[CBF1]

Just got tickets from a season ticket holder. Field section 6, row 1. thats right behind the Bronco bench on about the 50 yard line. Looks like it is time to start planning a tailgater for the up comming season, Just hope it is Sept/Oct to miss the seasonal rains :) :alky:

Sweet! This may be a record for the earliest planned tailgate thus far....lmao

You can count me in for the SD tailgate again. That was a blast out there this year. Good thing you'll be behind the Broncos bench CBF1. You can use those loud pipes of yours to yell "Jake run the freakin ball!"

[CBF1]

So I guess we are now officially kicking off the 2005 tailgating season :)

Bet we end up with more Broncos fans at this years bash at Mile High west! :woowoo:

[TailgateNut]

Damn, you guys kill me. I thuoght I was supposed to be the "nut". I'm actually thinking of returning one of my sets to Pat "I'm a greedy SOB" this season. Half of the payment is due the end of this month and one of my friends isn't buying their set this year, and I "ate" way to many tickets last year!

What section are those seats in Nut? Same place as yours?

[CBF1]

If you give back tickets before giving my wife a shot at them...I would hide come next season, She will kick your ass...after she kicks mine. :moody:

[SoCalBronco]

i will definitely be at this game next year, i cant wait to meet all of you.

[Hogan11]

Thought you were gonna come to the game in Denver with the EGIBGB's, Pez & I this year...you still up for that?

[SoCalBronco]

Thought you were gonna come to the game in Denver with the EGIBGB's, Pez & I this year...you still up for that?

i may do that as well hogan. I am considering going to a september game in Denver.

Hey, if that game in SD is late in the year, I might show up out there as well.....hard to tell at this point for sure, but you never know.

[Sassy]

Count me in for "possibly" San Diego...somewhere warm sounds good to me! Especially, if the weather in ND has turned to snow...

...and now I've found out...Live Bronco games are a weakness ;D

[Meck77]

I know it was a big game last year for Sd...let me rephrase that. That game last year was one of the biggest SD has had in years. That was one crazy tailgate scene. Those bandwagoners showed up in full force. The Broncos fans were definetly well represented but there was a freakin sea of tailgaters in general. It was awesome. Game could have been awesome. Oh so close and oh soo painful.

So do we! rofl! Ha!
But we're looking forward to at least one game in Denver in September if not another game after that. :)

Besides...we are now "fully addicted" to LIVE games and OF1 and it's crew ;D

[BlueDamsel]

It's official as of today! :)
Let's get to planning!

[Sassy]

New Year's Eve in San Diego...Let's go!

[minibronco]

It's on Sat ;)

[CBF1]

Woooooooohoooooooooooooo Broncos and New Years eve! Does it get any better than this? Looks like a long tailgater after the game :)

Meck, I will contact the stadium about getting our spot for the game.

[Sassy]

Any hotel recommendations? Near the stadium or near stuff within walking distance?

[CBF1]

Sorry Sassy.... We live like 2 hours away and drive down early the morning of the game. The tailgate/parking lot opens at 6:00am, We will be there early again this season..... 6:00am to set up and get started :)

[Hogan11]

Looks as if I'm gonna be at this one as well......

[Hogan11]

Where did the OF1 crew stay last year?

[Meck77]

Where did the OF1 crew stay last year?

We stayed at the this place. Madak (fellow Orangemaner) recommended it to me last minute last year. Decent place only 1.8 miles to the stadium. They are basic rooms I guess. Right next to the highway so not the most peaceful place while your on your balcony but it was very reasonable and the place was full of Broncos fans. Infact the place was crawling with them. The hotel was nice enough to give us a private spot on the side of the hotel to gather at in the lot around the bus. Only problem was when the late night manager came out and there were more than a dozen people hanging out on the bus, the tailgate tents set-up, stereo going, BBQ blazing, he got a little pissed and said we had to wrap it up. :)

I can tell you that it's alot of fun to hang out at the Broncos hotels before the game. We did that in KC and Indy. They usually stay at the high end places but we could always shack up at some place like this one and roll over on the bus. It's a great opportunity to catch players when they are just walking around the hotel to get autographs.

[Hogan11]

Thanks Meck.....I'm a little concerned about availability with this game being over a holiday weekend and all.....I'll get it all ironed out I'm sure.

[Hogan11]

Just as I feared, the place is booked solid :(

[Meck77]

Just as I feared, the place is booked solid :(


Which place? The link I posted?

:kiddingme

*edit* I just called the Qualcomm in they have rooms for $72 bucks a night.

FYI someone was asking about tix for SD. Here ya go.

http://www.chargers.com/tickets/index.cfm

[Sassy]

The hotels are filling up fast! Lots of "unavailable for these dates on expedia"...

