First, the only investment as an a money maker is if the Chargers dont suck eggs. Everyone here knows that the biggest bandwagon fans are located in San Deigo. Eating 15 Ravens tickets when I was trying to sell many below face value. This team was on a great record after there 1 and 3 start but the bandwagon wasnt buying it (literally). Just picture this team going back to the way we know Chargers are capable of doing. I will lose 20k for one season without a problem. This is just how the fans are in LoCal. My intentions were to never buy 50 season tickets. In fact, I have owned these seats before i knew one soul at the Mane. As the Chargers were winning or at least having Plaza level get more popular, I had to increase my group tickets for one game (Broncos since 1993) to two games then they wanted to start a 4 game pack so I had to shell out for that. When the Chargers won the division 4 years back, they told me I either had to buy the whole season or move my group up to end zone upper view level. I have sat there after their SB run in 95 and decided to keep the seats. TGtroll, you can think otherwise but it was to keep these great seats that i have had all of 13 or 15 years. This is why I kept the seats. If this game was an investment, I would never let any of you know I own this many seats and sell them on stub hub for close to double (last years game). No one here has the obligation to buy tickets from me year end and year out. I dont have that choice if I keep these tickets via season tickets. If I dont shell out the big bucks for these seats, then we have 25 or more maners scrambling for tickets and will pay much more and be spread out throughout the stadium ie. Arizona. I have paid for food, beer, etc for many years (before the Mane) because the group of people that always bought tickets were showing up late and therefore parked far away. The group party i created in 1993 was being spliced so if I bought all the grub, they would have to get there at the same time to take advantage of the food. Since some of those people still come to the game and buy my tickets, I kept that tradition along. If that bothers anyone here of having one person getting the tailgate food and beer/soda, then I guess a public poll will be put out after the schedule comes out so we can get a head count of who is going and what way they want to go. Many of you come out of town and it makes it much easier to have all things done by one person/group ie. Orangemane weekend. I dont care one way or the other. It is just something I did to keep everyone together as one big group. TGtroll or anyone else can think otherwise. If that is you, please please please do not go against your beliefs of having me make $13 a ticket and buy somewhere else. Tailgatting together is what I have always pictured Broncos fans to do ever since i went to my first Broncos/Chargers game in 1992. Now, I dont want this to damage this weekend based on one person who doesnt leave the state of Colorado. I have a chance to be with 15 people that bought tickets for this game and are Broncos fans. THey are in the RV lot so set up room already by 11 am. I believe they are opened to having there spot as our party. If not, we can shoot for the marquee spot and all, including Dimitri, will meet there regardless if you bought tickets from me or not. I will still be going to Costco to get grub. All those that have there own tickets and want to go in on the tailgate, PM me so I have a head count. It will probably be $10 depending on how many. More the merrier when you go to "Bulk R Us" Costco.
