That part of town? this has been mentioned before.. 23rd and May is hardly a rough area.

Doesn't seem like it will be too much of a problem, as I've read that the supporter section is already sold out for the first game...

Shhhh, Bullbear! Don't tell anybody anything different. I mean, do you really *want* a bunch of Edmondites hanging around our 'hood?

Our neighbors (who are sadly moving to Dallas) have Energy season tix for sale, they're asking $650 for the pair which includes 2 tickets plus VIP parking at all home games. Retail is over $1000 (per the owner, not verified by me). PM me if interested and I can put y'all in touch. I'd have snapped them up but we're out of town quite a bit this summer so unlikely that we can make it to all the home games! Spread the word!

Half million, to million dollar house about 6 blocks south...

Energy FC

OKLAHOMA CITY – OKC Energy FC and Anheuser-Busch announced today a multi-year partnership that makes Budweiser and Bud Light the official domestic beer for OKC Energy FC.

Inside the stadium, soccer fans of age may purchase Bud and Bud Light at all concession stands as well as at the Green Club and at locations within the stands.

“The number one item we received feedback on during our inaugural season was that we should sell beer,” said Prodigal president Jeff Ewing. “This season, we can meet the needs of the fans at Energy FC games. Adding Bud and Bud Light as our official domestic beer partner offers a new element for our soccer fans to enjoy the game, but also to enjoy it responsibly.”

Anheuser-Busch joins companies like Mass Mutual Oklahoma, McDonald’s, Chick-Fil-A, AT&T, Loves, Buffalo Wild Wings on NW Expressway, Bob Bartley Electric, AT&T, as well as founding partners Mercy, Kickapoo Casino and First Fidelity Bank as proud partners of Energy FC.

Energy FC’s home opener is April 18 against Seattle Sounders 2 at historic Taft Stadium.

Not sure I really care to have that segment be part of the fan base anyhow. I want people passionate about soccer. FYI my wife is a future soccer mom (in the true form) and we're almost Edmond and we don't miss games.

**bradh** · 04-15-2015, 12:49 PM

I sure hope that AB agreement doesn't mean they are ONLY going to have Bud Heavy and Bood Light as the only beers available.

From what I can tell on the website, there are < 200 single game tickets left with all sections sold out except for 15, 16, 17, 20, 21. If that's accurate, I'm pretty excited.

That is the most absurd comment I've ever heard.

Agree!

If they don't feel safe on 23rd & May; what makes him think Edmond is all that safe. Suggest that these so-called afraid of Taft Stadium area soccer moms shelter themselves in Edmond, call for services that pick-up and deliver.

**elitespy** · 04-15-2015, 02:21 PM

YES!! I was hoping Anthem would pick them up.

Hahaha is this a joke? Since when does anyone care what soccer moms anywhere think? I'd love to see the reactions of those soccer moms when their kids joined the Grid (assuming they would even dare venture into gritty, dirty OKC).

Is that for all home games or just the home opener? Either way, that's impressive indeed!

**C. B.** · 04-15-2015, 03:12 PM

I've noticed the Energy twitter account seems to be the only USL team not screaming from the mountaintops that they have, or are close to, a sellout. Seems odd that they won't mention tickets sold. Makes me think it won't be full, who knows. I'll be there.

**C. B.** · 04-15-2015, 03:19 PM

Really excited to be able to drink a local craft beer in Anthem all summer at Taft. It's going to be a great season!

Yes. I've questioned them multiple times about it on twitter and they've been oddly tight lipped for some reason. I don't understand why?

Just the home opener from what I could tell.

If you go on the site, it will show open seats when you are selecting which one to buy. I did that for every section it had open on the site. Not super accurate but close.

I was at Skinny Slims last night for the USA vs. Mexico match. Tyler, a ticket agent for the Energy, was there set up and I chatted with him for a while. He's a great guy and can help anyone out with tickets. He was saying that all East side tickets are sold for the opener. There are small pockets left on the West side. This was in reference to the home opener.

Tyler's a good dude, he's our rep

Just checked the same way you just did, section by section on the ticketing website and there appear to be about 40 tickets remaining but they're all $37-$44 which seems pretty pricey to me. I hope that's accurate because the stadium should be rocking this weekend!

**turnpup** · 04-18-2015, 11:50 AM

On the way home I noticed they were setting up for tonight's game. I took a chance and decided to go up to the stadium to see if I could get some pictures. The Energy people were very friendly. They let me step inside the stadium to snap a few.
