Giants in Jacksonville - Nov.30th

Fred-in-Florida : 4/24/2014 4:27 pm
The last time the Giants were in Jacksonville I purchased tickets which included a Tailgate supplied by the Jaguars. It worked out pretty well. They haven't finalized the menu because they are getting a new caterer. They had basic stuff hamburgers, Hot Dogs, a cheap steak, salads, desserts, beer and soft drinks.
There is a minimum of 20 tickets needed to be purchased. I'm looking to get the best seats available. Giants (and Steelers) tickets are premium priced. Looks like depending on the section, the cost will be between $140 to $153.
I'm not looking to make any money on this just to get a Florida BBI together!
Let me know if you’re interested and any thoughts on this.

That's a pretty good deal, $150 for tickets and a tailgate with food and beer? I may be interested in that if I can get some buddies to take the trip down.
Count me in

I'll be there regardless whether there is a BBI contingent. Jax stadium upgrades are going to be pretty nice. They are upgrading their scoreboard such that they'll be the largest in the league. And they are adding cabanas with wading pools along with upgrading their club offerings. It is one of the cheapest tickets around the league. The last preseason matchup between the two, I sat 2 rows behind the Giants sideline on the 50 yard line. Awesome time, despite the loss.
Keep us updated Fred

We tailgated together in Tampa a few years back. Looking forward to Jax this year.
The weather should be awesome as well.  
Diver_Down : 4/24/2014 4:40 pm : link
With a 1 pm game, the temps should be mid 70's.
I'm good for 3.

We tailgated in Tampa a few years back and had a blast. Love the Nov 30th date. I think it was week 2 or 3 in Tampa last time and it was so damn hot.
Keep Me Posted Too

Live in Tampa and haven't seen them play in-person in a long while. I'm looking forward to it.
debating between Jax and Tenn  
YAJ2112 : 4/24/2014 4:43 pm : link
wanted to go to Nashville, but I think Jax will be much better given the dates of the 2 games weather wise.
I was thinking about heading up there as well

My family is coming down for Thanksgiving this year, so it lined up fairly well.
Hmmmmmm...

My youngest daughter will be starting at UNF in the fall and I know I'll be bringing her back to campus that day after the Thanksgiving break. Might be a win-win for me.

I'm going to this game

I'm coming from New Jersey. My buddy lives in Tallahassee Florida and is going to meet me there. I went to Dallas last year and want to do another road game.
This year is working out unbelievably for me.  
L.T.=Lawrence Taylor : 4/24/2014 5:00 pm : link
We booked our Hall of Fame trip before Michael Strahan and obviously the game was announced, and now the Giants are in Jacksonville on my birthday and a buddy of mine is a season ticket holder.
Anyone go to the Monday nighter in Jacksonville back in 06 or 07?  
L.T.=Lawrence Taylor : 4/24/2014 5:02 pm : link
It was freezing that night!
Great early response

I remember tailgating with you guys in Tampa too! I took everyone's name that day but didn't get e-mails. Send me your e-mail's so I can update you as we go. It was Hot inside and there was a Thunder Shower. I just sat there and purposely got soaked and then was cool the rest of the game. The Buc's didn't have a first down until almost the 4th QTR.

Pat that was the night we had the first tailgate. We played pretty bad and it was freezing.

His birthday is Nov 30 -- I was there with him at the 06 game - around same time of year - yes it was freezing that night. We lost -I remember Tiki doing some things - but afterwards he began grumbling about TC and the system. I'm thinking of going this year.
I'm local in Jax  
Dan_Soprano : 4/24/2014 5:48 pm : link
And plan on going with the wife! Count us in!
if I'm still in the state by then

which is up in the air, I'll be in.
That might be something  
LPete : 4/24/2014 6:18 pm : link

For a round on Friday and Saturday at the stadium course and then Sunday to watch a giants win. Perfect weekend

Im in atlanta and was planning on going to that game or the Tennessee game, so this makes my choice easier. Keep me posted please. Let me know if you need my email address if your planning on setting it up that way.
Thanks
Everyone

Fred:

About 60 of us coming up from Orlando! We were thinking of doing our own thing, but that sounds great! Where do I get the info?
We will have our own group also  
BigBlue in Keys : 4/24/2014 10:07 pm : link
but will definitely be interested in meeting up the days before hand as well. I have a feeling there will be LOTS of blue in Jax! Met a ton of Giants fans in Tampa for the '07 wildcard game and the '09 thundershower game but sadly that was before I had ever known about BBI.
Count me in

This figures to be the cheapest place to watch Giants football this season.
Count me in for 2  
Murphman7678 : 4/25/2014 10:55 am : link
I will be down there on Saturday morning, looking forward to some great weather and great times. Keep me posted on info and when you might need $$ to reserve spots. amurphy7678@gmail.com
Thanks Fred
