wichita starts at 7:30 tonight and tickets are now ONE DOLLAR!!!!
That's right, one buck... donations will be taken at the stadium, proceeds benefit BCAP & Oklahoma Project Woman (our 3rd straight year!)
Top of the page describes some of the parking situation so either come early or look at the secondary parking off 21st Street... big tailgate starts later this afternoon.

Most important soccer game in recent Tulsa history. Wouldn't miss it. Important on so many layers.

[shavethewhales]

Finally made it to an Athletics game, and I'm glad I did. The playing was excellent. Really nice to see a team that has it all together.

The atmosphere was a lot better than I expected too. I like the food trucks and little beer garden area. Going to be tough to find a new facility that is as flexible as this one.

Huge win. 2nd ranked team in NPSL right now.

I think the stadium situation might end up better listening to some folks.

Thursday night friendly, Saturday night final regular season game against Ft Worth Vaqueros, hosting playoffs the following Saturday July 9th and Sunday July 10th for the conference championship... 7:30pm game times for all remaining matches... tickets are $7, all General Admission

Republican Jesus and Chuck Norris want YOU to come see our final regular season home game against the Fort Worth Vaqueros tonight... I've gotta work, damn.
We will be hosting playoffs next weekend... stay tuned.

[TulsaRufnex]

Last night, FC Wichita won its playoff game... and looky... their local media actually covers them (unlike the A's unless we're talking about the stadium shutting down).
http://www.kwch.com/content/sports/FC-Wichita-knocks-off-Shreveport-in-playoffs-385787201.html

We will host playoffs this Saturday & Sunday... FC Wichita will play 2nd place Houston Dutch Lions at 3:30pm while we will play 5th place Liverpool Warriors (who beat the 4th place team last night) at 7:30pm... winners of Saturday's games will play for the conference championship on Sunday at 7:30pm.
Tickets are $7 and are general admission other than seats marked with names of season ticket holders...
