2008 - WEEK 11 Denver @ Atlanta (11/16)

[PaintballCLE]

go broncos

[27atwater]

This one is a possibility. Since Carolina is now a no go, Atlanta MAY be an option...as is a Denver home game.

[Tankgunner95]

I was at the Indy game hopefully can go to the ATL not to far to driver from the great state of KY.

[27atwater]

Kev...flights from Pittsburgh to Atlanta are $238 round trip and $329 if ya combo in 2 nights hotel. If the wife isn't interested, would ya make the flight down w/ me?

[Sassy]

Guys....is the area relatively safe by the Georgia Dome?

[Hogan11]

This may end up like the Houston game.....Miles you going to this one?

[Dendave]

Guys....is the area relatively safe by the Georgia Dome?

Depends if Ray Lewis and his posse are in town ROFL!

Actually, my brother in law is an Atlanta police officer, I can find out for ya...not sure if I am going to make this one or not I was going to do this and Cleveland but they fall on back to back weekends and not sure if i can take work off two weeks in a row...Cleveland is closer for me so I think I am doing that one...anyway, I will let you know about the area...

[27atwater]

[PaintballCLE]

driving from clev to atl??? yer slightly insane.

haha i was going to drive to oakland and SD, but common sense got the better of me there.........cant afford to fly to every game lol

only 10 hours or so........ thats not horrible if you have all day to do it.

[Dendave]

Guys....is the area relatively safe by the Georgia Dome?

From my brother in law...hope this helps

As a rule anything west of Northside Drive is not safe. The closest hotels will all be downtown Atlanta. They are too numerous to list. Downtown and Midtown are not the same, so if the hotel advertises itself as Midtown it will be further away from the stadium. Remember that you can stay anywhere near the Marta Train system and just ride the train right to the dome if you want. The Trains are safe, I would avoid the buses.

One of the guys on my unit is a season ticket holder and they tailgate. I
will find out from him how that works. I know it is ridiculously expensive
to park near the dome so bear that in mind.

[Tankgunner95]

Wondering what hotel is a good one too stay at, I know ATL is AWFUL, just dont want to be on the bad side where me and the wifey can not go and eat on Friday and Saturday night. ANY GOOD IDEAS???

yeah avoid the west side all together........stay near the airport nice places to eat.....safe area. THe sherraton near the airport is fairly nice for the price.

How far away is the airport from the Georgia Dome?

[PaintballCLE]

How far away is the airport from the Georgia Dome?

about 10 miles.

15 min drive or there is also a train/subway thing thats goes between the two.

[Tankgunner95]

How far is the aquirum and things to do there? Wifey likes to go sight seeing and I hear ATL has plenty to do? Looked on stub hub got some good deals in the endzone right now. I think this is a deff. for wifey and I. How is with us. I would love to see a bunch of us there.

[Hawaii_Guy]

This may end up like the Houston game.....Miles you going to this one?

I have put some thought into it for the past 2 years. We will see as time gets closer.

[Bronco Billy]

This may end up like the Houston game.....Miles you going to this one?

Are you serious?

I guess he could have another commitment that takes precedence over the Broncos. thwack

I really like you Hogan, but seriously! That's like asking a cop if they want another donut. :twokisses

[Hogan11]

I really like you Hogan, but seriously! That's like asking a cop if they want another donut. :twokisses

:ouwknow: Just making sure....ATL is not the greatest of destinations afterall and if the G Dome is already a notch in his belt, I can easily understand bypassing going to such a place again.

but yeah, I'll admit it was a pretty stupid question....we were pretty messed up by that schedule and not thinking too clearly at the time, my apologies. :approve:

[Bronco Billy]

No worries... just giving you a hard time. I don't think it matters if he's been there or not.

Miles is trying to get me to this game since we only play in Atlanta every eight years. I simply replied, it's a dome! We'll see, but I'd much rather try and make Carolina than Atlanta. It would be nice to see Elam one last time, hopefully on the sidelines.

The schedule screwed us big time. NE, Carolina, and Cleveland were our top three for this year, but NE and Cleveland are probably no goes since they're not on Sunday. Carolina could be a stretch. We'll see. This is now the first year where I have no idea which games we'll make.

[PaintballCLE]

WHAT? the streak is in jeopardy???????????

TAILGATING
It's "pretty difficult to tailgate at a stadium without a large parking lot close by." "Most folks tailgate in vacant lots up to a quarter mile from the stadium," so "if you want to pull out a few chairs, drinks and eat out of a picnic basket, that's pretty easy. If you want to grill and really spread out, that's not easy at all." "An abandoned rail station across from the stadium known as 'the Gulch' is the place to be. "But many find the location" under a highway overpass "not very inviting." The alternatives are "spread out over many parking lots," "are small and hard to get to." That doesn't stop some motivated souls from "deep-frying a turkey" or serving up "soul food mixed with ribs and barbecue."

NEIGHBORHOOD
The stadium is at "the far south end of downtown" "just outside of the Atlanta business district." "It isn't exactly the high-rent area. If one stays with the crowd, however, safety should not be a concern." "It looks pretty rough and is generally a low-income neighborhood." However, the area is in the middle of a "slow" "gentrification effort," "with new condos and restaurants." "Down the road" are "lots of attractions other than football -- CNN Center, Phillips Arena, the aquarium, Centennial Olympic Park, World of Coca-Cola, etc."

