Green Bay Game, Tailgating...for out-of-towners? Anyone?

[Mr. Kotter]

EDIT: Phil (Phobia) has graciously offered to host the proposed tailgate at the GB game. So far, we have 24-25 confirmations, four to six "possibles"....and some others that have mentioned they are interested.


WHAT: Green Bay Game Tailgate at Arrowhead

WHEN: Sunday, Novermber 4th; 8:30 AM arrivals until just before kickoff

FOOD: Pulled Pork, beans, jamalaya, and other food as requested (and as Phil is able to accomodate)

BEVERAGES: BYOB, OR include sufficient funds in your payment to Phil to cover your requests

COST: $10.00 per person (Phil isn't making any money; funds will go toward expanded food/beverage selections.)

LOCATION: Phil's "regular" Location (map of ARROWHEAD, in posts #69 or #70 below...)

DEADLINE: for Registration: Friday, November 2 (unless....you have attended previous CP or 37Forever functions, in which case Phil will accept payment Saturday, or at the tailgate--but, out of courtesy, PLEASE PM him.)

If you would like to participate, make a post....and then PM Phil for his address to mail your check to/or email to send your paypal payment to:

Here is/was Phil's post and instructions:

I think you guys have probably talked me into it. I'll ask for prepay options with a menu to be determined based on dollar amount collected. I don't make money on this. I don't want to. I just cover my costs and hang out with friends. I get a kick out of having people enjoy something I've prepared. We'll do tailgating fare, pulled pork, beans, and I guess jambalaya. Any other items selected will be subject to available funds. If you're from out of town and need me to pick up beverages please send an appropriate amount (to include necessary ice), beverage wishes, and I'll be happy to pick that up and throw it in a cooler.

I'd prefer a check so we don't incur service charges by if paypal is your preferred method, then please include enough change to cover the service charge. PM me for mailing address or paypal information.


NOTE: I'll continue to clean this post up as the week progresses....as confirmations/details emerge.

[OnTheWarpath15]

Ah.....

Kotter. You're the other out of towner coming in for this game. CC and I were talking about it in another thread.

I was hoping there would be some kid of CP gathering place on Sunday morning, since there will be several out of towners in that weekend.

[Phobia]

I'm thinking about going out to this game. Anybody up for some FatHead Phils?

[Iowanian]

I planned on coming down for this game, but brideowanian is in a wedding that day....

You know you can count on the Mrs and I if you're cooking.

[ChiefsCountry]

(We enjoy the comradery, and REFUSE to pay Arrowhead concession prices for cold, barely adequate...and sometimes, just plain 'nasty' food....okay????)

Chilli Cheese fries at Arrowhead our amazing, the rest I agree with you on.

Tiny and Dane will be in from Cali, too.

[luv]

You guys just let me know where, and I'll hunt ya down.

[Hoover]

I'll be there too

[Katie]

Count me in with two other random Chiefs fans!

Well, this seems like a plan to me. :thumb:

Is this an offer, or are you just funnin' us? :hmmm:

I'd kick in $10 per head (there would be at least 5 of us--maybe up to nine) for your Jambalya, Ribs, and beans. It appears several other folks would do the same.

I guess I was determining interest. I haven't yet tailgated this year and I miss it. I'd rather my first experience not be in 20 degree weather.

[Simply Red]

I may attend a game in December, so; brace yourself.

Sounds like we have the makings of a plan then, if you are really game. :thumb:

I'd be willing to help some--as best I can, while I am "entertaining" 4-9 folks.

I, for one, would front you the cash (for my attendees) if you are reluctant at all....because of the whole Planeteers-who-say-they-are-gonna-make-it-but-then-don't phenomena.

Maybe you could have people paypal you the jack, so you don't get stiffed.... :shrug:

[Mr. Kotter]

Katie, luv, Hoover, Iowanian, OntheWarpath58??? (tiny and Dane???)

Any thoughts about Phil's possibility???

luv, is the F24 gathering open to "expanding"..... :shrug:

[Hoover]

I'll be with a Packer Fan... But he's a great guy.

We are just coming to the game and I want to give him the best possible KC experience.

Saturday dinner at JackStack. Evening in Westport. Tailgate Sunday Morning with Phil....would be pretty close to a perfect Chief's weekend, in my book.

[stevieray]

I was thinking about using my tailgate as a meeting place...

