Gallery Furniture to sponsor 'Dynamo Convoy to Cup'
HOUSTON -- The Houston Dynamo and Gallery Furniture are teaming up on a special promotion as part of the team's quest for the 2006 MLS Cup.
Gallery Furniture is rallying Dynamo fans for a historic convoy up I-45 to Frisco, TX for the MLS Cup Finals. The Dynamo will play the New England Revolution on Sunday, November 12th at 2:30 PM at Pizza Hut Park in Frisco, TX (ABC Ch. 13, 790 AM, 850 AM, 101.7 FM).
Hundreds of cars will make the trek to Pizza Hut Park for the big game. It is being planned as the largest pro sports convoy ever. The convoy will originate at Gallery Furniture (45-N and Tidwell St., 6006 North Freeway, Houston, 77076) and end at Pizza Hut Park.
"This will be another great example of the community support we've received this season," said Dynamo team president Oliver Luck. "On behalf of our organization and fans, Gallery Furniture deserves a big 'thanks' for making this convoy a reality."
"Our fans are truly passionate and this will be a fun and spirited demonstration of Dynamo pride," added Luck. "It will be unlike anything MLS has ever seen before, and we will bring a strong home field presence to Pizza Hut Park."
Check-in will take place at Gallery Furniture from 6:30 - 7:00 AM. A free breakfast will be served during that time. The convoy is expected to depart at 7:30 AM and arrive at Pizza Hut Park around 11:30 AM.
Fans will be provided with supplies to help decorate their cars in the teams "GO ORANGE!" playoff campaign.
Upon arrival to the stadium, Gallery Furniture will treat all convoy participants with a free pre-game tailgate party outside of Pizza Hut Park. Food, courtesy of El Toro Restaurants, will be served but fans must bring their own beverages. Blue Ribbon Sausage has also stepped up to provide enough sausage on a bun for 500 people.
Gallery Furniture will also provide all convoy participants with a free Dynamo T-Shirt.
There is no cost to join the convoy. Fans will be required to purchase their own MLS Cup tickets and will be required to pay applicable parking fees at Pizza Hut Park. Tickets can be purchased by logging onto www.houstondynamo.com
Although it's free, fans are required to register for the "Convoy to Cup" at www.houstondynamo.com or by calling 713-276-7500.
