Hmmm. A few posts have been deleted? Where did they go? 

You’re bordering on “Who’s the Richard Head who closed my thread?” territory. 

 

But since this thread allows for commentary, Hammers Lot is fun but you’re packed in like sardines. I’m somewhat claustrophobic and anti-social. I like to park at the McKinley Mall. Wide open lot. Very few people there. Can throw the football to myself at 6am under the lights which gives me that “stadium” feel. I crank the pre-game show at 7am, call in give my prediction (Call sign “Joe from Java Center”). At 7:30am I typically take a nap until 8:15am. I start my quick walk to the stadium at 9am. Pack up my Radio Flyer wagon which has an antique toaster oven filled with charcoal. As I walk the toaster oven bakes my dozen wings perfectly for my arrival at the stadium area at 12:40. I bring along @CountryCletus‘ dog bowl (good luck tradition) and toss my perfectly baked wings in Franks, Miracle Whip and butta’. Then I ask a person walking by to spray me in hamburger relish. No crowds for me and parking is cheap. 

 

Best of luck in your search and feel free to join me if you’d like. I can reserve you a spot at the Mall.

I always park on Big Tree (one of the houses somewhat close to the 219 entrance) for 10 bucks, then hoof it over to the Hammer Lot.

can see that being a good option

Dog took off.... I’m a master tracker... found his tracks- set out game cam with food and sweaty shirt, picked up Rex the next day.... too easy 

 

We got another puppy.

 

 

Couldn't find the pets section too post this...

No problem bud.  We’re flying up for the opener from Florida, so myself, my two sons, and about a dozen and a half of my relatives will be there.  I always love meeting TBD guys so we can have an adult beverage together.  I’ll pm you if interested.  I hope everyone else keeps that sign in you’re car so we know who each other are in Hammers.

There should be a banner. Scott has the big one but hasn't brought it since the year he got it. I might have the smaller one, or I gave it to Mead to hang onto since he's there every week.

Hope you have found a place to park.  

Not sure yet, it will take me some time to filter out the unrelated comments before I can see my options.

If you need help counting, I am here for you.  

 

It will be tough.  But I know I can do it.

If you could have it completed before the home opener, that would be great!

So you only want to spend 11.50 Canadian? 

That’s a beer at a Leafs game, but at least they tell me the price before I order it!

You won’t have enough money for a beer in the stadium.

Don’t concern yourself with what I have money for. You should clearly focus on other things.