[HypnotizedMonkey]

I will be at this game! luckily I don't care to know any of you!

[Hoover]

I'm open to whatever. I'm willing to pay for service: ie, beer and food.

[Hoover]

I will be at this game! luckily I don't care to know any of you!
you are missing out.

I don't really know any of these guys either. I've been to one tailgate 2 years ago. I drove down all by myself. It was a little awkward but these guys are great. I think Dartgod put on a great spread and Phobia was playing host.

If you really want to experience Arrowhead this is the way to do it.

[Mr. Kotter]

I was thinking about using my tailgate as a meeting place...

Maybe you and Phil could work something out?

I assure you many of us out-of-towner types would much appreciate it. :thumb:

[Mr. Kotter]

I will be at this game! luckily I don't care to know any of you!

Hoover is right; I was skeptical....6-7 years ago, when I first started.

Everyone I've met from this place have been good people; most have been absolutely friggin' great. :thumb:

[talastan]

I'm coming out to the Faiders game with my wife, and possibly two or three others. Anyone tailgating that game?

If so I can bring beer or food or cash...Just let me know when and where!!!

[stevieray]

I will be at this game! luckily I don't care to know any of you!

lucky for us?

that's how it reads... :hmmm:

[Simply Red]

I will be at this game! luckily I don't care to know any of you!
what a coincidence.

[BigRedChief]

Sorry guys my tailgate is closed for that weekend. I'm watching the game at home. Sold my tickets and used the money to go to the Van Halen concert instead.

Stevierays tailgate is usually set up about 10 yards from mine. It's a great spot for first timers and once a year visitors to attend a game.

Same here Phil.

And I agree completely with the Paypal idea.

We're driving up and back on Sunday, but I'd be able to give you any help you might need on the lot Sunday morning.

[crazycoffey]

I don't have paypal - If I send a cashiers check for $5000 you can send me an x-box and $4500 back, will that work?

[Mr. Kotter]

I just noticed the other thread. Hope you can make it (and FTR, don't listen to Dole :harumph: . )

[Mr. Kotter]

Stevie:

From a cursory look at the responses, I'm guessing we would be talking about 20+ people....or more. Would that be manageable??? Especially, in conjunction with Phil? :shrug:

I'm pretty confident I can, it's just do I want to play football on sat or just make the game, that's the decision I have to make.

And do people actually listen to Dole? :shake:

[Mr. Kotter]

How about both? :shrug:

FTR, Dole is a hoot to meet. He's fooled me into thinking he's a great guy, despite his poor grooming habits.

:p

[Bowser]

I'll be in, if we're gathering. I have a good spot in mind if the party grows too large, but it means we'll have to get there early (like that's a problem).

[BigRedChief]

And he has a fetish for big breasted women. Most people are glad to see the GF other than that Bob Dole guy.:p

[BigRedChief]

There are literally hundreds of tailgaters in a 20 yard radius every game right there by where me and Stevieray tailgate. Plenty of room and everyone is use to big crowds around that area.

[luv]

Katie, luv, Hoover, Iowanian, OntheWarpath58??? (tiny and Dane???)

Any thoughts about Phil's possibility???

luv, is the F24 gathering open to "expanding"..... :shrug:
There's always plenty of room. But I'm sure people like to be closer to the stadium. For some reason, they think it's better. IMO, it's just more crowded. I'll go wherever. Papasmurf is very loyal to his tailgating friends, so I don't know that he would stop by with me.

With the cutback in hours at work, and me planning a vacation trip to KC next month as well, my money situation will be a little tight. I'll eat at dad's tailgate and bring a few beers with me to wherever you guys will be.

Hey! I'm open for getting together Saturday night...let the party begin!

Likewise on the prepay deal. Tell me where and I'll send the money asap

[HypnotizedMonkey]

lucky for you is right! :) nah I'm just a hater i'm sure everyone here is really cool ... have a great time at the game!

[luv]

Hey! I'm open for getting together Saturday night...let the party begin!

That would be a blast. Papa's been driving up to the game the morning of, though. Man, 4AM comes early! I'm used to going to bed at that time!

[Mr. Kotter]

...Hey! I'm open for getting together Saturday night...let the party begin!...

For me, it's gonna depend on who else joins me for the trip. I have a possibility of having between 3 and 7 Packer fans coming down with me....there will be at least 3.

