Sam's Army® Match Guidelines
PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING CAREFULLY
IT CONTAINS IMPORTANT INFORMATION REGARDING THE SAM'S ARMY SECTION AT US NATIONAL TEAM MATCHES

The Sam's Army section has had many curiosity seekers come in and not participate as well as some who have come into the section and not willing to follow group dynamics. If you are not interested in helping us with the following, then PLEASE RECONSIDER ATTENDING A MATCH WITH US IN THE FUTURE.

STANDING- The section is a standing section. We stand for the whole match. if you are looking to relax for 90 minutes, this is not the place for you.

PARTICIPATION- This is required. It is the essence of what we are about. To energize the team and other fans by creating vocal support.

GENERAL ADMISSION- Despite there being a row and seat number on your ticket, the Sam's Army sections tend to be a General Admission area which allows people to move freely. If someone asks you for their exact seat, let them have it. If YOU are the person who demands to have their exact seat, then please reconsider coming into the section in the future. Also, try to let kids who cannot see get to the front, but please leave the first few rows free for home town season ticket holders.

WEAR RED!!- Sam's Army has been creating pools of red in stadiums since 1995. At that time, the U.S. did not have a red jersey. They no longer have a red jersey, but this will not change the noticeable color of red that we wear. Please try to help us change this pool into a "Sea of Red"

ORGANIZATION- We are trying to get the most vocal people and drums together in the center portion of the Sam's Army section. This will help in songs starting and spreading throughout the section. If you want to be part of the core group to start songs then work together with one another! If you are a drummer who wants to bang a drum, make noise, and not help in coordinating ONE VOICE, then please reconsider joining us in future matches.

BEHAVIOR- DO NOT THROW ANYTHING ON THE FIELD!!! If you see someone doing this, tell them to stop or get security to eject them. We do not promote violent or racist behavior, however, the section is not "G" rated either. Language and behavior in the section is no different than what one experiences at other sporting events. Though we do not condone this, we can not control the behavior of everyone. If you are sensitive to this type of behavior or you are the person acting this way, then please reconsider attending a match with us in the future.

TICKETS- If you are purchasing tickets for others a or resell your tickets, BE SURE everyone in your group and the persons you sell your tickets to know what to expect.

If you have any questions, comments, or concerns , please contact me via the link below. Keep an eye on the web site for all updated info regarding the matches. Enjoy!!!

Sincerely,
Mark Spacone
