It is unfair when people boil down the issues that DU/BB have with DCU/SE/Audi Field to “ticket drama.” That is completely disingenuous.by schneid3306 via twitter retweeted by DistrictUltrasX 7/14/2018 5:11:58 AM -
Now that it is the day of the #StadiumForAll Supporters’ March we want to take a moment and thank your members, and our Elders. Thank you to the @DistrictUltrasX . Thank you all the @dcunited fans that have supported us. Not bad for a bunch of amateurs with actual jobs.by Barra Brava via twitter 7/14/2018 5:37:04 AM