This is helpful info, though.
If you don't want to worry about getting in and out of the Stadium parking lot and want an opportunity to meet other fans, take advantage of the bus and trolley services that will bring you to the Stadium.

Bus
San Diego Transit provides express buses for Charger games, weekend Padre games, Holiday Bowl and other major special events. For Bus information, call "InfoExpress" (619) 685-4900 or (619) 234-5005 TTY (hearing impaired).

Trolley
The Stadium trolley station is located at Section J in the Stadium parking lot. The Blue Line Trolley operates every 15 minutes, except between Old Town and the Stadium, where trains run every three to five minutes starting three hours before game time. If you are planning on taking the trolley, we suggest you park in Old Town or the Hazard Center.
Post-game trolley departures are every 4 minutes (between the Stadium and Old Town) and every 15 minutes on the rest of the system. Round trip tickets range from $1.50 to $4.50.

Kids ride free on weekends! On Saturday and Sundays, the trolley is free for two children (12 and younger) when accompanied by one fare-paying passenger.

[Sassy]

The Hilton San Diego in Mission Valley isn't bad...$109 +tax
for those dates....It's two miles from the stadium....and it sounds like there's quite a bit within walking distance.

[NW Bolt Fan]

Hopefully you have some cool plans lined up for New Year's Eve, because the hours between 1:30pm and 5:00pm or so, won't be so much fun. But the rest of the trip ought to be great.

Broncomaniacs always show up in full force in San Diego. There will be a "Sea of Orange" in many sections of Jack Murphy Stadium.

In fact, the Broncos can claim Jack Murphy as theirs! The Broncos won a Vince Lombardi Trophy on that field. It must suck being a Dolt fan knowing that your division rival won a championship on your home turf. Since there will never be another Super Bowl at Jack Murphy, the Broncos will always own a bigger W on that field that the Dolts will never be able to match.

HERE I AM!

I ended up buying season tickets to keep my plaza level group of 50 in the same seats. CRAZY, HUH? So, as I spend $30K for seats just to get the Broncos' game, I can purchase extras of the New Year's Eve Game. They will be around $60 for Upper View East End Zone, $80 for View East/West Endzone Row 5-18 and $90 for View Sidelines Row 5 -18. This will include some food and beer. This makes the people get there ASAP to tailgate. As you might remember, I had a group of 50 Broncos' fans for the last 12 years. Probably get parking passes later like last year so we are all together in the same area. Wrist bands will be given to all who purchase to make sure they get their beer/soda and grub away from the freeloaders. This is based on first come first serve from other season tix holders so hurry and find out if you or others need them ASAP. San Diego will be selling out all their games this year and Broncos' tixs will probably be going for over $100 this year especially if there is playoff implications. Interested parties, please email me at quickadflyer@earthlink.net

[broncocalijohn]

Just talked to the Chargers and they said the parking price might go up to $17 from $10! Unbelievable rip off! I know we pay more sometimes around Denver but this lot is sooooo huge it is absolutley a crime what they are pulling. We need to arrange Carpool, bus, etc. For this. If you are not using your car for tailgatting, trolley or other transportation would be best. Fight them at their own game. If we do this early enough, we can make this successful every year. Meck, hope it doesnt rain again like last year. We had our 2nd wettest year in LA/OC. I can't imagine it happening two years in a row!
BTW: Staying in Orange County ( about 1 to 1 1/4 hour away) can be an option. Train goes right to trolleys to stadium. If out of towners stay all at one spot, pre new year's eve party would be nice.

[OrangeForceOne]

Hey John good to see you back on the Mane! Yeah that rain was rediculous sounds like we'll be seeing you again!

[Bronco Yoda]

I need good tickets. I'd prefer to sit with the group this year if ya got an extra ticket or two.

[broncocalijohn]

Posted about having 50 tickets in plaza and can purchase more in view level and BroncoYoda puts that he needs tixs. HELLO? Do you think I put that on the thread for nothing? Come on stop talking about it and get some. Sassy already has. THis includes stuffing your pie hole. $90 gets some food and beer/soda and ticket to (hopefully) view level Rows 5 -18 on sidelines. Lets go! Get the lead out and move it!

[Bronco Yoda]

Did you really need to play it like this broncocalijohn?

If YOU can read I said I'd prefer sitting with some orangemaners at the game this year. That may or may not fit in with your seating.

I go every year to the game... I live in orange county so don't play me like I'm all talk and no action. tone down on the used car sales pitch.

I realize you're spamming the boards for your ticket business and can appreciate the deal; I do. But you're not going to get my business by talking down to me. Do you really expect me to refer you to my friends with this kind of attitude?