[PaintballCLE]

The holiday inn select is 69/night for the downtown location (conference center)on hotwire.com (Its the 3 star downtown hotel for 69) its connected to turner field downtown and has a free shuttle to the georgia dome according to the website.

[PaintballCLE]

just fyi since ill be driving to this one, ill have my grill. If someone else wants to bring one too thats cool......never hurts to have a backup!

[PaintballCLE]

any news as to when tix go on sale for this one.......or if we wanna get these? 45/ticket isn't bad at all to have a group of 10 broncos fans together.

[Bronco Billy]

I looked but couldn't find anything. The said they would go on sale in late July, but didn't announce a date. Only group tix on sale now.

[Brien]

I bought my tickets on stubhub 15 yrd line right behind the Broncos bench. They are due to be shipped the first of August.

[PaintballCLE]

got our tickets to this one.......upper deck, 15 yard line for $29 a ticket on ticketluck.com

There are 3 more left if anyone is looking for tickets for this one.

[cvan87]

We have 6 of us going to this game. I found a bunch of upper corner tickets on stubhub for $28. Anyone else interested in getting any of these tickets so we can have a group of us Broncos fans all together? Also does anyone have any plans for tailgating because we would love to be a part of it. Thanks!!

[broncosbabe22]

Anyone got 2 extra tickets to the denver/atlanta game?

[GreatBronco16]

Other than ticket prices, I see no reason why me and my son won't be at this game. I live a tad over an hour from Atlanta and this will be my first Bronco game.

I want some good seats behind the good guys, anyone know of some good places to get tickets better than the 400 bucks a piece I've found?

[BroncoFanMA]

Hey guys.

I have 4 tickets (Sec 106, Row 13, 1-4) to this game if anyone is interested. Would really like to swap for tickets to a game in the Northeast (NE Jets Buffalo). But will do what is needed so they are not wasted.

Was going to fly to this one but buddy is backing out for money reasons.

BroncoFanMA is that you in Buffalo last year? I think we stayed at the same hotel...what a party Saturday night was.

[BroncoFanMA]

Twas I :)

Good to see you Dave.

[cvan87]

We are looking for fellow Broncos fans to meet up with before the game.

[UboBronco]

My wife and I will be there this weekend, we are flying in from Wisconsin, staying in buckhead.... Where is the party??????

[Toddlaw89]

We need to start to get this tailgaiting started...I'm not too familiar with the area. I arrive on Saturday...

[Toddlaw89]

I would think we'd like to get in the Orange or Blue lot???

http://www.atlantafalcons.com/Venues/The_Dome/Directions.aspx

well from what I have been told is the Blue lot is way better than the orange one......its bigger and much easier to get in/out of. However they also have a state farm lot (if you have state farm insurance you get to park for 10 bucks) So its possible i might just park there.

I am staying in the Holiday inn select (capitol) by turner field. where is everyone else staying????

[UboBronco]

My wife and I are staying in Buckhead, we will have to take the Marta in for the game, or drive, we have not decided yet.. We like to tailgate early.. So post on here where it will be, and we will find you...

if anyone wants to PM me I can give you my phone number and you can call me and figure out where the tailgate will be. Most of you already have the number, but there are some people I haven't met yet that dont.

I am going to try to get into the Blue lot......Ill have a grill, a few chairs, a cooler, ect......

It would a big help if someone else bought a cooler too.......

Also I have no problem providing hotdogs/burgers and the fixins for the game........If i know how many people roughly will be there.

We USUALLY keep it BYOB and since I haven't heard otherwise I am assuming its the same here.

As of now I am working till 8pm friday......when i get off owrk driving to Lexington KY.....that should get me there around 1 am....sleeping in as long as the hotel will let me.......then driving the rest of the way to ATL. So hopefully if everything goes according to plan I should be in ATL by 5pm sat. I am going to try to get to the blue lot early to get a space......but if anyone else is driving to this game it would be cool if we drove to the lot together so that we can have a few spaces next to eachother.

[UboBronco]

My wife found this website, not sure it helps....

http://www.johnnyroadtrip.com/cities/atlanta/tailgating.htm

Anyone can pm me also, so we hook up. We are leaving early Thursday morning, so will be in Atlanta already, have to get in a few rounds of golf when I am down there.

[Toddlaw89]

Have we decided on the Orange or Blue lot??? I'm driving in on Saturday eve, going out somewhere the night, then I'll be ready to go about 9:00ish. I've got some other friends coming in too, so we should have a good showing and great tailgate.

no nothing is set in stone.......but i vote for the blue lot.......i heard its much easier to get in/out of. Where are you staying?

[Toddlaw89]

I'm driving up on Saturday. I have 2 options to stay...One friend lives close to the stadium (But he's not going to the game) and my best friend, that is going to the game with me, lives an hour farther north (In the 'burbs), but nice area, just not a lot going on. Either way, we'll be ready to tailgate around 9.

[Toddlaw89]

I'm shoving off now...I'll try and check back later this evening, but with limited Email. It either the Orange or Blue lot...If you'd like, you can contact me at 321-695-6678...I'll be in the lots around 9ish

[e-mac]

this is the first game I've gone to excited as all get out going with my best friend, we are taking the Marta to the stadium, glad to hear bronco nation in the Dirty.

[i4jelway7]

anybody looking for 2 LL 50yd line field level seats behind the bench take a look at these... http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:VRI&item=180306848930 $350 but I'd pay it.. if I was going
