I wouldn’t say it is kid fun, but I wouldn’t say it’s necessarily inappropriate. You would always have to worry about language in those situations though.

it has really morphed over the decades, but we park along Abbott Road in Hammer‘s lot right in the front left corner. We sort of park in a circular style that gives us access to the empty space in the middle and a lot of great people bring a lot of great food. Depending on the weather, we have a tent and tables for shared items. In the past they have rented a large community grill for people to use and we generally bring nonalcoholic drinks for people to have. Probably the longest standing tradition is meade making Stromboli in the morning. If you’re not in the lot by 9 AM you’re not getting in. Typically those who park in the tailgate area are probably there by 7:30am I think. Those spots are usually reserved. After that, we’ve just had a laundry list of great food items that people bring and share. In the past, we raffled off Bills items and had fundraisers. One year we had a band. It’s probably lower key nowadays. We don’t have any crazy traditions like being soaked in condiments or any of the other more extreme tailgating things you may hear. It’s really just people getting together and talking/eating before and after the game.

Do you have them? What design did you get? If you don’t have them, what design would you choose if you did purchase them?

I’m collecting names.

So I should dress up?

Ok, let’s get the planning started... I will update the list as people commit.

Ha. gotcha. Carry on. 👍

I have not. Talking with family. Reserved a hotel room at Nopsi just in case.

correct

We had a heavy discussion on this. Your concerns were echoed by many.

If you’re concerned I can talk to Hammer. Ha! 20 years later he may return…

Let’s just say I was crying on the inside.

I still have nightmares from that raccoon you chucked in my mouth.

Good to hear from you…

We will have to keep an eye on it. If we are forced off a nearby lot then we will have to make contingency plans.

Correct. Just go. When the first shovel of dirt hits you in the face, you’re not gonna be thinking about the money you made off a football game.

Excellent

Many of the regulars are starting to confirm their attendance. 👍👍👍

send me a message if you think you may be offering them to the group. I’d like to start collecting outlets for people who may need tickets that will come to the tailgate.

Shush. Don’t bother him. He seems to have found something interesting.

What is what?

I wasn’t sure if you would make your annual post, so I started one that’s pinned.

I have tickets, but I am currently flying solo also.

Are the single tickets sold out? There were a whole bunch left this morning.

like for free or just available to buy?