I'll pay someone else double the price for the privilage of not being talked down to like a fool.

btw, you're not the #1 bronco fan in SoCal.... I am :)

[Bronco Yoda]

That's an awesome section CBF.... but I must warn you ( I know you probably already know this) that the seats there are REALLY LOW to the field in the first few rows there and it can be hard to see some of the field over the bench. I learned my lesson one year.

[broncocalijohn]

Please put on the glasses and reread my post. I have 50 I also can buy more as a season ticket holder to the Chargers. I listed all areas that OrangeManers can buy (if I run out of my 50 tickets). So, instead of asking me if maners were sitting together (if they all get them from here and are broncos' fans then I would say YES). So, if you really think my words hurt your delicate feelings, then go buy soemwhere else, maybe not sit with other Broncos fans and pay double. You arent doing me a favor, I am doing Broncos' fans a favor and I love to do it. That's why i bought so many season tixs, so I can be with other Broncos' fans! So take my post for what it's worth. If your ego is dmaged, I hope it is worth paying $90 or more (and not have as good as seats as mine). This isnt a "business". I can sell these for way more and make a ton more money. I do it so we all can not only party together, but to sit together. I am supplying all Maners if needing tickets, so where would you sit then? If you can suck your damaged pride, I will still sell you what you need, because what matters is that we all party together!
BTW: Dont think you are number one fan in OC or So Cal. I am. Where are your season seats in Denver? Did you really need to play it like this broncocalijohn?

[TheManeMan]

broncocalijohn...Thanks for the PM you've sent...I want to buy tickets but, not anytime soon...Maybe once the football season begins, so if there is anyway to hang on to 2 or 3 tickets, It would be greatly appreciated...

[broncocalijohn]

i cannot guarantee any tickets then because if I use up the 50 i have, i need to order more through group tickets ASAP. SInce i am a new Charger season ticket holder (as a Broncos' fan), I can order before the general public. Don't wait until the season starts. You might have to pair up with Yoda and pay a boat load of dough.

I have sat in those seats before, I know what you mean but it is close enough to talk to the players. BUT I will be looking for 2 tickets for myself due to the recent split from the wife (she wants to keep them for herself :) ) I like the same section but would prefer seats about 15- 20 rows higher.

I will be making the game for sure and will be looking for tickets soon and would not miss the tailgater for the world.

[Bronco Yoda]

Sorry to hear about that CBF. I'm looking for roughly the same thing. close enough to walk down and see the players but high enough to see over the bench.

[CBF1]

How many tickets are you looking for? I will need 1 for sure and will take 2 if another is available. Let me know how many you are looking for and we might be able to keep an eye out for each other.

Just sent my money order for the tickets a second time...stupid bank put an I instead of a 1. I might have a hookup for an onfield trip the night of the bowl game. Just have to put my officer rank on my uniform and dress up for the game. But the GF and I are coming to party. I got one plane ticket for taking a bump on my way home from phase 3 and the other one I should be able to get with milage. Just need to get a hotel room.

I talked to the parking lot people on Friday and we will have the same spots we had last year. The bus will be in lot N next to the wall with an additional 20-30 feet on the other side of the wall for tents and overflow room. I will post a map when I get things finalized.

[broncocalijohn]

you have that phone number? I have to reserve some spots also. This is going to be one hell of a party. Let us hope better weather. Remember $17 to park a car

Hell yeah! Im going to be there since calijohn hooked me up and i think he still has some left. Anyway its going to be a Kickass pre-game party and post-game party. One thing im worried about is the traffic since im coming from Thousand Oaks, CA near CBF1. Probably should get a room for two nights right? Wheres everyone staying?

Just me, I am meeting up with some friends in SD. Never been out there so I figured it would be a good time to go and see them and catch a Bronco game. I would imagine that everyone will be in pretty good shape after the game, it will make for an entertaining New Years Eve. Look forward to seeing you guys again.

I live in Cali, please let me know if any of you are coming to the San Diego Denver game on Dec 31

[broncofan2438]

2438 I bumped the cali tailgating thread for you and merged your post. Hope you don't mind but this is the thread to discuss tailgating in SD.

Thanks for joining the forum!

I may be going to the Holiday Bowl, assuming CU continues playing well and finishes 9-2/3. They would be a lock for that game then.

I just booked my airfare. From the 27th through the 3rd of Jan. I can't wait.

Keep your fingers crossed... hopefully I will be there to buy everyone some brewskies! If the kid brother and his wife end up having their baby early (like X-mas week) I'm game. Plus, if there is any HOPE that the Buffs end up in San Diego at near the same time for the Holiday bowl, you know I'll be there.

I need 6-8 tickets, and yes I have emailed broncocalijohn. I have not heard back yet, I am just trying to cover my bases here.

