Going to the Vikings game ?

TheMalcolmConnection · 09-06-2006, 02:24 PM

Here's a pic. If you plan on tailgating with us, get with Warpath and Gmanc to make sure that you park next to us so we can take over some spots because I might be the last to get there.

ArtMonkDrillz · 09-06-2006, 02:27 PM

Well it looks like that could be the place to park then. I've got a red lot pass also, so we need a way to all park close together.
I'm meeting up with some people in College Park at 2:30 and then leaving from there (that's the plan at least), so I should be to the lot rather early.

TheMalcolmConnection · 09-06-2006, 02:31 PM

Excellent. Make sure you all get together to save me a spot. A flat place where the pong table can sit without tilting.

Print this out when you come. It's directions to our cars.

Im in a white jeep grand cherokee, VA plates, SKINZ1. I.M. if you want my phone number to call or text.

Warpath, I'll probably get there before TMC. I'm not sure what car I'll be in, and in fact, some of my buddies might be parking/setting up our stuff in red while I walk over from blue, but i'll let you know closer to the game.

When do you guys think 95 North will calm down after the game ? Im gonna be just south few exits past the stadium and will want to get back to my own bed. Its been a while Id assume maybe after an hour or two the roads will have died down right???

TheMalcolmConnection · 09-07-2006, 09:51 AM

Not really honestly. I stay until the players leave to try and get autographs and the road is still nuts even afterwards.

BDBohnzie · 09-07-2006, 10:06 AM

i'd plan on at least an hour or more after the game before trying to leave...

ArtMonkDrillz · 09-07-2006, 11:23 AM

Personally, I'd just leave right after the game and deal with whatever traffic you hit. You're not going to get home any sooner by waiting (maybe faster, but not sooner). Plus, if it's a close game and you leave right after it ends, you might even beat the traffic.

TheMalcolmConnection · 09-07-2006, 11:47 AM

Yeah, it's a wash. But I'm one of those guys who would rather drive in circles, rather than sit at a stop sign.

Don't know if I'll make any games this year. My brother in law has season tickets and talking to him last night I found out that he sold the whole season for ticket value. I wish I knew he was going to sell them I would have purchased them.

Warpath · 09-07-2006, 04:47 PM

After the game, we usually re-light the grill and eat again. Id rather be able to use the facilites in the parking lot than be stuck on 495 having to go badly. We usually wait at least an hour before hitting the road.

The great thing about taking Metro is you don't have to deal with traffic.

The bad thing about taking the metro is that you have to stand in line both ways to both get on and off the metro and on and off to take the shuttle bus. Its alot of fun to be herded into the metro. I'll take the traffic anyday over that. Plus if your from the area your used to the traffice anyway.
