I'd planned on taking my camera to the Vikings game, since we were considering that the "official" tailgate. You'd better believe I'm taking it on Halloween, too!

Good to meet you too. I'm sure that there will be other times to chat at Wizards as well. Yeah, the drive back sucked. Just south of Durant, some guy was crossing the highway and I hit him. Turns out it was just my right side mirror that hit him, but when I first saw him, he was front and to the left of me. WTF was he doing out there? He is going to be ok and missed death by a couple of inches.

Oh, who was the guy that was doing the old man rap to rundmc with me? That was pretty funny, thanks for playing!

Tailgating firsts: I was actually asked to turn down my music at one point...hehehe.

That came from my crew, TBH. They're more used to being able to sit around, play games, and talk. They're not used to having to try to talk over music. They didn't mind it once it was turned down though.

And your point is? ;-)

I will report any long term trauma after we see them again at the family xmas party.

Also, please have a taste of the Boulevard Nommo Dubbel and let me know what you think. I was really impressed.

You know I had to bring it up. The funny part is that I only nudged it down a very miniscule amount and that seemed to be fine. :-)

It was quite a bit quieter though. Weird.

I know I'll like it. Never met a Dubbel I didn't like.

BTW, the next tailgate was what we had originally decided as being the official CP tailgate. I expect to see people there! If not then, then definitely the MNF game. Let's hear it. Who's going to be there?

Bob Dole will not be able to make it... It will probably be 11/27, if at all.

I am sorry but count me out for this one. I cannot in good judgment spend money on this at the moment. I was hesitating because I haven't been home for any discernable time since late June as some of you know. After today I'm done til next year, so that most likey means that SNF and MNF are out as well. I just can't do this. I can look at my empty seats on TV and know that I have done what I can to make a statement regarding this ridiculous display today. This is beyond embarrassing.....there is absolutely no excuse.

Completely understandable, especially with coming up from as far as you do. I doubt tickets would be easy to sell, so we'll be there, especially since it's just a day trip for us.

If you're willing to donate a pair of tickets to a game, I'll gladly go and wear a bag on my head. MNF maybe?

Oh, and SNF is out anyway. We'll be flexed out of that game.

I'll be at the vikings game. No bag on my head.

I posted all of my tickets on stubhub... if anyone wants a single lower level/goal line ticket to the Vikings, Chargers, Broncos, or Packers, PM me.

I thought about posting them all last week, but didn't want to overreact... stupid me.

:(

.and I was gonna join the tailgate with my van...i too would take a donation so I could take my wife to MNF.

You're still welcome to park the van out there. We don't have the music, but we've got the grill space, and hopefully a few Planeteers.

LiveSteam also bailed, Joey is going to be using my extra ticket.

Sure glad I was able to catch ya on week one then.

I know, and I'm pretty pissed about this, but it's really hard to justify the expenses of a trip from Texas 4-5 times a year for a team that most likely win half or less of those games. :harumph:

I need to sell the tix as Plan A, but if that doesn't work, I'll let you and/or OTW have first crack at them as a Plan B. :) I would rather have Chiefs fans in those seats.

Me too! :toast:

There will be other times, I'm sure. :thumb:

OTW, if you get a crack at these, and the wife can't (or doesn't want to) go, I'd go again. they are pretty sweet seats

Monty, if you're not getting any bites on these, let me know, I might be able to get one or two of the weeks in.

When did you turn into a blind homer?

Still planning on the Vikings game?

I'm in the same boat. The whole weekend around the game is great and I think September is the best time to come up to KC for a visit but the way the team sucks right now. Not worth it. Definately coming up next year though and if they are playing well I might come up twice.

Tailgating is worth heading to Arrowhead by itself. Go tailgate and then go play mini-golf or catch a movie at noon.

something came up, got a call today from my new unit commander, that weekend is a "can't miss" weekend drill, so here's to it only being a random piss test and not the accountability formations that lead to a trip....

It's too bad that the Chiefs have to suck. I always have fun tailgating, but it's always more fun when there's more people to meet and talk to.

Yep. I'm designating this the season of tailgating (again) and plan on playing golf, fishin, etc. in the afternoons.

Im sure the tailgating will be "Primo" in Nov/Dec when the Chiefs are 1-12.

Tailgating is ALWAYS primo.

For whatever reason, its never really been my thing. Especially when its cold. Id prefer to just show up and watch the game. Too much work for me. : )

Just over a week until we get to tailgate again!

It sucks we have to attend an ass raping afterwards. Makes me feel gay to go to those.

I think the Vikings are one of the teams people are worried we'll beat.

LMAO I ****ing hate this place.

not worried at all. That doesn't mean I want to lose the game though.

I was debating on whether I wanted to go this weekend, but someone bought my ticket last night, so I'm out.

I thought about going just for the tailgate, and the possibility of seeing a win, but 1) two 0-3 teams whose QBs are 30th and 31st in the NFL in yardage just doesn't seem worth it, and 2) I can basically use the ~$120 saved on the ticket/parking for the round-trip to Omaha & tickets to two hockey games, and still have ~$30 left over for food.

Well, we are slowly dwindling. Glad we had a great group to start the year!

I'm thinking we can unsticky the thread. Just a reminder to everyone that we will be there nearly every game (not sure about Christmas Eve right now). Anyone is welcome to stop by and borrow the grill, BYOB and hang out awhile.

nothing can be relied upon

20-17 ROFL

I take this guy is a Chargers fan? I'm not sure what he's laughing at, unless it's the fact that they only beat us by three instead of a lot more.