[missingnumber7]

I'm getting so pumped for this trip.

[Sassy]

Ok...ND is iced over and is expecting a lot of snow...Is it time to go to San Diego yet? ;D
(Strange weather...it was pouring rain yesterday...then froze...now snow...I'd hate to have to work on the roads or powerlines today...)

Mmmm...my post is sounding a little "Mockish" ;D I must be bored! Ha!

[Master___Pain]

So does anyone have a way other than email of getting ahold of broncocalijohn? I have had no reply to my email attempts. I am still looking for 6-8 tickets, they don't need to be all together, but it's prefered.

[Meck77]

I'm pretty sure he is out of tickets per our last conversation about 2 weeks ago.

On a side note. With this many of us being intown I was wondering if we should plan on meeting somewhere for a New Years Eve party if people want a place to meet up after the game?

*edit* There is a Broncos bar somewhere in SD. Forget the name of it. Just an idea?

[broncofan2438]

Yes, its called chiefs burgers, no its not a chiefs bar. We should also try and find a place to meet the night before.Do you know any other place to find tickets

Ugh...I am becoming very leary of getting tickets for this game. Not good. I need the Chargers to go into the tank so the game has no importance to them. Probably wishful thinking.

If anyone hears of any tickets at a reasonable price, please let me know.

[R8R H8R]

Anybody know a bar, restaurant, or hotel that shuttles people to and from the game? The trolley is nice going in, but getting out is about an hour and a half ordeal.

Any help would be appreciated.

:drown:

[Meck77]

What I can suggest H8r is that you are welcome to kick in the parking lot with us after the game and let the crowd die down. I need to talk to the Tucson bus crew to see what they want to to but hopping the rail downtown seems like a fun option but I've heard that might be a pain the arse all evening long with it being NewYears. I just don't know.

That's great advice...I plan on taking you up on that offer Meck.

Downtown SD is a going to be expensive as all hell on New Years. We are going up to Solana Beach to catch a reggae show that night. Much more casual up in North County than Downtown too.

[ak1971]

Master..I dont have tickets either, but we are going anyway. Ill be staying north county (Fairbanks Ranch) So might have to pound a few that night after the game.

[RIBEYZE]

I can't wait for this game. The last two years have been a blast, even in the rain. Looking forward to meeting a bunch of 'Freaks and Maners and Kicking some SD Butt.

Thanks Meck. Yea, I'm expecting the rail to be crazy that night. If I decide to chill out for awhile with your group, how will I find you?

:blowhorn:

[Meck77]

Well have the lot location on this thread. Last year we were in the bus lot directly south of the stadium. We'll probably be there again. After the KC game we will nail that down. I need to talk to CBF1 and BroncoCaliJohn first.

[broncofan2438]

Good to hear that we are finally talking it up again on this thread. Yes Gaslamp District is going to be the hot spot indefinately. It would be better if a lot of us met the night before maybe at hooters or that other broncos sports bar. It will be a crazy weekend

[broncofan2438]

Now that that horrible game in KC is over, lets try to think a little more positive, at the San Diego game. Any plans set?

[Meck77]

In the two years since OF1 has been on the road we have made it to 24 games thus far. I can't believe it has been that many. The road trips included New Orleans, San Diego, Kc, New York, Dallas, and KC again. We missed 1 home game during that time with the bus simply because we needed a break. Bascially our record for making it to Broncos games we planned on going to is 23 out of 24. Not bad considering all the things that can go wrong with a 1987 Greyhound bus and the logistics of planning tailgates across the country. In addition to those games we also flew out to a few more away games. That is basically 1 full year of travelling if you take out the offseason.

Unfortunately Disco Man and Myself will not be taking the bus to San Diego. We simply need some time off to spend some time with our families as that roadtrip would have easily taken a week or more. The tailgate is still in effect as I will coordinate the efforts with CBF1 and BroncoCaliJohn. Only difference is the bus won't be there. We'll be flying out a day or two before the game.

I feel fortunate that with over 20,000 mile driven since we've had the bus that it hasn't been damaged and we haven't had any major repair work to do. We've definetly had our fare share of adversity and several close calls with semis rubbing our mirros and breaking them at over 60 mph on narrow roads. That was scarry and could have been disasterous. We also managed to avoid a car that flipped over infront of us on our first drive out of town to remodel the bus. Some of you may remember that story. With that being said OF1 has completed her 2nd year of road trips.

We will still be at the Ravens and Raider game (with of1) and flying to the SD tailgate.

If any of the bus crew who helped build this bus see this thread I want to apologize to you guys as I know you were looking forward to this trip and seeing your work in action. I'll make it up to you guys with another trip in the early spring. I'll take you anywhere you guys want to go.

