RBNY TO HOST DINARDO FAMILY CUP

The New York Red Bulls and The Soccer Learning Center will host the DiNardo Family Cup on Friday, September 18, prior to the Red Bulls MLS match with the New England Revolution.

UPDATE: Governor Jon Corzine, Jersey City Mayor Jerramiah Healy, and Hoboken Mayor Dawn Zimmer are expected be in attendance at the start of the tournament to conduct the coin toss, along with the four surviving officers before the tournament’s kickoff at 3:30 PM ET.

More than 100 players representing eight teams will play in a small-sided tournament on the Giants Stadium field to help bolster the PBA scholarship fund for Jersey City Police Detective Marc DiNardo’s three children, ages 4, 3, and 1. Detective DiNardo was fatally shot in the line of duty in July.

WEB CAM UPDATE: UPDATE

As you may have noticed, the web cam at the Red Bull Arena site is down.  There is a good reason for this.  The construction trailers that hosts the signal are being moved to another section of the site.  The web cam should be back up and functional in the very near future.  We apologize for the inconvenience.

UPDATE: The web cams (both the interior as well as the exterior) are back online and ready to disrupt your work day!