In any event, if the four that are still "up in the air" do make it, I suspect we'll hit Westport/someplace similar; otherwise, I may get stuck at the hotel that night. I'll monitor what others are doing, and try to join in....if I can.

I hope all is well in your world. It would be good to see you again. :thumb:

[Phobia]

I think you guys have probably talked me into it. I'll ask for prepay options with a menu to be determined based on dollar amount collected. I don't make money on this. I don't want to. I just cover my costs and hang out with friends. I get a kick out of having people enjoy something I've prepared. We'll do tailgating fare, pulled pork, beans, and I guess jambalaya. Any other items selected will be subject to available funds. If you're from out of town and need me to pick up beverages please send an appropriate amount (to include necessary ice), beverage wishes, and I'll be happy to pick that up and throw it in a cooler.

I'd prefer a check so we don't incur service charges by if paypal is your preferred method, then please include enough change to cover the service charge. PM me for mailing address or paypal information.

Awesome, Phil. :thumb:

Thanks.

FTR, don't do the jambalya on just my account; but it was awesome.

Any chance for some PIE this year too??? Heh; Chris STILL talks about that from last year. LMAO

[Phobia]

Nah, the jambalaya is generally a hit. I promise to use white rice.

I'll be happy to coordinate with Steve if he's willing. If he's unwilling, I'd prefer to have it in my usual spot because the crowd is unimportant to me and I think having some room to spread out and toss a ball around is more important than tons of nuisance foot-traffic.

I agree with using your usual spot.

Couldn't be more excited that you're doing this Phil. Thanks. Looking forward to meeting some new (to me) Planeteers. And it will be good to show the Pack fans the REAL way KC does tailgating.

We're leaving STL at 5:00am that morning, so I'll see you around 8:30 at Arrowhead.

Mods,

Do you think this warrants a sticky?

Otherwise, I could just keep bumping it, periodically...I guess. :shrug:

[Third Eye]

If you don't mind forum noobs, then I have myself +3. We usually do our own thing, but the prospect of meeting some planeteers and the jambalaya sold me.

I'll have one of those tasty burritos (spicy). At least I got my order in early!

[luv]

Where is the usual spot. Please tell me I won't have to trudge all the way across the parking lot to the other end of BFE. I'd like to eat with my dad at his tailgate (after all, he doesn't charge me for his ticket). I want to meet everyone. I've yet to meet Kotter and Katie. It will be great to meet another female planeteer!

Also keep us updated on any happenings that may be going on Saturday evening. Dad likes to drive up the morning of, but I could try to talk him into heading up the night before. Whatever is planned, I am not drinking heavily or staying out too late. I want to enjoy my Sunday.

No. My "normal" spot is just west of parking lot "H". That's not far from where your dad tailgates.

Awesome! Maybe I'll be able to drag him over with me.

[Phobia]

Is this close, IRCC ???

Red "X" marks the spot....
Heh. That's close but not very accurate. If you go where your "x" is, you won't be able to find us. There's a large green highway sign just across the road from the "H" lot. I try to get near that sign.

This picture is pinpoint accurate.

Nope. It's about a 7-8 minute leisurely stroll for me.

I'll try to wander by, on our way into the stadium.

Guess who gets to go and tailgate at this one?!!! That's right, me. I'll try and swing by and say Hi

[angel]

I've got myself a ticket to this game, and I would like to join the tailgating fun.

[Hoover]

OK, so I'll be driving in from Des Moines on 35, what is the best way to come in and park somewhat close to Phobia's tailgate?

[Mr. Kotter]

OK, so I'll be driving in from Des Moines on 35, what is the best way to come in and park somewhat close to Phobia's tailgate?

Coming from SD, I've found the "back way" into the stadium is best for both arrival, and leaving and wanting to head North. And for avoiding the major cluster-fugg of traffic on the interstates right around the stadiums. South on 435, exit 23rd Street, west about a block to Manchester, south to Stadium Drive, over the overpass of I-435....to the Parking lots. I park in lot "N" or "O" often.

It's a bit of a juant to the stadium, but pretty close to where Phil's spot is....and getting out after the game, it's pretty easy to get headed North on I-435. Whenever I've parked anywhere else, I have almost always gotten channeled East/West/South by the parking/traffic Nazis--and into heavier traffic.

I've marked the route (badly) in red. Good luck. Hope to meet you. :thumb:

[luv]

However you come in, I suggest Gate 5. it's on the opposite side from most of the gates.