In the end though it's the people that make a tailgate special and not a bus. I think the bus has given a physical address for people to meet up with one another but many of you travelling to this game have already come by and know one another. To those of you who haven't been to a tailgate I hope you can come by next year in Denver. The bus will be at all the homes games for sure and we'll pick a couple road games when the schedule shakes out.

See you in SD.

[broncofan2438]

I truely am bumed out meck, i told soo many people about your bus and i haven't even seen it myself. Man, this sucks. Well, hopefully the tailgating will still be as crazy as i anticipated it would, will we still be in lot C or whatever or is it gonna be somewhere else. I would suggest we try to gather as many fans as possible and make the best of it.

[Meck77]

2438 sorry dude. Trust me when I called Tucson to tell those guys I was told I screwed up the plans of 25 people. I'm not sure how I did that by not taking the bus but that is beside the point.

Honestly we just need to hop on a flight like the rest of you guys do and enjoy a tailgate without the 40 hours of driving and work involved with doing a tailgate. Not to mention I can fly there for less than $300 bucks and the expense of driving OF1 to SD and back is about $1,250 just in gas. Not to mention the 4-5 days I lose working while driving. I'm not sure why I'm justifying myself again but I need time with my family. That is the main reason.

I was real close to scraping the NY tailgate when diesel was over $3.49 gallon but we still did the trip since we had never taken the bus to the East Coast and there were simply too many events plan to back out.

Anyway the SD tailgate and game will be great even if a big hunk of metal isn't sitting in the parking lot.

Ya geez, cut Meck, Disco and crew some freaking slack here. This guy busts his butt regularly to host rocking tailgates for the OM faithful and bronco fans all around. I'm suprised Meck did not decide this sooner actually. They've been all over the damn country this fall and the need to spend some QT with their families, seems like a reasonable thing to do around the holidays to me.

There should more more thank yous to the OF1 crew than anything around here. The tailgate will still rock people!! It going to be a fantastic time.

[broncofan2438]

First of all master pain, get off his jock, second calm down, i wasn't rying to start an argument, i totally understand he needs to spend time with his family. Yes the tailgate should still be fun. wasn't directing it badly there, meck

[Blueflame]

Can't say I blame you a bit, Meck... with the back to back road trips (to Dallas and then KC), I was wondering how you guys do it... it has to be exhausting, as well as a significant expense. Many props for all that you guys do... you truly do go above and beyond for each and every tailgate. I'm sure there's gonna be a rocking party in SD even if the bus isn't in town. Hoist a couple of brewskis for us. :D

[Hogan11]

Honestly we just need to hop on a flight like the rest of you guys do and enjoy a tailgate without the 40 hours of driving and work involved with doing a tailgate.

I have absolutely no problem with this at all.....you've more than earned it.

I'm looking forward to seeing you guys at BCJ's tailgate.....I can't imagine it being any different than an OF1 affair at all, even if the bus isn't there.

I'll see you guys in a couple weeks and the OF1 next fall :Broncos:

[Meck77]

Ok guys here is the deal. I just exchanged emails with BroncoCaliJohn. Anyone that bought tix from him is covered at his tailgate but I know there are alot of people going that didn't get tix from him. I'm going to be in contact with him to see where his group is set up. He has 50 people to take care of already so it looks like we'll have to arrange our own stuff which is understandable. John has been more than gracious to sell tix to Broncos fan at face value when he could have easily made a small fortune.

CBF1 you out there man? Really all we need is a couple coolers and a BBQ and a table. I'll be flying out a couple days before the game so I'll have time to gather up some brew/grub etc.

Who else is driving to the game that might be able to help with some of these basic needs? I'd be nice to group as many Broncos fans in one area as possible.

[Master___Pain]

Meck, I'll do whatever I can to help out there. My buddy and my sister both live in SD so getting some of the stuff you might need should not be a problem. At least the coolers and a table should not be too tough.

[broncofan2438]

Sounds good meck, i will have about 10 of us and can grab some beer, coolers, food and whatever else, just let me know

We will be driving down from phoenix Friday night, and I'm sure we will be hitting up the liqour store when we get there. I'm thinking that we can get a bunch of premade stuff from a safeway... whatcha think?

[Meck77]

That sounds good BFDD! All we have to do is nail down the parking lot location and we should be good to go.

I'm still considering making a run to this game... biggest challenge is the damn 24 hour drive time.

we are finishing up our travel plans for this one, but keep your eyes open for the last minute cheap flights on Frontier and United. Frontier usually has a $170 last minute one.

[broncofan2438]

I say we go to lot C or B

[Meck77]

I'm still considering making a run to this game... biggest challenge is the damn 24 hour drive time.

