BillsZone Home Opener Tailgate 2011

[Michael82]

Due to all the rule changes, we have decided to move out of the official lots. The BillsZone crew and Phil have been tailgating in Hammer's Lot for the pre-season and liked the new location and the cheaper price. It's only $20 vs $25 cash for the official lots. So, without further adieu, Here's our new location....

Location



BILLSZONE TAILGATE RULES

• B.Y.O.B. - Bring your own beer
• If you plan on eating, please bring food to contribute.
• Please be courteous of fellow tailgaters.
• Kids may be in proximity, please watch language and subject matter

PARKING RATES

All Cars and Trucks - $20.00

TAILGATING

Tailgating is permitted at all stadium parking lots. Stadium lots open four hours before the game and close approximately two hours following the game. However, due to us parking in a private lot, we can get there as early as 7:00am and start tailgating! We are also allowed to tailgate after the game and don't need to leave after 2 hours, like the official lots.

One thing to keep in mind. Due to this now being the new official lot of Kenny the pinto guy and also the home of the Two Bills Drive home opener tailgate, the lot will fill up very quickly. So please make sure to come early. Phil and I will both do our part to save some spaces for the regulars, but we can't guarantee anything if you arrive after 9am.

Pride usually takes care of this thread, but he hasn't been around lately, so I figured I would do it again, like last year.

This thread is to keep track of who is/isn't coming, and what everyone is bringing (to avoid overlap). Here are the details!

The opener is at 1 PM, and the lot opens at 7:00AM. Phil, Pride and I are going to try to save some spots, but with this being a smaller lot and it being the home opener, it will definitely fill up quickly, so please get there early!

Sweet! That's a pretty cool place to put the food on.

Are you going to bring your tent too? We could use one because Lecter is tailgating with his fellow Season ticket holders in the mud lot.

Lot 1 is on Big Tree.

If you are in the private lot that is behind the fieldhouse, that is the same lot I park in

Other side of the stadium.......
Not behind the fieldhouse.
Lot 1 is there as well....Thats Southwest blv right??

[hydro]

California is parallel with abbott and is about half way between Abbott and 219. You are a ways away from Lot 1 but in that vicinity. I take Calfornia Rd when I am on my way home.

[hydro]

But the way you are explaining it sounds like you are talking about Big Tree. Lot 1 is on Big Tree.

[T-Long]

Not sure how early we are going to get to the stadium, but we may just park somewhere and then walk over
