New DRRA Web Site
The DRRA's new Gold Cup web site is now live! We've used Drupal, an award-winning Content Management System, so that we can grow and retain content from year to year. http://www.Gold-Cup.com
We've also simplified the Fan Guide section to make it easier to understand our ticket plans and find the on-site locations.
The online ticket store is open again for 2012, ready to go. http://www.Gold-Cup.com/store