Well you mean 48 hour drive time round trip. I drove back myself after I dropped the crew off in Tucson. It took me several days to make it home. The bus really had alot of loose ends then so everytime I need to change the volume on the stereo or change a CD I had to stop the bus....lmao

The one bright spot was pulling into a casino in New Mexico. I just needed a break. I ended up playing roulette for like 5 hours and winning enough money to fill the tank up. It's a big tank!;D

I think I mentioned this. Mile High Jester is taking his rig down. I'm going to talk to him Sunday about centralizing the tailgate around his ride and next to BroncoCali's tailgate.

Jester's group is always down for a big tailgate.:thumbs:

[missingnumber7]

Meck...i'm gonna go on a Karma thing here, but when you drove the NYC we lost, when you drove to KC we lost, yea we won at dallas, but it ain't worth the risk and you diserve to watch a game knowing you don't have to worry about the bus and all that goes with it. Just be there and raise hell.

[Archie]

Well you mean 48 hour drive time round trip. I drove back myself after I dropped the crew off in Tucson. It took me several days to make it home. The bus really had alot of loose ends then so everytime I need to change the volume on the stereo or change a CD I had to stop the bus....lmao

The one bright spot was pulling into a casino in New Mexico. I just needed a break. I ended up playing roulette for like 5 hours and winning enough money to fill the tank up. It's a big tank!;D

I think I mentioned this. Mile High Jester is taking his rig down. I'm going to talk to him Sunday about centralizing the tailgate around his ride and next to BroncoCali's tailgate.

Jester's group is always down for a big tailgate.:thumbs:

YEah - I do mean 48 hours round trip. Ouch! A flight out and back seems much more sane :).

[ak1971]

see you all in SD for New Years. One of these days we will have OF1..the jet and this wont be so hard.

[Hogan11]

Jester is coming in for this? Very cool :thumbs:

[ak1971]

be good to see you again Hogan!

[Sassy]

be good to see you again Hogan!
Don't forget his better half Ha!

Don't forget his better half Ha!

Eh don't worry..........Dumpy is going Sassy. :~ohyah!:

Maybe this will give some people an idea what to do to ring in the new year and celebrate a great bronco season!

I have a call in to Meck and jester... Call me back guys :)

[broncocalijohn]

TAILGATE IS IN SECTION D5 NEAR MARQUEE OFF OF FRIARS ROAD ENTRANCE. Mailed my check for $80 for the spot and waiting to hear from ace parking about a keg permit. This saves a lot of money instead of cans/bottles. They do make better arsenal than plastic cups though (just kidding i dont want a war between tailgating fans as we are on THEIR turf!). Even though meck mentioned i will be swamped with the 50 bronco fan party, do not hesitate to come by and tailgate in the section d5. Only a few cars can park in the group parking so most are parking right next to it. Anyone can tailgat there also. I just have some beer/drinks and grub for the 50 that got tixs through me. By all means, lets make this 150 strong. JUST DONT TOUCH MY FOOD OR BEER! lol
If this is big and successful, I am sure Meck will have the bus for coming years again. I think SD should be the big destination for away games. Great weather, many broncos fans live in area, great place for out of towners to visit and charger fans actually likeable make this a great destination annually. If you have a motor home, bring it!

[missingnumber7]

I'm lookin for some cheap tickets to the Holiday bowl, #5 Ducks vs #21 sooners. on the 29th. If anyone has some info let me know.

Ticket master

[ak1971]

im still looking for 2 tickets to this game. help?

[Master___Pain]

im still looking for 2 tickets to this game. help?

At this point AK, I would say root for the Chiefs on Sat. This has been an rediculously overpriced ticket on places like ebay and the ticket sites (Stubhub, ticketfirm, etc) I think you should not have a problem getting them on game day. If SD loses and Pitt wins this weekend, there should be plenty of tickets around Qualcomm.

Go Steelers!!

[Meck77]

ok I just got this message from BroncoCaliJohn. Some of you know him from the local tailgate and some of you have a wrist ban for some grub and beer that bough tix from him. Being that he can't accomodate every Broncos fan around we'll set up another tailgate near his. This is his message.........

"I have section d 5 under the marquee. Anyone at Orangemane can set up in the same section, just it would be at the regular parking spot right across from my section. .Orangemaners can park 20 feet from me! Just tell them D5 near the marquee."


I'm not sure what the marquee is but we'll find out soon enough. I also spoke with CBF1 the other day and he's going to help out with the tailgate as well as the rest of you that want to help bring stuff. We already had some volunteers in this thread. I'm going to call the Chargers to see if I can prepay for spots or if it's a first come first serve basis.

