In past discussions there has been a lot of interest in meeting on Saturday night before the game against Jacksonville.
Not knowing the area, a couple of sports bar type places have been recommended, Kickbacks and the Players Grill.
I have been in contact with both places but I need to know how many people would like to meet up for something (light) to eat and a couple beers!
So let me know if you're interested and how many in your group.
Thanks
Run the places by you friends and ask which of those 2 they prefer. Are they in a good area. Hopeful, you'll be joining us?
Are you Bill?

At least 2 of us. Not sure when the 4 others in my group plan on getting into town. We are in for whichever place you choose. I'll be in town Friday night as well, open to any suggestions if any other fans get in early. Thanks again man for all your efforts for this weekend!
Are you Bill?
Thanks, My pleasure. I don't mind at all. I then enjoy meeting other BBI'ers.
Kickbacks & Players are in okay areas. Kickbacks is in the Riverside area of Jax. It's kinda hipsterish. Parking is tight around there, but Kjckbacks is a cool place. There is another eatery, The Blind Rabbit, opposite that is also very good. Players Grille is down San Marco/Hendricks blvd. good area, easy to get to, ample parking. The food is so-so, nowhere near as good as kickbacks, but it's a good family owned sports bar.
great beer selection, tons of real estate, good food
That's where I'll be anyway

Where is Jacksonville Landing? Is there a better place/Area?
I saw the Hampton you have booked for that Saturday night as I passed by on I-275; it's across the highway from a Holiday Inn I've stayed at a couple of times while my daughter had her school visits / orientation at UNF. Not very familiar with bar/restaurant places there, but the area seems decent. The hotel is not too far from the St.John's Town Center which has a bunch of eating spots (Cheesecake Factory, PF Changs, Bahama Breeze, Maggiano's, etc.), but no sports bars that I am aware of.
Looking forward to catching up with folks... especially Joey from Va who I always thought I'd like to meet.
Can you guys recommend a decent hotel, in a decent area, somewhat close to the stadium?

See you guys in Jax.
Yeah. I'm going to the game. I am going with my friend who lives in Tallahassee. Jax is 3 or so hours from Tallhassee and I'm flying down there on Tuesday night. I don't know if we're traveling that morning or we'll go to someone's house I'll see if I can get get tickets in 240 either the night before or the morning of.

Just when I play a few good rounds...it all goes to s--t! Well that's golf. But being in Florida I do get to play regularly.
