March 27, 2010 at 4:38 PM |
Does it have to do with the “OUR HOME, YOUR HELL” banner?
March 27, 2010 at 5:02 PM |
March 20 on the 11th minute goal, pretty sure the banner was is section 101 from some pics i saw online, but I followed it online so I’m not positive
March 27, 2010 at 4:40 PM |
It was the seat of the young woman who was the first person through the gate at the RB/Santos match?
March 27, 2010 at 4:42 PM |
If we get a winner, we will announce at halftime of the match tonight in the running commentary post.

101 is 10-1 which equals 9. then theres the 11. to commemorate 9/11? buuut i don’t know what the 20 would mean.
March 27, 2010 at 4:59 PM |
Joel Lindpere (#20 for New York) scored the Stadium’s first goal in the 11th minute of the Santos match.
March 27, 2010 at 5:11 PM |
March 20 on the 11th minute joel lindpere goal
March 27, 2010 at 5:38 PM |
location of first breaking ground when stadium was built.
March 27, 2010 at 5:51 PM |
Lindpere is number 20, 11th minute, section 101 is directly behind the goal.
March 28, 2010 at 10:36 PM |
In Red Bull Arena section 101 is on the OPPOSITE side from that goal. You are thinking of Giant Stadium.
March 27, 2010 at 5:52 PM |
Joel Lindpere who is #20 for the Red Bulls scored the first goal in Red Bulls Arena.
March 27, 2010 at 6:28 PM |
First damage seat
March 27, 2010 at 6:32 PM |
101 – Empire Supporters Club Section
11 Joel Lindpere scores 1st goal in RBA in 11th minute
20 Lindpere’s number
I was there recording it all in my field notebook! But of course, that was redundant because it will be etched inmy memory
March 27, 2010 at 6:38 PM |
Row 101 refers to the year 2010, 1st game in the new stadium
Seat 11 refers to the minute the first goal was scored
20 refers to the jersey number of Joel Lindpere who scored the first goal
March 27, 2010 at 9:02 PM |
who won?
March 27, 2010 at 9:04 PM |
Well the 20 could refer to the date (20th March) but I’d still go with 101 Empire Supporters Club and 11th minute goal by Lindpere
March 27, 2010 at 11:10 PM |
Row 101 – the 10 refers to the opening year of the arena. The 1 refers to the first game at the new stadium.
Seat 11 – refers to the minute the first goal was scored
20 – refers to the date of the first game at the new stadium.
March 28, 2010 at 12:20 AM |
it stands for the date of the first game 101 row 11 seat 20….so 1011120, or (20)10, 111=3, and the 20 was the date!!!! 3/20/10!!!
March 28, 2010 at 1:48 AM |
101 – 1st section in the arena, commemorating first game
11 Joel Lindpere scores 1st goal in RBA in 11th minute
20 Lindpere’s number
March 28, 2010 at 9:11 AM |
C. Costanzo, good call on 101 being the first section completed (seat-wise). The one wild card here is that 20 could refer to either Lindpere’s number or the date (March) 20. If you didn’t nail it with this I’d try the same guess with 20 as the date. Give it a shot.
I have to think the “special moment” was the first goal so I’m at a loss to come up with a better guess than yours. Good luck.

DOTW/DOTY seat.
March 28, 2010 at 9:42 AM |
101- The 10 stands for 2010 and the 1 stands for the first game and first goal in Red Bull arena.
11- The first goal in the new arena was scored in the 11th minute
20- Number 20, Joel Lindpere scored the first goal
March 28, 2010 at 1:35 PM |
So how do we put a red seat in section 102 row 40 seat 20? (There’s no row 40!)
March 28, 2010 at 1:52 PM |
Something to do with Giants Stadium?
it is a seat from the old stadium…the first one put in…
GO RED BULLS!
March 28, 2010 at 3:25 PM |
Section 101 represents game one at the RBA.
Row 11 represents the minute the first goal was scored at the RBA.
Seat 20 represents the number of the jersey worn by the scorer of the first goal, Joel Lindpere.

1ST GOAL EVER IN MLS 11TH MINUTE SCORED BY NUMBERT 20 LINPERE
March 29, 2010 at 7:59 AM |
First goal on the new Red Bulls Arena.
101 I think is the section behind the goal?!?
11 is the minute when Joel Lindpere scored.
20 is Joel Lindpere´s shirt number.

Are we just not hitting the right combination?
101 10 for 2010 1 for first game, first goal
11th minute for 1st goal by Lindpere
20 as in March 20th
March 29, 2010 at 11:27 PM |

March 30, 2010 at 1:29 AM |
First seat selected when season ticket holders picked out their seats?
March 30, 2010 at 6:29 AM |
20 101 11 or 2010 1 11 is year of opening of RBA, 1st goal 11th minute (or 11th minute 1st goal (2010 11 1). I’m running out of ideas too.
March 30, 2010 at 5:09 PM |
to commemorate the first goal scored at Red Bull Arena. Section 101 is our Supporters Section Row 11 signifies the minute the goal was scored, and Seat 20 is for Joel Lindpere (#20), who scored the goal
