Tailgating and Victory Party in Indy for Chief Fans
 

There is going to be a Chiefs Fans Rally before the game at New York Street and Capitiol Streets. There are lots of parking areas for Tailgating. This is Indy not Arrowhead so if you park in a parking garage they will not allow any cookers/grills whats so ever!
The parking fees at New York and Capitol should be $10 to park ( * been $10 all season). I'm driving the Mustang so I won't have any tailgating gear with me on this trip. We will have to figure that out.

Its about 2 blocks north of the stadium so we can all walk to the stadium together or just meet up with some fellow Chief fans. If it rains, we will move everyone to the BW3's which is a block a half from the stadium!

Chiefs Victory party will be at the Slippery Noodle after the game for those so inclinded. The Slippery Noodle is just few blocks from Arrowhead east...uh the RCA dome.

I have found several options for 3 star hotels in Indy for $39.00 through hotwire.

I won't be into Indy until Saturday morning but if you are going to get into Indy on Friday night and want to arrange something use this thread to organize.

Let's show them lame ass fans in Indy what a "Real" fan is.

Can we get a sticky from a mod?

Can I park a 27' RV at that lot?

Pretty sure that the closest parking for a rig that large to downtown would be at the airport (10 mi west)

ROFL

Another thing to remember about downtown Indy is the farther away you are from the dome, the cheaper the parking. My regular garage is $3 for Colts games. It is located at Pennsylvania & Market.... About a 15 - 20 minute walk from the dome.

Closer than parking at the Adam's Mark in KC ;)

Any tips/tricks we should know about downtown? The dome? Anything else?

Sounds like Indy isnt fan-friendly...

The big thing would be to get there early as anytime there is a home game, half the streets are clogged and the other half are closed. There is also a rodeo in town, so downtown will be a nightmare Saturday.

Everything you will want to do in Indy will be within walking distance so where you park isn't that important.

Take the first affordable parking spot you come across... Parking will range from $1 to $20. We used to park in the Indians parking lot off West street... people seem to forget about that lot.

The other tip is, even though you are deep within enemy territory, enjoy downtown. It is what KC hopes will happen with the Sprint Center and the P&L district. The warehouse district is full of unique bars and restaurants. Two places that are definitely worth the stop are St Elmo's steakhouse ($$$, but a very old - 100yrs + original steakhouse and better than Plaza 3 & Ruths Chris combined, try the Shrimp Cocktail!) and The Slippery Noodle. Circle Center mall is an upscale shopping center that has been built into old downtown buildings if anybody wants to do some shopping.

If you get lost walking around, find Monument Circle. It is dead center downtown, both Meridian Street (North / South) and Market Street (East / West) feed into the round about around the Monument. From the monument it is easy to find anything worth finding in downtown. (If you get lost around game time, just follow the mass of Manning jerseys walking like zombies to visit their false idol)

Across from the dome is a plaza where they hold their pregame festivities. (bands, sponsors, kinda like they do outside the gates at Arrowhead)

Wanted to let people who are going to the game about ticket typos. I received my tickets from ticketsnow.com yesterday and they have 2005 "AFC Playoff Game 1" printed on them. Called them immediately to find out what was going on and to make sure I hadn't been ripped off! They told me there were tickets printed incorrectly with this date on them and the were valid tickets. I called the Colts ticket office myself to see if they could verify my tickets. I was told that there were a number of tickets that were printed incorrectly with the 2005 date on them and the tickets are good for admission to the game. Thought I'd pass this on to anyone else who may get their tickets and panic like I did.

Since this is my first post and can't start a new thread, maybe someone can do that for me to get the word out.

I'm driving up from Joplin with my wife and son for the game. We'll be in section 101, row 18, decked out in Chiefs gear!

Hope to see a "Sea of Red" in Indy!

Grandllama:

Is ther parking available at New York/Capitol? Or is that just the rally point?

There are several garages close, this link (the same map as the other thread) has an interactive parking feature that tells you about the garages.

New York & Capitol is at about D4 on the map.

Is the "Chiefs Fan Rally" an organized event, or is it just a general location that a lot of people are gravitating to?

Just a central spot for us to find each other. Nothing official.

