Yet another dumb question (yes im getting good at these)

[PaintballCLE]

Ok here is another dumb question........i guess it would be better if only people from the denver area answered this for me.

I am already going to 12 games this year... and stupid me is thinking about adding the other 4 games in denver. The only way i can do this is if i save on a hotel and rental car by flying in and out on the same day.

Now for the question.

The games start at 2pm denver time.........do you think its possible that after the game i make it all the way to the airport on time for a 7 pm return flight?

My thinking was roughly the game will be over by 5, but i didnt know how long it takes to get out of the traffic, to the airport, return the rental car, and go through security, check in, etc......... any ideas?

[watermock]

Impossible unless you James Bond.

[kmonty]

Sounds like you have a real burden there. I'd be happy to take a few tickets off your hands. :)

[Spider]

Mile high to DIA by 7 ? No even by Helicopter

[SouthStndJunkie]

Trying to rush to the airport like that would take all the fun out of everything....not to mention I don't think it can be done.

You would be boarding your flight at 6:30 or so if it took off at 7. The game would last until at least 5 or so....get out of traffic by 6:00 pm. Not enough time to get to DIA and check in, get through security, etc....

[PaintballCLE]

lol ok i guess thats a no then....

[24champ]

Crash at the airport overnight and leave the next morning.

[PaintballCLE]

ok part 2 then..........do they make you leave the parking lots by a certain time.........maybe i could jsut crash out in the car or just take my time getting to the airport and take a early flight out on monday

[Rock Chalk]

Dont listen to these guys. You can make it. Make sure you rent an SUV while you are wasting resources on your own selfish desires. 12 games is enough. Sit your ass home and watch the other four.

[Kaylore]

You'd have an outside shot if you left during the beginning of the third quarter and that's a huge if. Take a red eye. It's probably cheaper and you can take your time.

LOL woah where did that come from? But jsut for you ill make sure to leave it run all night while im crashed out in it.

yeah i was looking for the red eye.... apparently frontier doesnt offer one......and thats by far the cheapest to take........ill keep looking on others though.

[Rock Chalk]

Frontier is cheaper than Southwest? I got round trip tickets for me and the family (3 adults, one lap child = no ticket) for less than 650 on Southwest.

yeah from celveland it is.........southwest is 189 plus tax each way..........frontier is 109

[Rock Chalk]

Hmm, well I never heard of frontier until I got to Denver anyway so obviously that wasnt an option out of H-town.

No worries. only 3 more weeks and I will be living in the area anyway.

[TheChamp24]

Completely impossible unless you leave early. From Mile High, its about a 30 minute drive to the airport in no traffic, but counting the traffic and the dropping off the rental car, I don't see it happening.

[Blueflame]

... and what if the game goes into overtime? ??? You'd be hosed if that happened.

[vancejohnson82]

have Brandon Marshall drive you...

with the extra lane he uses, and his reckless abandon you should be there with enough time to grab something to eat before you board.

[maher_tyler]

... and what if the game goes into overtime? ??? You'd be hosed if that happened.

That's what i was thinking...just take a flight the next day

[Flex Gunmetal]

Or just move to Denver. Cleveland sucks.

[PaintballCLE]

It does......but at least we don't have the Rockies.....lol

[Dandaman]

I was thinking of doing something similar a coupe years ago. One thing you have to consider is the flex schedule. We had a 9pm flight back to LA but had to change our flight because the Seattle game got moved to the evening game. It was a pain. Had to pay a reschedule fee and had to add one more day to our hotel stay.

[Flex Gunmetal]

It does......but at least we don't have the Rockies.....lol

I hate you! :wave:

The one game I'll be able to make and I have to worry about making up two classes and missing a day of work.

Really, I hate you!

J/K..........but not really.

[Meck77]

Why bother going to a Broncos game when it becomes a business trip type schedule. At minimum the full experience should be two full days IMO.

I hate you too! What a c0klick. Jeez! I am going to 1 freaking game, and i feel fortunate.

You on the other hand...
"Hey, everybody! I am attending every damn game this year and will be sitting next to Elway in his private box seat while Emeril serves us his finest specialties all game long, and Playboy bunnies dance for us at our bidding and i was thinking...............

how can i get to the airport in time for my flight back home without having to deal with any complications whatsoever?"

