2012 Playoffs

While the Crew have not locked up a spot yet, the odds are good and the nature of this business is that we need to start selling playoff tickets now. Currently the Crew are 3rd in the East and would host Philladelphia either Sat Oct. 29 or Sun Oct. 30 with the second leg at Philly either Wed Nov. 2 or Thur Nov. 3. If the Crew move up to 1st or 2nd in the East they would be away on the weekend and host midweek.

English Premier League at Fourth Street

The Barclay's Premier League has kicked off it's season and we're happy to announce that our home bar Fourth Street Bar & Grill will be open for all available Premier League games this season. On Saturdays and Sundays they will be opening early, so whenever there is a 7 or 7:45am game you can count on Fourth Street being open. They will also have the kitchen open with breakfast food available.

Part of our long term plan with Fourth Street was to grow it as a soccer bar so we're really excited about this and the bar is too.

Crew Union Pick Up

Due to the overwhelming popularity of the pick up games we've been holding there has been demand for holding weekend and weekday games. We'll be having two sessions each week, Sunday & Wednesday evenings at 7pm. Don't forget to join the Crew Union Pickup group to stay in the loop on weekly pickup games.
