Show Grounds

 
 

The venue for this years Sieger Show will be Ridgebury Park. It's a soccer complex nestled among the trees and is located directly across the street from the host hotel! Never before has the USA Sieger Show been so convenient for participants.

In the aerial photo below, the large white roofed building is the host hotel. The large grass area to the left is the venue. This photo is two years old, so it will be slightly different now.

To get a bird's eye view of the area, click here and enter in the address for the host hotel (18 Old Ridgebury Road, Danbury, CT 06810). The Globe Xplorer website has an interactive viewer that lets you move around in the aerial photo. If you zoom out to one level larger than street level, the Map Hover tool becomes available for use. You can also zoom out to see how the roads are to get to the hotel.
