Fans
The soccer fan is a rare breed of human. Their passion for the Beautiful
Game is matched only by the effort of their respective side. They feel the pain
of losses and share in the joy of victories. They turn matchdays into holidays
and stadiums into carnivals.
There are fans ... and there are soccer fans. And then, there are D.C. United
fans.
Since the
inception of MLS in 1996, D.C. United has been the most successful side not only
on the field, but in the stands as well. In 2001, supporters of the
Black-and-Red packed RFK in record numbers, leading MLS in attendance with over
21,000 fans per game. The numbers are impressive, but not as impressive as the
spirit of those who have come to RFK to support their side, turning a regular
sporting event into a unique experience.
Since matchday comes
only twice a week and you'll need something to tide you over, this section of
dcunited.com is for you, the dedicated fans of the Black-and-Red. You can find
information on the team's Fan Clubs, discuss all things soccer on the Message
Board, or send a message to your favorite player via E-Fan
Mail.
There is also information for the younger fans
of United, such as how to participate in MLS's Dribble, Pass and Score contests
and how to become a member of the D.C. United Youth Fan Club.
Whether it's
in the stands or on your computer, D.C. United thanks you for your support and
encourages your continued dedication in following the
Black-and-Red.
