like Mike says, we've just gotten an offer that we want to iron out, but as its a fellow Vikefan it should be pretty much set that its going to happen. We just have to work out the hows.

SkolVike44
Mike
Myself
RSexpress +1
1wildman +4
Nichelle + 17 (ish)
Zerk +3
Viking2 +1
MaroonBells +2

at this point we are at 37... nothing set in stone, I just wanted to do a head count so far. If you arent on this list we havent seen a response from you for the tailgate event.

Saturday (the 23rd) is possible, but until where and when is settled I couldn't call it a plan. There would be two of us
Would you be joining us on sunday as well?

No. Have tickets to the Bucs game and we park at the MOA and take the light rail up. We're lucky to find the car again at MOA, let alone wander around a tailgating lot looking for you guys :p

We will be right across the street from the light rail stop. And we will have a big sign that says VikeFans.com

Excellent! Even I might manage to not get lost =)

You realize the arrow you drew crosses the rail tracks twice? :# Perhaps we'll just walk along them... B)

Actually you have to walk down chicago ave across the tracks and turn right into the parking lot. We should be against the back wall

thats not one of the lots that got nuked in the interest of profit? if we are still good to go we better get an earlier start than last year although I noticed that at least we arent competing with that marathon this year. ( and I am going to bring some warm clothes for staking out our spot... damn near froze to death last year.)

We also need to secure a tailgating spot. Rumor has it that many of the spots that used to be available are now no longer there for tailgating.

It seems that the Vikings and/or the city is squashing tailgating as we have come to know it. So if you know someone that has a tailgating pass that might be able to let us use it let us know.

History does indeed repeat. I remember I was about 20 years old when we tried to tailgate at the Metrodome during it's first season. The Minneapolis cops showed up, kicked our grills over and told us to hit the road, no more tailgating.