Apparently dad has quite a few friends coming. He said they're expecting 40 people at the tailgate this weekend. Maybe because it's one of very few games people feel we have a halfway decent shot at actually winning.

I'm going to be in town this weekend with a buddy, and we may be looking for a tailgate. If we are, can we glom onto a CP tailgate? Warning - my buddy will be in Purple...

Not sure what the etiquette is for out of towners crashing a tailgate...

Bring what you can. If you don't have anything that you can bring, there's plenty, trust me. I believe Mr. Flopnuts said he'd be stopping by with a Vikings friend, and I believe Bugeater is bringing two with him. Pretty sure there might be a few in our group that might be in Vikings jerseys as well.

Awesome, thanks! We're staying in a hotel, and doubt we'll have a fridge, so it could be a bit tricky. If we were to bring something that we could pick up locally, what would you suggest?

I assume it's BYOB?

I see the listing on location at the top of this thread, but how do we identify the exact group? Pretty obvious once we're there?

You'll know ours. Monte won't be there, but you can look for this as you walk along the road.

I wish you guys had something that was identifiable... ;)

Is there anything at all we could bring? This will be my first Arrowhead tailgate, so not sure what all people bring to these things, and I'd hate to be a total mooch. I'd be glad to chip in some funds, if that's better...

Whatever you want to do is fine. I'll be wearing my LUV jersey, #76. If you can't find me, the people I go with are used to people coming up and asking for "luv"...lol.

Last time, a member of our tailgate crew (not on CP) was trying to get my attention. He called my name a few times, but I didn't answer. The first time he said luv, I turned around. All day after that, he talked to me in a British accent and called me luv.

Luv, thanks for much for letting me and my buddy crash your tailgate! We had an awesome time, and it was great to meet you and a few other CP'ers. The grub was fantastic, and that jambalaya is to die for! I think I'm still full. ;) Tailgating at Arrowhead was all I hoped it to be, and more - can't wait to do it again...

Thanks again for your hospitality and generosity!

Dad has enjoyed two of the three Bob's 47 you left in the cooler. :)

Pictures from the tailgate. Looking forward to MNF!

Speaking of MNF, I've changed my mind and will be there. I'm over the butthurt from Opening Day and am leaving Taiwan tomorrow and really need to get in some quality tailgating. :D

I'm assuming they'll open the gates around 3-3:30, so pre-tailgating will start around Noonish at the gate? :toast:

Also, I'm thinking of parking the Command Center on the west side in the grass vs. on the east side so those blaring speakers don't offend this time. Those crazy kids and their rock 'n roll music..... :p

I have no clue on directions up there. Are you just saying you're parking on the other side of the RV?

Also, can I start seeing who we might have show up? I like the occasional surprise, but I kind of like knowing how many to expect.

Oh, and, while I will be drinking, I will not be getting wasted this time around.

I had to read it a couple times but I think he means he will park with his speakers facing arrowhead instead of facing Lot N.

Dedicatedfan and I will be there.

Noticed that there are some LL tickets for sale in the tickets forum for the MNF game.:D

Apparently some people are allowed to have their threads in the main forum until they sell. I am not one of those people.

Yeah, I knew there were some issue with creating ticket sales threads in the Lounge so I figured I needed to at lest put something out there in a common thread

Just wondering if there's any more interest in this now that there's a little more on the line with the game.

Also, does anyone now if they plan on opening the gates prior to 4pm (three hours before the game)?

I will have Halloween candy to hand out. :)

Should be a good time. Hope to see a lot of you guys.

I will be handing out Halloween jello shots. :eek:

I'm pretty sure they will. I think that's more of a suggestion.

Well, shit. I guess that means I need to dress up.

Just say the name "luv" and I'll know who you are and you can have as many as you want.

We are making a MNF beer bong today. I'll post pics how it turns out.

Where will you guys be? We are at F24 at the crosswalk in this...

I'll be in town for this one as well. Thanks for the invite! It's been a couple of years since I've been able to attend and I'm TOTALLY stocked! Looking forward to seeing some of the old faces and meeting new ones...

So if we say the name "luv" we get unlimited jello shots too, correct? ;)

I'll have the keg on the Command Center, so there will be plenty of beer for the bong. :toast:

No kids at this one with us, so the music probably won't be a big deal.

Although...

At my dad's surprise party Saturday night, they turned the volume up on the World Series game, and someone asked them to turn it down because you could hardly hear the other person talking. That person was someone we tailgate with. Heh.

Ok, I'll bring the NASCAR earplugs just in case. :D

I'm really excited about this game....can't wait!!

Still haven't decided on menu yet, but there's still time. Will definitely do the jalapeno poppers, but wanted to make something to go with them. We had those last year for the Chargers game, so I don't want to mess with success.

I haven't heard our menu yet either. I would assume Jambalaya and eggs. It's a staple.

and it gives it that crunch.

Ha. Will probably have a certain bird fresh from being hunted. Limited supply. ;)

all sounds good too me ... have fun my friends ....

outstanding!!!!:thumb:

Latest news from Arrowhead. The gates will be open at 3:00p.m. for MNF!!

More latest news. I am replacing the starter on the command center. Not sure if it will be done on time. Keep the fingers crossed.

That blows...
