Opening Weekend Road Trip to Chiefs vs. Jacksonville

[BigRedChief]

A group of us from the Tampa area are going to the game. I'm sure there will be other Chief fans going to the game.

The group seats are in Section 130. Row U and V. Seats 1-20

We are planning to get some group tickets together and fly the Chiefs red. We are also planning the best tailgate to ever take place in the Jaguar's parking lots.

If you just want to come to the tailgate and get your own tickets I'll post the location of the tailgate in the opening post when its decided.

Here's the tailgate spot. You can buy parking reservations in the lot now. I will post a pic or describe the location of where we are at in the parking lot early on game day in this thread.

The NFL schedule makers took a big crap on my plans. I friend of mine is a JAX season ticket holder and was ready to make the trip again to see KC play JAX. One problem. I'm a U of M Football season ticket holder. There are two games on the Michigan home schedule that are can't miss. That school down south and the last home game against Notre Dame which is under the lights. Of course the NFL schedule makers saw fit to schedule the KC/JAX game the day after the U of M/ND night game. Bastards.

The dilemma right now is that same weekend Florida plays @ Miami on Saturday so I might go to that game.

It'll work itself out over the next 4 months.

I went to the Chiefs-Jags game in 2004 when it was a quick drive over from Gainesville.

Is that the one where the Chiefs came from behind to take the lead late only to lose on the final drive? If so, and I think it was, my family was at that game during a Florida vacation.

Yep - Trent hit Priest for a 28yd TD reception to go up 16-14 with 5mins left only to have Byron Leftwich toss a TD with under 1 min in regulation.

Sounds good. More room for tailgating. 6-8 blocks of walking shouldn't be a deal breaker to anyone in our group.

Why in the world are in you in this thread? You contribute absolutely nothing.


It really doesn't matter where you park, just find a place. If I go I gotta find you guys. It'll be epic.

Damn, saw a bunch of fans there but didn't know there were any CP alums. Didn't see that tent in the lot I was in.

EVERYONE MEET IN THE BUD ZONE AT HALFTIME! But you need to get there fairly early before the half or it'll be packed more than it normally is.

Sometimes it sucks traveling solo. So far, for flight, car rental, and hotel only, this would cost me $854.34. That doesn't include gas, meals, tickets, or parking.

Slow down there pal. Details on the meet ups are forthcoming and will be decided by the group.

Bud Zone is lame anyways. There's no room to stand and it's mostly just a bunch of college age kids acting like the place is a club.

Me too! I live in one of the high rises directly across the river overlooking the stadium.

How much would tickets to the game be?

Should be plenty of tickets available for fairly cheap right at gametime in front of the stadium. I've never had trouble getting tickets to a Jags game.
