Here's what every tailgate needs:


Paper Plates, Plasticware, Napkins
Bottled Water
Pop/Soda
Condiments (Ketchup, Mustard, Relish)

Thanks for doing this. I'll be there with dannyek71 and I'll bring a veggie tray with dip, plus tortilla chips and Bison Southwest Chipotle dip. I might bring some Zweigles hot dogs and rolls too.

Phil has paper plates, napkins, utensils and all that which we bring each week. I think he said that he will be making Buffalo Chicken Strips for the opener. :up:

Pride,

Can you email me the map to the area of the tailgate? I cant view it here at work. Is it still by the fieldhouse near the Pinto?

[User Manuel]

What are you bringing this year? :hungry:

Mikey!!!! Am I getting my tix from you there?

[realdealryan]

We'll be bringing the crockpot and chicken/cheese/buffalo dip stuff that Miranda makes. And whiskey. And ourselves. And likely my early '90s Bills jumpsuit.

[Michael82]

Mikey!!!! Am I getting my tix from you there?
Yeah, I responded to your PM. You will get the tickets there or at the party the night before.... :up:

Sounds good! :up:

Can you also be our driver on Saturday night? :pray:

Works for me. :up:

[Michael82]

Pride,

yup, it's in the same place it always is, in Lot 1, the newly paved lot.

[Michael82]

If anyone wants to bring rolls and burgers, that would be good. :up:



Oh and if Mad Bomber catches this, you can always bring your delicious desserts.... :hungry:

[Mad Bomber]

I live near an EXCELLENT bakery, and will bring hot dog and hamburger buns.

I'll also bring some brats, burgers, and Mikey's favorite... CANOLI!!!

[hammerbillsfan]

mmmmmmm Canoli :drool:

[Mad Bomber]

mmmmmmm Canoli :drool:
Do you prefer regular or the chocolate covered ones? Everybody seemed to like the chocolate ones, so I'll bring a couple dozen of those.

[Mad Bomber]

Message to ALL:

DO NOT bring hot dog or hamburger buns....I've got that covered.

I'll bring baked goods fresh from the bakery.

Hot dog buns, hamburger buns, Kaiser rolls, canoli....

[LtFinFan66]

damn you Mad

[jamze132]

I wish I could be there, all this food sounds great!

I'm going to make some hot wings for myself and watch the game in font of my ****ing computer.

[Mad Bomber]

Heidelberg????

Hell, I'd like to come over and head over to Vetter for some EXCELLENT pils, some reasonably priced food, and then watch the game on the ****in' computer.

:beers:

[Michael82]

Chocolate covered ones are the best as long as they stay cold, so the chocolate isnt all melted. :hungry:

[don137]

When is everyone getting the lot? I am flying up Saturday from Charlotte and staying at the Holiday Inn by the airport The guy I am going with was thinking of heading to the stadium around 1:30 which I am thinking way too late. I am going to try and convince him to head up earlier (since everyone needs the condoments for their burger, brats and dogs).
Taking my 10 year old son and want to have him soak up as much of the Bills experience as possible.

[Pride]

Don, most of us are there prior to the lots opening... by 1:30 you'd miss half of the tailgate!

[don137]

Don, most of us are there prior to the lots opening... by 1:30 you'd miss half of the tailgate!

I agree completely. I somehow need to convince my buddy to leave much earlier for the tailgate.
Anyone driving by the airport enroute to the stadium on Sunday that has room for two people? I may need a ride to the stadium if I can not convince him to go early. I sit with my buddy so I would only need a ride there. I would go back to the hotel with him.

[Dr. Lecter]

I'll stop over and say hi and visit for a bit, but have another tailgate w/out of town friends that I sit with in the mud lot.

[BAM]

Why doesn't your buddy want to come early, Don?

[jamze132]

Maybe we can switch places next year's home opener...

My goal is not to get too drunk Saturday night and not stay out too late, so I can get there by 10am at the latest. :up:

[don137]

Why doesn't your buddy want to come early, Don?

Good question. I asked him yesterday when he was thinking of leaving for the game and he said around 1:30. I never said it but was thinking that is way too late. Flying all the way from Charlotte from the game I rather be tailgating with fellow Bills fans and showing my son what a real tailgate looks like over what he sees at Panthers games than sitting in my hotel room.
I am going to ask him today what is the earliest he would want to go to the game.

I see. Well you could always just call a taxi! They're not that expensive. I'll be riding around in one all weekend! I would stop and pick you guys up as I'm driving right past the airport on the way to the stadium, but my Xterra is full.

[Michael82]

Famous last words...I heard about drunk Mikey the night before home openers.
You won't meet Drunk Mikey this year. Sorry. :(

[THATHURMANATOR]

You always have to be 1 minute better than me don't you!!!!

One thing though you can't park in the Stadium lots until 5 hours before the game. The Grass one I park is wheneva wheneva.

[BAM]

So that's it huh? Not a very big crowd this year! Oh well it's gonna be awesome regardless!!! Can't wait.

[don137]

Alright, talked to my buddy. He said he will go when I am ready to go on Sunday. Very psyched. Will get there between 12-1PM. We'll just park elsewhere and walk with our cooler plus condiments & chips over to the Billszone tailgate.
