Annual VikeFans Tailgate and get together?
OK, Now that camp is behind us its really time to get cranking on this thing. We are targeting the Tampa Bay game on Sunday September 24th for our annual goings on. We are once again hoping to do some sort of Saturday gathering as well as a tailgate before the game....during the game.... and maybe after the game as well ( watch out for the cracks in the asphalt...they can be a real challenge) for those that dont know... typically there are a few that dont have tickets to the game, but want to hang out anyway so we get a TV set up in the parking lot with the game feed going on it for those outside... (this is actually a pretty good time as you can really get to know your brethren and the beers is much much cheaper)
So before we set anything in stone, who would be planning on joining us? Please note "Saturday", "Sunday", or "Both" in your responses as well as how many would be in your group if it will be more than just yourself.
Why isn't Chuck Foreman in the Hall of Fame?

Traveling by car from VA, stopping along the way to meet with friends and see some sites. If there is a tailgate of any kind on that Sunday, please let me know. My friend and leader of our Northern VA Vikings Fan Club is flying in as well and we will be going to the game, and perhaps the Twins game on Saturday. I have never driven past Shitcago before and I am looking forward to seeing some new territory. SKOL!
If you're comin up from the south better be sure you stop by brotha!
I'm still planning to take my kids to one game again this year. It will either be the Bucs game or the Ravens game. I'd love to swing by a tailgate and hoist a few with other Longshippers if we can figure out that part of it. Doesn't matter to me which game, so whichever one is in the lead is the one I'll choose.
we are trying to fly up for the Bucs games. its on my birthday.

If you're comin up from the south better be sure you stop by brotha!I will certainly let you know when I am coming. Since I am traveling by car and making many stops, not sure which day I will be there. I am hoping by Friday evening or Saturday before the Lions game.
so its looking like the Bucs game is the one so far? anybody holding back at this point? we really need to start planning with those that will be attending.
Ok,
Mike what are you hearing on the tailgating situation? Any good news to report in with?
Jimmy - Can you PM me if you guys come up with a plan? Thanks.

I will try to remember. lots of stuff happening right now, i will try but also keep checking back to be on the safe side.
@"RS Express" said: Saturday (the 23rd) is possible, but until where and when is settled I couldn't call it a plan. There would be two of usWould you be joining us on sunday as well?
@"1Wildman" said: As of right now I am on board for the Bucs game with the wife and kids, 5 total. Probably just watch the game with those hanging out in the parking lot.What about on Saturday also? Or is it just the tailgate itself for you and your clan?
@"Bezerker88" said:Are you and Monsters Inc up just for the game or you interested in a Saturday get together again as well?@"JimmyinSD" said: Well this sucks but based on the responses thus far its not looking like it would be worth the effort anyway. Well crap, this is a bummer. There will be four in my group,... Any tailgating in the light rail parking lots? Like have a get together a stop or two away and just jump on the train to get to the stadium. Probably not legal or feasible... just a thought that popped in...

Sorry, I saw it was 3 for the number.

Sunday for sure. What time are activities on Saturday? It's hard for me to pin down Saturday since that day will likely be filled with kid stuff: mall, etc.

Perfect. If you're coming up via Chicago, we live like a mile from I-90, and are more than willing to provide some crash space. Can even rideshare it up for ya if you like. :)

I have a few of my spicy brothers and sisters up there, so I could try to organize some kind of getogether if you would not mind trying out something spicy. ;)

Nothing set yet, we are trying to get numbers and go from there.
