Tampa Tailgate Tonight

BigBlue in Keys : 11/22/2021 10:15 am

The Suncoast Giants fan club is setting up their tailgate in Lot 14 this afternoon and have extended us and any Giants fan an invite. Most likely we will be in the front of the parking lot closest to the stadium, there's a big grassy area there. Same place our BBI tailgate in 2017 was set up. I'll update with an exact location once we get in.

They will have a few grills set up. They said if you can bring some food to contribute great and if you're on the road and can't bring anything donations are accepted too. Sounds like plenty of beer and booze to go around as well. I'll have my old blue #90 JPP jersey on, stop by say hi and Let's Go Giants!!

Flew in from ATL last night

Will have my nephews with me along with their significant others. No specific plans to tailgate, but would like to meet up with some Giant fans...we will have cornhole boards, beer, etc.

That's awesome John.

If you can get parking passes in Lot 14 come join the party. They're trying to be in line to the lot by 330 and thinking it opens at 4. You used to be able to pay cash day of but I'm not sure if that's still the case. Look for the big crowd of people in Blue. Most definitely less Giants fans in town this year compared to all the past years, but we're going to have a good time.

Sounds good!

Went online and saw some parking passes available for Lot 14. Will keep you posted! He got free club seats for the game tonight so not sure if it includes parking...

Can't wait for Miami, but we'll miss you Jim.

Heck I miss all of our normal Tampa crew! I don't think it's going to sound like MetLife South this game but we'll give'm hell.

Hey Cap’n Bill…

Up in the front to the left side if you're looking at the stadium. White Tent with white covered cocktail tables. Charcoal grill is burning. Next to a blue and red Giants tent also.

This is the first Florida game I’ve missed since I moved down 18 years ago.

Looking forward to seeing you guys in Miami in 2 weeks!

Same from me....

always tag onto Fred's trips he has set up. Outrageously loyal fan. Miami is out for me, can't swing that w/e.

Wanted to give a shout out to the mods for pinning the post yesterday.

Thanks guys. Tony, Fred, Ed, Jim we sure missed you guys. You picked a good one to skip!! Very few Giants fans came out for this one. Can't wait for the day we can do it again with all of you. I know we'll have Fred and Jim in Miami in a few weeks that should be a blast and possibly a win able game.

Also a big shout out to Tim with the Suncoast Giants group. Setup a big tailgate all by himself and the open bar was awesome.
