Now that the schedule has been announced, I have spoken to several "old timers" like myself, some of whom were at the last Barcelona restaurant on Western ave in Albany with me during the last camp. What made that location work is we could all walk of the field, hit the bar, our hotel or the restaurant. No driving. We were all compacted.
The Meadowlands is not conductive for that. I have a suggestion that partially re-creates the "Albany experience".
I live in the city and take the bus from Port Auth. to Metlife. Rd trip is $9 and takes about 20 min. There are reasonable places to stay near Port Auth. we could all take the bus over together, and have dinner at say Carmine's which serves "family style" meals which would keep the cost down.
I am going to camp on Aug 2 and 3. That Fri would be a great day to get together. Let get some feedback on this idea. If there is enough interest, I would be glad to do the legwork.
I'd definitely be interested in something of this nature.
I plan on hitting a couple of practices on my lunch hour. LOL
