Thread for Nov 8: Giants vs. Bucs in Tampa

this was the earliest game thread in BBI history.

$150 per for the playoff game. A friend of mine who is a Cowboys fans got the same deal for this year.

Look into it. You won't be disappointed.

I'm flying in on midday Friday, and he should show up much later.

Someone from Tampa needs to take charge of this as we get closer so we know where we all can hang out before the game.

Plus they would know the ins & outs of that place.

let me attend, other wise I would be glad to take charge of the tail gate. Fred should/will chime in.

We will have a tailgate set up for sure, all are welcome. It's a great stadium but bring a hat, sun screen and expect to be in the sun all day. Hope to see you there!

I wanted to be in on the group purchase here a month or two back, but the thread seemed to have disappeared. We did manage to get seats at the 50-yd line, upper deck.

This will be my first time back to Raymond James since the playoff game en route to the '07 SB.

BigBlue in Keys: you really think that will be necessary for a 4:00 game in November?
PS: I was at Giants vs. Rams early October 2005. The day was so warm I actually did get a minor sunburn!

We're going to be in Lot14 for the game. The lot opens 3.5 hours before kickoff. I'm thinking 12;30 for the 4 o'clock game.

Everyone invited to join us. I'm just organizing it. Everyone bring what you need for yourself. But everyone bring an appetizer type that we can share. I'm open for any other suggestions. It's not a dictatorship! Let me know so we'll have an idea. friccio@cfl.rr.com

We do need a grill. I only have a big gas grill that I can't transport. I'm working on a charcoal one and will get a cheap one if necessary!

Other things ... chairs, tables, a canoapy/tent, radio, anything else?
Carl you may not need sunscreen but anyone coming from the North will/should need it.

Beer...I don't think the county allows liquor sales on Sundays so if you're coming in from out of town your need to get it prior to Sunday!

Mrvax...e-mail me friccio@cfl.rr.com.

I was going to start a thread once the game got closer but this is a good start.

I remember go to Grunnings-on-the-hill back in the day. Is it still there? there were 2 Grunnings (right?) one down in town (South Orange) and then one 'on the hill' up South Orange Ave.

Anything else?

We're thinking of going to Leroy Selmon's (Buc's Hall of fame Defensive Tackle) on Saturday night. Nice place features BBQ but has a full menu.

It's almost right around the corner from the stadium.

$25 in Lot 14. E-mail me if interested and I'll contact you with information!

very interested in parking pass, but don't see your email listed. Can you post it, or let me know a way to contact you. Thanks

Maybe even a 2nd smaller one too, a 10x10 canopy, and a big folding table. I'm sure we will have extra cooler space if anyone needs too. We will have a big tray of pulled pork for pulled pork sammies and something to grill, but if anyone needs the grills to cook feel free. As far as sun protection I would. It ends up being a long day in the sun.

See you boys soon!! Let's keep the winning up!!

giving the thread a bump to keep alive and if any other posters will be there...
