MUST READ: For Those Attending BBI Trophy Presentation

Eric from BBI : Admin : 7/24/2014 2:07 pm
OK, here are the details.

Practice will supposedly run from 1:20-3:30PM. However, they have been finishing sooner at times.

Practice on Friday will be held on fields 1 and 2. It was suggested that BBI'ers sit in the stands near those fields (which I believe are to the left if you are facing the complex from the parking lot).

At 3:00PM, everyone who is with BBI must report to parking lot K-5 (clearly marked).

We will then be escorted through the VIP gate for the presentation.

HOWEVER, for you to attend the practice, you must e-mail me with your full name and the full name of those coming with you. The Giants want us to check people off as they come through the gate.

So you must e-mail me today or tonight with name(s) at info@bigblueinteractive.com. Even if you have been e-mail me already, please e-mail me again so I can create a list from scratch.

Tomorrow won't work as I won't have e-mail access (I'll be on the train and don't have a mobile device).

For those who want to attend the get-together after:

upstatenyg was kind enough to arrange the following:

Reservation for the group at Shannon Rose after the trophy presentation. It is located at 98 Kingsland Road, Clifton, NJ and the phone number is 973-284-0200. It is just down rte 3, maybe 10 min from the Stadium.

The reservation is set up for 4:30 PM in the Gaelic Room. In terms of ordering food and drink, everything is individual and they said they would do whatever anyone wants, individual checks, just drinks, apps, whatever.

K-5 is supposedly right behind the bleachers where it was recommended that we sit.
Thanks Eric. I will email you.

I assume they need adult names? Maybe an indication of how many kids? or do you want kids names also.

they want everyone's names - just so they can check them off as we go through security.

MookGiants : 7/24/2014 5:26 pm : link
where that restaurant is, but if you have to go 3 west, around that time is usually jammed traffic wise. Shouldnt take forever but you will probably be sitting in a decent amount of traffic
May I ask..?

You own a site that has thousands of members. You probably get emailed daily plus always wanting to check your email..

You don't have a smartphone?

We should do a BBI donation for that too.. Gotta have one, probably only person I've heard without a smart phone

No, I don't have one. I have an 8-year old cell phone that I never turn on. :)
It is not far

and if ceremony ends by 4 as expected, traffic may double the 10 min drive to 20.

is real bad.. You can exit off of rt.3 west at the Lyndhurst exit and take Ridge Road to Kingsland Ave. make a right and Kingsland will take you all the way to the Shannon Rose. It could be an option if Rt.3 worse than anticipated.

That's not the same kingsland rd that will run right to Shannon rose..though you take that (which is north Arlington) down and cross bridge and make right onto river road..then left up kingsland rd (Clifton)..Shannon rose would be on right in shopping complex

I printed off the list so if you didn't get back to me by this morning, there is nothing I can really do re: Giants security.

We have about 50 in the group. See you soon!
I am by k-5