[Phobia]

However you come in, I suggest Gate 5. it's on the opposite side from most of the gates.

No, Kotter is right. Take Stadium Drive off 40 Hwy and turn into the first parking entrance you see. Then take your first right and that will run you right past the tailgate.

[The Poz]

Flying down from Toronto Sat night with a good friend (enemy this coming weekend - Packers fan).
Would love to join in for the food and festivities. We will BYOB and have $$$ on hand for food payment if that is cool. Looking forward to the game, partying in KC for a couple nights and meeting a bunch of you guys.

:toast:

[Marty Mac Ver 2.0]

Can we do this for the Broncos game?

[Mr. Kotter]

Can we do this for the Broncos game?

BigRedChief will have his tailgate that week, I think; since he and stevieray chimed in on this thread, maybe one or both would be willing to "expand" their gig for the Donkey game? :shrug:

Personally, if they do....I think asking for confirmations and money up front (checks mailed, or paypal) would be in order, so they don't get stiffed or left holding the bag. JMHO.

We should start a thread later this week about it....I'll be looking for something that weekend too. :D

[crazycoffey]

I already PM'd phil - and sending a check in the AM. Me and my brother will be there for the tailgate and game for sure. I may try to make the flag football game too, but will know that later this week.

[TinyEvel]

This is very painful for me.

I had tickets, plane reservatins, hotel room, etc. to come out there with Dane McCloud, and this past week my work determined that I am indispensible this weekend. :cuss:

I may not even get a chance to watch it live, though, no surprise, since I missed the Bengals and Fiaders games, due to work. But I DID get this weeknd off. :cuss: BYE WEEK!

I'll defintely be setting up the tailgate for the Donks game and all the Planeteers are welcome to come hang out.

knock it out.... :)

just like you, Im committed to staying in "my spot"......
Why would we move from the coolest spot in the parking lot? We are in the tailgating sweet spot. :)

[chief husker]

Mrs Husker and I will be there.

Where's the flag football game? Are girls allowed to play?

Where's the flag football game? Are girls allowed to play?

Raytown South High School at 1:00 PM on Saturday. Girls probably wouldn't want to play with the boys. We're pretty rough.

Katie, I've watched them. They are pretty rough and I wouldn't recommend it.... but I think it's up to you. I'm excited about dropping by the tailgate and saying hi...I won't be partaking of the delicious food, however, as we have another group we're tailgating wtih, but it will be awesome to meet some of you!

[Bugeater]

OK, one way or another, I'll be in attendance for this at some point. I'm not sure about food as I may be getting tickets that include a pass to the Ambassador's tent, I'm still waiting to hear back on that though, and it's probably a longshot at best. Otherwise I'll have to scrounge up a ticket elsewhere or watch the game on TV in the parking lot. I'll know more for sure tomorrow.

[tooge]

being that it is a wisconsin team and all, I am in charge of a pretty big fish fry for our tailgate. My normal spot is real close though (back of J lot) and I will stop by for sure with my own brew to meet a few other planeteers. I have only met three to this point and most of you guys sound like pretty good folk. See you there but it will be fairly early or fairly late.

Yeah, I got it under control. She's not that easy, though.

I messaged Phil, and I'm going to partake in the pre-game festivities. I will not be wearing tight jeans, however, and I think that everyone will thank me for it (teaching small children does not bode well for tight-fitting clothing).

do you want to be the 6 or the 9?

[OnTheWarpath15]

Well guys, it looks like I'm out.

Things have gotten kinda tight around the Warpath household, so I put my tickets on Ebay with a ridiculous reserve price, and with an hour to go in the auction, they are gonna sell for over $350 for the pair.

Part of me is thrilled to get that kind of cash, but I'm also really disappointed to miss this game, and to meet up with you all.

If anyone comes across a single ticket they are looking to get rid of, please think of me. I have the green light to come up by myself if the possibility arises.

Have fun!

now how am I going to get there!!!! :cuss:


J/K - actually too bad you won't be there and all, but darn it you could have saved me some money if you made this decision last week..... I got a pair of lower levels for a touch over 400, I tried to talk them lower because I don't want the Vista (or villa or whatever) passes, but it was a no go.

Have a good weekend, I'll drink a beer and eat an extra bowl of slop for you.