"Could someone please be kind enough to either set up my helicopter flight from Ivesco or give me the City of Denver's police phone number so i can set up my chaufuer service for my "expedited" limo drive to the airport?"

ibleedorange.. you probably shouldnt ask anymore questions..;D

Beat me to it! Yeah the game is great and being there in person is something else, HOWEVER, to fully enjoy the experience, you have to at least have time out to tailgate, get schnockered and do it again the next day, post party!

[theAPAOps5]

Just getting out of the parking lot and then out of Downtown and then out of the Mouse Trap and onto I-70 will take until at least 7:30! Then you have to deal with Pena and security. As already has been said, don't try it.

well its not so much a business trip as much as it is im going to 13 for sure.... im so close to 16 that only a fool wouldn't do it........

Believe me i know about staying more than one day.......actually the games we play back to back at home im just staying in denver the whole week in between.

just figured it could be cool to make all 16 since im so close that was all....

[SouthStndJunkie]

I agree with that.

Rushing around like that would ruin a lot of the fun.

J/K..........but not really.

Yeah i understand......i was able to schedule my classes online on webct and blackboard.....i really dont like those.....but i figuredit would be impossible not to. As for work... i ahd 6 weeks vacation, and another 6 weeks in comp time saved up so thats the only reason i am able to even consider this.

But thanks for hating me.......I'll keep that in mind when i am at all the games while your at a little sports bar, studying for a midterm, getting annoyed by the guy next to you for clipping his nails at the bar and having them fly in your drink (you will get that more if you know what its from lol)

THANKS.............WINTHORPE!
Tell Elway, Emeril and girls i said hi!:welcome:

[theAPAOps5]

So what DO you do for a living that allowes you to take that much time off and afford airline tickets?

[PaintballCLE]

So what DO you do for a living that allowes you to take that much time off and afford airline tickets?

well for starters.....i have little overhead in my life which helps.....car is payed off, credit cards are paid up (well they were till the airline tickets lol)
Get to live in a dorm at school....so it doesnt cost me anything out of pocket......so basically the money i make is for me to do what i want with (and let me tell you saving is not in my vocabulary)

With that being said...I work full time at CSU (Cleveland State University) for the CSUPD ..... plus another advantage is working there full time lets me go to school for free......another added bonus.

Nice that is a good gig you have. What do you do for the PD and what are you going to school for, although I have a funny idea its Criminal Justice.

actually no, it has nothing to do with that.......I am a double major in OMS (operations management and statistics) as well as Accounting.......a little more tha 2/3 of the way done with both.

As for what I do......basically write tickets, have cars impounded, stalk the hotties walking to their cars LOL jk

Luckily, I live in a place where I get the majority of the games on TV and sports bars here aren't too bad. I had to take on a Saturday class this fall so that seriously inhibits most of my extra-curricular activities (sucks when you work and go to school full-time). I still wish I had more that 1 game a year!

[PaintballCLE]

Rep to all....and to all a goodnight!

Oh so you are a Parking Nazi. I did that one semester, I think I wrote a total of 10 tickets. They didn't ask me back.

lol well we do more than just that......lots of college kids have warrants... so theres always that.........reports on break ins, etc........
but yeah i am a parking nazi..... i write about 100 a day and tow maybe 3-4 a day..........they hate me.........especialy when i have my broncos stuff on lol

[Sir_Robin]

Please tell me you find a way to ticket any car sporting Browns paraphernalia...

[PaintballCLE]

Please tell me you find a way to ticket any car sporting Browns paraphernalia...

well not everyone.......but if they are even close to the line....i write them for being over it etc..... LOL But now the ones that really piss me off are the pittsburgh fans....(yes theres a ton of them here) now every single one of those gets tickets.......and those people with raiders stuff on their car must have the worst luck because somehow they keep getting their windows broken out.....i just can't catch this guy...:thumbsup:

[chaz]

I've actually been in this situation...I've flown in from Minnesota for a couple games and needed to be back Monday morning for class. Had a 7:30 flight that made me miss the 4th quarter....it's worth catching a redeye to see the whole game you spent so much to see.
