Going on the field after the game!

Fred-in-Florida : 10/1/2014 10:11 am
We responded to and were 'selected' to get passes to go on the field after the game on Sunday!

Has anyone else done this? What was you experience. Is it worth it?

ride from Clermont.
I have done both pre game and post game  
upstatenyg : 10/1/2014 10:32 am : link
before is def better.

aftewards, is still good, but many players are in a hurry and you also have to wait until the very end of the game.

if you haven't done it, i would, esp if you have kids with you.

Thanks, my son had passes for the Cardinals game, the line was really long so they didn't go in. My brother-in-law and nephew are flying up from Atlanta just for the game. So we'll see.
It is worth it

I did it after the Texans game. You report to a VIP "corral" by the Pepsi gate after the game where you get wristbands for field access for about 30 minutes. If you bring kids they have a blast running around. The stadium looks alot more massive looking up from the NFL logo on the 50 yd line. Bring your camera and have fun.
Field passes?

cool
Good thing it's wristbands  
Rocky Thompson : 10/1/2014 10:50 am : link

And not a pledge pin. If Steve Young is doing the game, tell him I said Hi...

Just curious....

How do you get these passes. I am a season ticket holder and have never been offered this..thanks
We had post game field passes last game

It really wasn't worth it to me. By the time we got to the field, all the players and everyone were already gone, so it was just the fans running around on the field. We took a couple pictures and there really wasn't anything else to do. We had already been on the field for Draft Night. If you have young kids, they'd probably be excited; otherwise, I don't think I'd bother doing it again.

I was wondering what that huge crowd of people was when we left the game.
Pre Game Pass > Post Game

That being said its worth it if you have young kids.
I did it after AZ game

It was cool.. Nothing overwhelming. The "G-Line" was performing at mid-field. There was nobody else on the field except security staff keeping people away form the sideline, coaches club, and broadcast equipment.

Don't be turned off by the line. it moves fast. And when it is time to go in, you all go together. Plus, by the time you get to your car, no traffic!

They send you an email that you use for your account!

The account is in my sons email so I don't see it but he did!

Maybe check you spam!
you can also call the ticket office  
upstatenyg : 10/1/2014 12:19 pm : link
if you are a season ticket holder, and tell them you are interested in those types of things.

i did so last year, and got a few calls about pre-post game stuff.

like others said, it was cool, but nothing over the top. fun to do once.

I have 4 field passes for pre game any tips.
not really  
upstatenyg : 10/1/2014 2:45 pm : link
it is pretty self explanatory.

you will be very close, and see lots of players from both sides.

be prepared to know player names, if you call their name, they will often turn, and occasionally come over.

be prepared with lots of different action at once, Eli will be with receivers, special teams will be together, D line in one place, etc.

have a camera, and butter up the staff that is with you to stay as long as possible, last year I stayed during the national anthem, with a full stadium before leaving the field, amazing.

Awesome

It's my sons 6th birthday This should be sick.

What time did you get there
I dont recall exact timing  
upstatenyg : 10/1/2014 4:17 pm : link
whenever they permitted us to go, I think I was inside at 1130ish. Went on field by noon. Players are out there from 11 am onwards. 2 hours is a lot of time to be there, so plan accordingly.