Really? (I see the smiley).

That is our mode of transportation. We will arrive early. My guess is any lot will let us park and just charge us for the amount of regular spaces we take. A fee we will gladly pay.

Good luck guys-Thanks for "representin" our colors. I hope you guys are as loud as we were in St. Louie!!!! We took over the shithole dome.


KICK SOME ASS!!!!!!

If anybody is coming into town Friday and wants a heads up on things to do, send me a smoke and I'll kick you my cell number. I work in one of 'dem tall building on Monument Circle and would be glad to escape Blue Friday hell...

I just made it onto the DA show and told the listeners about the tailgate.DA was saying that they are expecting 7,000 - 10,000 Chief fans at the game.

cool beans... we're still all on the same page right? New York and Capitol if not raining, BW3's if raining...

Yeah but I don't think a little drizzle or a brief rain will chase us indoors. Besides how are we going to fit 5,000 in BW3's?

It's a large BW3.... hehe... I think I'll have lunch there today and give them warning ;)

Steven St. John on 810am just mentioned the tailgate on the air also.

What time do bars close in Indy?

3am M-Sat

12am Sun

just thought of something...

Downtown Indy has free WiFi
KCFX streams over the net...

If I could figure out a way to get my dj equipment down there and powered, we could have the true 'Out of Arrowhead' experience ;)

Thanks, we're hoping to get in before 2, and we'll need a drink.

where are chiefs fans meeting tonight in Indy?
 

where are chiefs fans meeting tonight In Indy?

don't know, everytime I've brought it up all I hear are the crickets chirping.

Most of the kc folks seem to be coming in tomorrow morning. As for those of us already here, nothing seems to be planned yet, although I've got my jersey in my briefcase for afterwork.

Yes, most if not 99% of us are getting in on Saturday.
Weirdwolf on another board posted that he was going into Indy this afternoon and would post something if he found out about a Chiefs event, party.

My buddy and me are heading to Indy about 11:00 am and just wanted to know if any body was planing a red Fiday gathering at some place.

does anybody know if you can pick up 101 the fox in indy?

on the internet.... downtown has free wifi, so if you've got a laptop, no problems... otherwise, be prepared to grow quesy at all the Manning fellation...

GREAT! thats all need.

how about the slippery noddle for Tonight?

Looks like the rain has been moved out of the forecast......

Let's hope they are right.....

Where is the tailgating party exactly at?

Theres a map of downtown in the 1st post of this thread

What time is tailgating going to start

We expect to get there approx. 11:00 am or so

SWEET SEE YOU THERE

I hope so, its been raining for two straight days already...

Looks like from what I am hearing, BW3 or Claddagh Irish Pub is where folks will meet after work (although I prefer the Ram)... Pretty much tradition that no matter where you start, you always end up at the Noodle.

Here's the link for the pub:

http://www.claddaghirishpubs.com/loc...l.php?loc_id=6

Here's the link for the BW3's

http://buffalo.know-where.com/buffal...lt&place=46204

Here's the link for the Noodle

http://www.slipperynoodle.com/index2.cfm

The link for The Ram

http://www.theram.com/in-indianapolis.php

(The Ram is a brewpub located in the old Planet Hollywood location with some of the best beers I have ever tasted... Downtown also has two other brewpubs, Alcatraz and Rock Bottom)

Also if you have never been to one, Indy does have a Hard Rock Cafe

http://www.hardrockcafe.com/location...15&MIBEnumID=3

And for the best steak and shrimp cocktail you have ever had, you must eat at St Elmos ($$$$ but worth it)

http://www.stelmos.com/

Also, FWIW, those of you that smoke, Marion county does have a smoking ban. It is not allowed in any establishment that allows people under the age of 21. It is allowed in pure bars and nightclubs. The Downtown BW3 declared itself a bar, so it is the only 'restaurant' that allows smoking downtown, but if you are under 21 or have kids, you can't eat there.

btw, BRC feel free to post that last post of mine on the other BBS you frequent.

you will have to drive it in and find out, there are several lots available in this block....maybe even on street parking for your RV.

As soon as the FedEx Jackoffs get my tickets here I'll be on my way.

