I didn’t media accreditation by the way. Unfortunately, the Pan America climbing qualifiers are on the same weekend at a venue only 15 minutes away . I’ll be there amongst the media. It will probably be just me, and a few other niche outlets. Well just want to represent team usa. Nothing too crazy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing too crazy That’s what I wanted to know I’d just go with a simple USA shirt, maybe a jersey. If you’ve got a flag lying around, you might want to bring that. You can also generally buy event shirts/team shirts at the event, so that’s an option as well. If you want to be festive, and not out there, maybe just try to dress completely in red, white, blue... USA Rugby fans are known for being on the rowdy side from what I’ve read (at least relative to other US sports fans), so I’d be prepared for that.

I am going alone. But a buddy might come on day 2. I do have 2 flags. One is hanging on the wall. But the one I can bring is torn a bit that's why I retired it. Not very respectable to bring.

I’d say just put on some US stuff, and get ready for two awesome days of rugby. I really wish I could be there, so have fun. “Sport has the power to change the world. It has the power to inspire.

Olympian1010 7,418 Posted February 20, 2020 #395 Share Posted February 20, 2020 @Maxim Fastovsky the US Olympic Trials for Table Tennis are in Santa Monica this year. Unfortunately they’re on the same freaking weekend as the Rugby and Climbing events! What kind of scheduling is this? bmo 1 “Sport has the power to change the world. It has the power to inspire.

I might have the media shuttles by then though, so not a problem for me (or I’ll be a volunteer) “Sport has the power to change the world. It has the power to inspire.