So there you have it. D5 near the Marquee is where the party will be!!!!!!

[Master___Pain]

ok I just got this message from BroncoCaliJohn. Some of you know him from the local tailgate and some of you have a wrist ban for some grub and beer that bough tix from him. Being that he can't accomodate every Broncos fan around we'll set up another tailgate near his. This is his message.........

So, here's a map I found of the parking at Qualcomm. D5 looks to be in the NW corner of the parking area. Is this right broncocalijohn??

...and if we got our tickets and haven't gotten a wrist band yet?

[Meck77]

...and if we got our tickets and haven't gotten a wrist band yet?


That is definetly a BroncoCaliJohn question. I asked him to pop in the tailgate forum soon. I'm sure he will to answer questions like this. I know his tailgate is maxed out as he has something like 50 broncos fans already signed up with his group that includes some of you guys. This is the reason I thought it made sense to group all the tailgating up as some have wrist bands and most will not. Also it's always great to have more Broncos fans in one place to mingle with. The more the merrier!

I didn't get a chance to call the chargers today but it's on my list to do first thing tomorrow.

[missingnumber7]

Meck if you need help with tailgate stuff...even though i have a wristband, I'd be willing to help out withsomething.

[24champ]

...and if we got our tickets and haven't gotten a wrist band yet?
Yeah I havent gotten my wristband either BUT I assume we show him our tickets so he can verify it is us that purchased the tickets from him.....

[broncocalijohn]

The whole wristband thing is my scam. I am eating all the food and beer in my 1260 square foot, roped off section. I will throw hotdog weinies at all who try to hurdle the rope. I will roll open cans of beer down and watch the free for all. I will laugh at those trying to smell the bbq. I am the tailgate nazi and scream, "no meat for you!" Ok, not true. I will probably have wristbands as we meet that morning. I will try to leave around 8am from OC so I can arrive around 9 30 am. I will mark the back of the ticket as I hand the wristband out. Parking is in the corner where you pay to park from Friars road. You will see the marquee lit up. Meck, you cannot prepay for parking. I believe it opens around 6am. I found out keg permits for groups are only $25 but they need a liability insurance of $1 million so unless anyone wants to use their insurance from their business, it might cost around $400 for the one day---- not worth it. I will have my Simon Fletcher jersey on #73 so look out for that. I hope to get Pops to make some of his hot ass chili. It looks like chicken and hamburgers/weiners, chips, maybe corn also. If im getting beer by the can, I hope i can get 150 to 180 but that will cost about 55% to 60% of the total amount. Then again beer is very important! Hopefully costco has good prices on bulk meat and such. This is why it is still a good idea to bring some food just in case it runs out. Beer probably wont but food might. 6 beers per person sounds just right if started at the proper time of 10am. That is 2 per hour. I never calculated the charge for the spot but lesson learned for next year. Any questions u can post here or private message me.

[Meck77]

I have a call in to Meck and jester... Call me back guys :)

I'll hit you up today but can you pm me your number. I couldn't save it while at the Buffalo tailgate as I had to run back to the grill and it rotated out of the memory.

Looks like things are coming together! BroncoCali...I wasn't suggesting you couldn't handle extra people but I know what's it's like to have alot more tailgaters show up than what is expected. Worst thing in the world is to run out of beer. It's only happened to us a couple times in over 30 tailgates that last couple years....between bronco ball and crush ball.

With that being said if the lot opens at 6:00am than I know what time to arrive! I want to claim my spot at that time near the marquee. Not sure how I'm riding in yet but I will contact Jester ASAP and give him this info CaliJohn. I'm sure those guys are down with rolling in at 6:00am. I'm pretty sure that is about when we intended on getting in the lot last year but we ran a little late getting some stuff. I'm pretty sure we made it by 7:30.


Really this is all pretty simple now that we have a location. Jester is always up for a raging tailgate and if he parks next to BroncoCali then he'll have a grill, BBQ, coolers etc. Really all we need is probably a couple back up coolers. 2 standard Colemans will work or one big ass cooler, perhaps a back up BBQ, and maybe 1 more table. The rest of us can bring beer, food for the grill, and a little scratch to donate or any combination of the 3.

Oh a couple of EZ up tents are always nice. I only packed one for last year and I regretted that. It rained like hell on us for a couple days there. Odds are it won't rain but if it does it sure puts a damper on a tailgate. A couple of tarps and bunji cords are always usefull . I'll give jester a couple mind to haul down if he has room/tarps etc. If not it would be cool if someone could be a few of them for backup.