Have I even mentioned how much I despise FedEx?

DT

Looking foward to seeing you again.

heavy on the fed ex jack off. mine were to get here at 10am.put a tracker on them now its going to be 4pm before we leave home. we are 2 hours south of kc. looks like a all night drive.

...Looking forward to all the swag you guys are bringing ;)

Going the speed limit, that figures out to be about 9 - 9.5 hours.

Now nobody goes the speedlimit in MO or IN (IL scares me)

what are you needing?

there is a bunch meeting at a place called Benchwarmers on the North Side of Indy ( I-465 and Michigan Rd)

basically a way to haul it and a way to power it... ;)

the speakers don't fit good in a BMW... I do have an old van I could haul everything in, but no generator or anything to power it.

Where is that in relation to 86th Street Pub? (The only bar in that part of town I frequent)

We got to Indy in 9 hours over Thanksgiving weekend driving 10 mph over the speed limit, and that included stopping twice to feed the baby.

Anybody waiting until the last minute to leave, Indy is in the Eastern Time Zone. That may be common knowledge, but I didn't know it until I got there.

3850 DePauw Blvd., Indianapolis, IN 46268
Phone: 317-872-9790
Web Site: Click to visit their web site
Distance from Monument Circle: 18.04 miles

Yeah, it usually take me 8 - 8.5 hours depending on stops.

Change your clocks at the Indiana line... One hour forward going to Indy, one hour back coming from Indy.

Hey. For anyone arriving Friday. If you are staying on the north side of town, there is a Holiday Inn at I-465 and Michigan Rd that has a good sports bar called Benchwarmers. Good place to hook up Friday night.

Thats the Holiday Inn with the indoor waterpark isnt it?

THERE IS 8 BIG PARK SPOTS IN THIS AREA TO PARK IN SO THIS WILL BE NO PROBLEM IN FINDING A PLACE TO PARK.....JUST LOOK FOR THE "BANNER WELCOME CHIEFS FANS!" ATTACHED TO THE CHIEFS TENT

I WILL BE SETUP NEAR THE ROAD SO PEOPLE WILL BE ABLE TO FIND US WITHOUT ANY PROBLEMS!

I BELIEVE SO....ITS THE HOLIDAY INN YOU CANT MISS IT!

Description
A stylish, fun sports bar featuring multiple TV screens with cable, satellite and NTN (exciting interactive sports and trivia game) hookups, two billiard tables and electronic darts. A vast array of pub fare and an extensive beer selection. Active and fun, thatýs Benchwarmers. Free parking, handicapped facilities, motorcoach parking, reservations accepted. All major credit cards accepted.

Alright, I'm getting ready to head out from work. I don't know when I'll be back on the Planet, but anybody that wants to get ahold of me can give me a call on my cell or at home.

To get the critical ElPhono de Llama, simply send Go Chiefs a smoke.

I'll be heading to my normal stomping grounds 1) A quick martini at Nicky Blaines, 2) My $3 dollar growler refil to go at The Ram and then swing out by Benchwarmers to meet the locals...

Hotel
 

Any one staying at University Place Hotel and Conference Ctr Indianapolis. Let me know just curious if any fans going to be there.
GO CHIEIFS!!!!!!!!!!!111

okay, I'm leaving for Indy. See you guys there.

Good luck, guys.

Here's to safe travel for all you Chiefs fans, an exciting game and no serious injuries.

Met up with great guys from the Coalition, Star, and WPI tonight, and it pretty much drove home the fact that while we may have our petty board wars, when it boils right down to it, we are all long suffering Chiefs fans...

Home for the night, headed to the tailgate in 6 hours...

Go Chiefs!

Congrats on making it to Indy....Loud and Proud Baby! Go Chiefs!!!!!

It's 12:15 in Indy and no updates from the tailgate? Did no one bring a laptop to hook into the city's Wi-Fi? I'm living vicariously through you guys. :)

Chiefs suck!!!!!!!!!

HA HA HA HA!

Can you idiots say choke?

Don't embarrass me, Marine.

It was a great time and a good host city but we were busy rooting and drinking. There was very little red for the red sea.

Yeah the taigate was a mix of every board. It was a cool thing.