[crazycoffey]

Gosh I hate pop quiz's.


Come to think of it, wouldn't 69 really be for a gay oral position. Is there no way to make a number for this position where the characters can better represent the gender for us hetero's?

Somebody call Rainman and fax, post haste......

Thanks. Some things happened this week that kinda made this necessary.

I'm really bummed out, but selling is the right thing to do right now.

I'll keep my eyes peeled for a single and might still make the trip.

From what I have heard, if you show up at the stadium.....and wait until about 11:00 or so....you'll be able to buy a single in the parking lot, at less than face value....if you really would like to go. :shrug:

Normally, that would be the case.

After seeing how much tickets are selling for (including my own, $355.00) I'd be worried I'd get shut out.

If I lived in KC, I'd come just for the tailgate, and if I scored a seat, great.

Bit of a risk to drive from STL and then not get a seat.

But it is something I'm considering......

[OnTheWarpath15]

What a damn roller coaster.....

I specifcally requested immediate payment in the auction, due to the fact that I'd have to overnight the tickets today for them to get to the buyer on time.

The lady that bought my parking pass apparently understood this, and I have her payment.

Still no payment on the tickets, even after an e-mail setting a deadline for this afternoon.

We may be making this game after all......

Gotta run. Heading to FedEx to ship the parking pass to the person who COULD follow directions.....

Well, happy Red Friday everyone. :thumb:

So, Phil....where do the confirmations/money put us in terms of numbers for this thing??? :shrug:

[OnTheWarpath15]

Well, the auction winner never paid, so I'll be there.

Due to some crazy scheduling on Saturday, Mrs. OTW58 has elected to stay home and watch on the big screen.

Looking forward to seeing everyone bright and early on Sunday morning.

Also looking forward to getting an extra hour of sleep (don't forget to change your clocks!), considering I'll have to hit the road at 3:30-4:00am, and we have a wedding to attend on Saturday night.

Funny regarding "luck."

I had mentioned to Phil on the phone last night that no matter what happened, I would have felt like I was missing something, yet still gained.

Had she paid, I would have missed the game, but been $350+ richer for it.

Since she didn't, I get to go to the game I've been looking forward to the most since the schedule was released, but it damn sure would have been nice to have that money.

See you on Sunday.

[BigRedChief]

BigRedChief will have his tailgate that week, I think; since he and stevieray chimed in on this thread, maybe one or both would be willing to "expand" their gig for the Donkey game? :shrug:

Personally, if they do....I think asking for confirmations and money up front (checks mailed, or paypal) would be in order, so they don't get stiffed or left holding the bag. JMHO.

We should start a thread later this week about it....I'll be looking for something that weekend too. :D

ALERT: Parking Impact from Current Construction
Nov 01, 2007, 3:38:36 PM


Chiefs fans should experience minimal inconvenience for this Sunday’s game when the Kansas City Chiefs host the Green Bay Packers. Construction will impact the following areas:

Lot A will experience a loss of some parking spaces due to Kansas City Royals construction.
Lot M will also experience some loss of parking spaces due to Royals construction. Alternate and comparable parking for those with Lot M passes can be found at the front of Lot H on the west side and at the front of Lot B on the east side front.
The traditional RV parking on the north side of Kauffman Stadium will be eliminated due to Royals construction. Alternate parking can be found near Lot N on the outer west side of Arrowhead.

Tried to send you a PM but your box was full. I was going to invite you down to Greenwood BBQ for drinks and ask what vehicle to look for in the lot on Sunday. It looks like both questions were answered while I slept. We'll get in town about 9 or 9:30.

Phil, well done with the grub. It was much appreciated and delicious. Glad we found you guys and again, thanks for your hard work.
For the rest of the gang, it was a pleasure meeting and chatting with you all. We had a great time regardless of the outcome of the game.
I'd also like to thank averyone that gave me suggestions on where to go and what to check out on K.C. We had a blast partying in Westport and the Plaza each night. I don't recall the names of most of the bars we crawled into (I do recall having fun at The Dark Horse on Sat. and 810 the Zone on Sunday). The other bars were a bit of a haze. So they must have been fun.
Hit Gates BBQ on our way to the airport on Monday and it was great. Not as good as Phil's pulled pork but I'm still burping up Gates.
Pictures of my trip will follow when I find cables to my camera.
Great time and hope to make the long trip back in the near future, eh!
