Loudoun Staff Mark Cormack - Director, Ticket Sales, and Service Douglas Raftery - Executive Business Officer Vanessa Bollinger - Marketing and Community Engagement Professional Meeting Discussions The staff at Loudoun who met with us wanted to figure out our group goals and any questions we had for them. They advised us that DC United is not operating Loudoun at an FO level, so it is the 3 of them running operations. There were questions regarding our cooperation with the Loudon Stampede and how we can coexist with them. Along with this, there were discussions about a potential supporter's group night. Another topic within the meeting was the rules and regulations regarding smoke bombs. The USL rules state that the team must be the ones to purchase and store smoke bombs. Loudoun has full clearance from the fire marshalls for the permitted use of smoke in the stadium. Angus said a plan for BPS is to make a monthly schedule graphic for the teams we support, Vanessa asked if we would include the promo nights they are working on. Angus said that we are trying to fit 4 team's schedules in one graphic that would be readable on a phone, so it probably won't happen. Tailgating The parking lot at Segra is owned by the county so tailgating with alcohol is prohibited due to county laws. If you are to bring a grill it cannot take up a parking space and it is not permitted to leave a grill on the premises. In regards to tailgating within the facility, there need to be several health regulations met for the team to be able to grill and sell food. Tailgating areas are a thought within the grounds for people to lounge and enjoy time with other fans. A beer garden is also in the works with an aim to sell local craft beers. Metro Access The new Silver Line expansion has the potential to make access to Segra Field easier but there must be conversations with WMATA. The discussion with WMATA is one that Loudoun looks forward to making in the coming years.
