Washington, D.C. ? D.C. United today announced the club has officially partnered with 15 bars in DC and Virginia for the duration of the 2011 campaign. BlackFinn, Fado, The Pug and Babylon Futbol Caf� return for a second consecutive year after partnering with United in 2010.
?Our bar partnership program continues to be a key initiative for D.C. United in 2011,? said Director of Marketing Communications Kyle Sheldon. ?We are thrilled that these 15 bars have made a commitment to D.C. United and to the growth of the sport in Washington. Soccer is truly a communal activity and we hope our bar events will draw together the already tight-knit soccer community.?
D.C. United?s first bar event of the year will take place Saturday, March 26 at BlackFinn DC (1620 I St. NW), as supporters gather for a special Doubleheader Viewing Party, presented by Comcast SportsNet. The event begins at 4pm ET, with D.C. United vs. New England Revolution kicking off at 4:30pm, followed by the U.S. Men?s National Team vs. Argentina at 7pm ET. The party will include an appearance by a D.C. United player, halftime drawings for field level seats to D.C. United-LA Galaxy on Sat., April 9, and a 2011 3rd kit.
Of the club?s 2011 partners, three bars are brand new and either opened last week or will open in the very near future. Touchdown on U St. opened its doors officially this last Monday to much fanfare, while Lou?s City Bar in Columbia Heights made its debut last Thursday. Additionally, The Queen Vic and Kahn?s Bar & Grill ? both on H St. NE ? may open their doors for the first time this week.
Each of the 15 bars that has partnered with United has made a commitment to show every televised game played by the Black-and-Red during the 2011 season. Throughout the season, D.C. United will be hosting away-game viewing parties, fundraising events and player appearances at various bar partners. For the most up-to-date information on all bar events, visit dcunited.com/bars.
