Fezmid Posted September 2, 2004 Posted September 2, 2004 I will be bringing MEMPHIS RIBS.... 15761[/snapback] I don't know what to bring... I've brought this up before - I want to eat (d'uh), but coming from out of town (no cooler, etc), I don't have a lot of options. If people want to share their grilled food with me, I'll be happy to bring non-perishable stuff (chips, paper plates, anything!) Should we have some sort of organization (like a pot-luck) for the tailgate? Or am I being too organized? I just want to make sure I don't starve CW

Hotdog = 1 beer, ribs = 2 beers, prime rib = 3 beers, etc. If you starve at the Tailgate, it's because you're shy about asking people if you can try what they're cooking.
njsue Posted September 2, 2004 Posted September 2, 2004 I am stopping at a discount beverage/liquor store 3% tax by my mom's house. Bringing a couple of cases of beer. Also, smirnoff Ice, Mikes hard lemonade & Don Julio for the hammer. Any suggestions of what types of beer I should bring. So far I have labatts & Sam Adams. Let me know what you guys would like
BillsWatch Posted September 2, 2004 Posted September 2, 2004 I do not know my plans yet (I start a new job Monday after opener) but if I drive up for game I'll stop over in Canada and get a couple of cases of Canadian beer. Parking appears to very tight and I am not planning on parking in Hammer's Lot due to space restrictions so it appears I will need to drop off stuff and then go park. The parking situation makes it difficult to bring food like I did when I brought tenderloin tips for kabobs - getting in and out of lot is possible before game is easy but afterwards it means walking to Hammer's and lugging stuff to car before leaving and not something you want to do when you have a time crunch.
njsue Posted September 2, 2004 Posted September 2, 2004 I will stop over at Tim Hortons to get fresh donuts and muffins if people want them.
Fezmid Posted September 2, 2004 Posted September 2, 2004 Sounds like people have the beer covered, so I guess I won't bring the Universal Currency with me (since nobody in my family drinks it...). Right now, leaning towards bringing a bunch of chips and such. Probably a few cases of pop as well, unless someone has any other suggestions... What's the seating like? Picnic tables? Lawn chairs? Bring our own? My wife's concerned because she just found that she has a ruptured disk in her back and wants to make sure she'll have someplace to sit (other than in the car...) I seem to recall reading that there were going to be tables and chairs, but need to know for her peace of mind. CW
Just Jack Posted September 2, 2004 Posted September 2, 2004 We provide some tables and folding chairs under the tent, most people bring their own camp chairs also. I usually bring an extra chaor or two if the folding chairs are not comfortable for your wife.

Hey Fez, we'll have a grill and I'm more than happy to share if you don't mind hot dogs and burgers. There is always a TON of food and lots of grilling going on so please don't be shy!
Fezmid Posted September 2, 2004 Posted September 2, 2004 Jack: Thanks for the info. I'll see if my parents/relatives have any folding chairs that we can bring as well. AiO: Thanks for the offer - I love hamburgers Maybe I can see if we can somehow bring some brats with us (we're going to Green Bay this weekend!) No guarantees (as keeping them cold on the plane trip, as well as the drive ot the game will be difficult), but we'll see. Can't wait! CW

CW 16421[/snapback] Last tailgate I went to, there was so much food that I was getting burgers and hotdogs thrust at me at each turn...you know if T-Bone can get a full belly that there is lots of food to share with everyone....of course I was next to the "great one" while all this was happening...
BILLS4LIFE Posted September 3, 2004 Posted September 3, 2004 Besides myself ,probably some beer and some Powerade.
njsue Posted September 3, 2004 Posted September 3, 2004 I would love to try someones food in exchange for a couple of six packs or a case of beer. Hopefully, I can just put these many beers in someones ice filled cooler.
aussiew Posted September 4, 2004 Posted September 4, 2004 We're flying in so will probably stop and pick up some Sahlens and beer on Sat night and just get one of those styrofoam coolers..
njsue Posted September 4, 2004 Posted September 4, 2004 I have plenty of CD's: Bon Jovi Slippery when wet Best of Van Halen Best of Aerosmith Def Leppard Hysteria Rolling Stones 40 licks best of the stones Temptations Best of Bob Seger & the silver Bullet band. Favorite song is Down on Main St. This is just to a couple to satisfy.

Parking is not "Tight". Just get your ass out of bed early! Can't get out of bed early, parking next door at 4180 Abbott Road so you don't have to lug so far.
BillsWatch Posted September 4, 2004 Posted September 4, 2004 I just decided I am driving and I booked my flight so I am leaving on Monday morning for new job, not driving on Sunday. Since I am flying though I may need to depend on family members for rides and hence have a lot less control over transportation.. Flight + airport parking gets pretty expensive. I will probably catch a ride with my brother and he may not have the same desire to start tailgating that early in morning. If he camps in trailer lot then I can just stroll over when I wake up otherwise I have no idea what time I am getting there. At least this way though the tailgate after the game is not so restricted.