Then whoever is driving can just pull into D5 with their cars sporting Broncos colors and we are set! The rest can arrive on foot and Broncos Country has officially taken over D5!:thumbs:

SWEET - still trying to figure out if I can make the run... :)

[CBF1]

Meck, Just pm'd you my number, been out of town again but am back for the rest of the year. You know I will be there at 6:00am sharp with beer, 18 year old scotch and BRONCO BEADS! Call me and lets wrap this up..

CBF1

[broncocalijohn]

just thought of a possible problem.. With so many grilling and items exposed, who will watch the **** once we are watching the game inside? Anybody shut out of the game and just wants to party and possibly babysit the grills, chairs, etc.? Meck, who can we get that is a light weight and plaster him/her up where they pass out and set them up like a scarecrow on the D5 lot?

Doesnt the stadium have security patrolling the parking lots?

[CBF1]

I never had a problem leaving stuff in the old SUV during the game

[broncocalijohn]

i might have two single tickets in row 5 and one in row 7 plaza 54. I will know hopefully Friday but i will be out of town until the 29th. I can ebay them up for auction but a single tix here wouldnt be bad since we are among maners and bronco fans. PM for any info. Tickets would probably be $115 including a little food gub beer drinks. Someone wanted the two for $385 for the exclusive food and beer but if that falls apart, the two single tickets would be available.

[Bronco LB 59]

If any of you fellow Broncomaniacs get a chance, please check out this establishment at some point this weekend:

http://www.chiefsburgersandbrew.com/directions.html

It is a Broncos Bar that is decked out in orange and blue. The place even has 5 seats from old Mile High Stadium.

[Meck77]

I'm wondering if this isn't a good place to gather for new years? Is is far from the stadium?

[Master___Pain]

I'm wondering if this isn't a good place to gather for new years? Is is far from the stadium?

It's pretty far from the stadium. At least a 25-35 minute car ride. Getting cabs from North SD back to the Stadium area on New Years could be a bitch. What about catchin up there on the 30th?

[minibronco]

Woohoo! I'll be looking for you guys. My seat is Loge 25 Row 15 Seats 13,14

What is everybody doing for friday night

[Meck77]

Don't really have a plan. I'm staying downtown at the Marriot. Me and some other Broncos fans are heading to the zoo tomorrow (Myself, BroncosFanNz and some other guys from the Freaks. Friday evening I think we just plan on bouncing around downtown. Anybody else staying downtown? I'll be at the tailgate at the crack of dawn. Going to the game. No plan for after the game. I'm flying out Sunday @ 5:00pm. No plan for sunday either.

I don't remember where the Marriot is at, but I know there is a good microbrewery a block or two from the Wyndham. They make some good suds there if you're looking for a watering hole downtown.

[Meck77]

No plans...that sounds so unlike you Meck! LOL!

Yeah no kidding. Honestly I'm all planned out.....Just winging this one and looking forward to it. So much planning goes into a bus trip that this trip is actually a big relief. I'll be showing up to tailgate with beer, beef etc like the rest of ya!:militia: I'll be there early to help CBF1, 2438 and others who have BBQ, tents, etc to set up. Might even jump in on the grill and flip some stuff around a bit! I figure there will be plenty of NYE plans bouncing around the tailgate to choose from.

From what I'm reading we should be all set if everyone brings what they said they will! I doubt will have a white board like we were talking about in the other thread.lol

You'll just have to run around the tailgate yelling "Im Sassy! I'm sassy!";D

GO BRONCOS!

Costco run and ran out of money so i am back to pick up the rest of the coors, miller and bud light on friday. Section d5 name is under CLAYCOMB if any of the Plaza 54 ticket people want to set up their tables, chairs, etc. Just park as close to the group section as possible. Im thinking 100 to 150 total (our 50 plus 100 from orangemane and broncos' fans noticing a great party). MY only problem is getting my huge bbq in the truck so if it doesnt happen, i hope others have the grill. MEck, u want to help grill? Ill take that offer!

what time´s your flight, sassy?

[Sassy]

Well, my flight is actually at 2:48 pm but I'm on standby for the 1:30 and am going earlier than that to see if I can get on the 11 am out of Fargo...there are only two flights out of Minneapolis and since there is bad weather here, I want to be sure I can get there...long day in airports...but it will be worth it!

[Jens1893]

Hope it works out. All I need when I´m waiting at an airport is a bar :)

[Sassy]

Hope it works out. All I need when I´m waiting at an airport is a bar :)
Me too! I checked and there are a couple of seats available on the 11 so far...but they won't guarantee unless I rebook.

...and even our small airport has a bar!

[24champ]

Alright guys im headed down there in about 2-3 hours. Im starting to pack up, hope to see you guys down at the tailgate. Ill be sporting a white plummer jersey. Everyone else making the trip, hope you get there safely.

Happy New Years to the rest of the Mane!
