BlueDamsel · 08-24-2004, 11:55 AM

This one should be a blast...Rhogan, Alec? Y'all want to take over from here?

Meck77 · 08-28-2004, 10:16 PM

Hey Alec? Get your ass down here. This is your baby. What was the deal now. We had some pentouse place lined up. Who offered that up?

Last I knew about this, Worm was thinking about trying to set something up at his place in the Warehouse District....although I could have that wrong and it has been awhile.....

Best I can tell ya is to research the Saints game thread for verification of that and then PM worm and see what he says, if it's still a go, etc.

Np.....I'm on it. Hey Alec I'm picking your ass up. Don't suppose there are any nice RV lots off of Bourbon street?

We need to run a satellite image to see who has a nice yard nearby kinda like Frank's setup at the HOF.... lmao

Rock Chalk · 08-29-2004, 02:00 PM

Yeah Meck, worm is supposed to hook us up but if not I got a backup plan in place. The dude I got the tickets from has the hookup on the spot. He knows about the bus and the group we have and said there is a spot like 2 blocks away PERFECT for what we want.

Id rather set this up at worm's though since he offered. I think worm hangs out at the freak and I will see about getting in touch with him.

Cool...we'll have to get Worm a bottle of Tequila with a worm in it as a token of appreciation.

Hi guys, quick question, I am planning to go to this game but was wondering if you had a good source for tickets? The one's that are still available on the Ticketmaster site suck.

Thanks for any help.

Meck77 · 08-30-2004, 08:59 AM

I have sources for home tickets but not away tickets. Only thing that comes off the top of my head is ebay but people probably aren't selling those until the game get's closer. Never know.

2324070933 · 08-30-2004, 10:25 AM

Thanks for the help, i'll give ebay a try

nooner · 09-05-2004, 09:28 AM

Lisa and I got tickets for this game and will be partying our asses off on Bourbon Street before all weekend. Hope to see you all there!
-Ben

Rock Chalk · 09-05-2004, 10:13 PM

Keep checking back here ben, and everyone. About a week or two before the game we will have everything worked out on where to meet up so we can all party together.

In our second annual, away game trip myself, brother, father, and cousin have aquired tickets to the Broncos @ Saints. We will be in section 155. We plan to drive, and will be leaving at 12:30 P.M. on the 19th. I am in the process of securing a hotel. If anyone knows of safe, decent areas let me know.

We are definitley wanting to hook up with the party at Orange Force One.

Also, we purchased our tickets for $59 a pop on ebay. Do a search on Denver Broncos @ New Orleans Saints. I dealt with a seller name dlhunt1. He has four more tickets that are located right next to ours. Having 8 broncos fans in row would be awesome.

GSRelyea · 09-16-2004, 11:17 AM

Since I am flying from upsate NY I had to book flight and hotel kind of early in order to get a good price. So I went on priceline.com and got 2 plane tix and 3 nights at the Mariott for $800. I guess the Mariott (downtown) is only 1/2 a mile from the superdome, so it seemed like a good place, plus it is .01 miles from Harrahs casino so that sealed the deal for me. If anyone is familiar w/ the area, let me know if this is a convienent spot to be staying at, and also, I would assume taking cabs is a lot easier than renting a car

Any help would be appreciated.

Rock Chalk · 09-16-2004, 02:33 PM

Thats a good spot Greg. They dont build Marriot's in bad neighborhoods dude

I saw worm here the other day but it didnt occur to me to talk to him. Forgot about it. I dont think worm's spot is in the warehouse district, I was under the impression it was right near the Superdome.

Whatever, if Jim(worm) cant swing the party, we do have a second place to meet up. The Bus! I cant wait to see what you've got Meck. Are you good to go on wireless networking? I wanna bring my laptop and you will need a wireless router for me to use the internet!

God damn Im all excited about this

BlueDamsel · 09-16-2004, 03:20 PM

There is a wireless router for the bus - it wasn't hooked up this weekend, but by the Saints game it should be....

I know that NO isn't so much a tailgating town...but why couldn't we show 'em how it's done anyway? Probably would confuse the heck out of the parking lot attendants

Perhaps someone should contact Joe Cahn (The tailgating commissioner) he's from down there - maybe he or his people could hook us up with some information about what to do now?

Whichever way you guys want to go is fine with me.

The rooftop here is waiting for a Bronco's party.....but either way count me in... 1st keg is on me.

This is a great place to stay. It is about 4 blocks from my front door (I live 1 block away from Harrahs casino).

Don't get a car. Everything is walkable once you take a cab or shuttle from the airport.

I can check on this. A spot RIGHT AT the Superdome would be sweet.

It would allow more than just those familar with this site to experience OF1 and the pregame festivities.

Hogan11 · 09-16-2004, 04:52 PM

This is gonna be one rockin' weekend.....

BlueDamsel · 09-16-2004, 05:49 PM

Thanks Worm...We were worried about you there for a bit, since we hadn't heard from you about anything as of late...

I know that the rooftop party would be fun, but I think that having a spot where most everyone would be able to see things would make it that much better...

A lot of people will be coming to this game that haven't necessarily been able to experience a Broncos home game, so why not treat it like it is one? Have a real Broncos tailgate...

Someone said that they were talking to a saint's fan & they are trying to get people to start tailgating...Perhaps calling up the superdome/parking attendants would be a place to start...make sure that they would have a place for a 40' vehicle to park & tailgate...We have pictures up of the tailgate on orangeforceone.com -- you could show them what the Broncos do for us...We would just need an RV-type spot...

Anyway, just a few ideas!

alberson55 · 09-17-2004, 09:54 AM

I will also be making the trip to New Orleans, and will be sitting in sec 155. Nice to know there will be fellow Bronco fans close by. I cannot wait to be a part of the Orange force one party. Looking forward to having a hell of a weekend.

TailgateNut · 09-17-2004, 10:14 AM

I've been to Nawlins' several times and the tailagting scene is absolutely awful. I guess they feel you can go to the French Qtr prior to the game. The Marriot is only a $4-6 cab ride from the dome.
If you want to contact Joe Cahn, his website is at Tailgating.com, which has parking info!
We usually stay in a bed and breakfast in the Garden district. If you're interested I'll get info for you. It's quieter and the put out an awesome breakfast and afternoon open bar!

GSRelyea · 09-17-2004, 10:20 AM

If you build a tailgate; they will come.

This sounds like it is going to be a great weekend. First time going to NO so it should be a drunken blurry vacation. Thanks everyone for sharing knowledge on the city, it def helps to talk to people that have been or live there.

BlueDamsel · 09-17-2004, 11:01 AM

Yeh the only problem with tailgating.com is that they don't respond very quickly to emails -- Meck sent one when he got back from Canton & I sent one a few weeks ago - neither of us have a response!

I do have his mobile # - maybe someone could give him a call?

If you do give him a call, ask Joe why he isn't comin' to Mile High this year. He stopped by the past couple of years, but I don't see us on the schedule.
One thing I would suggest is calling the "folks" at Harrahs to see if they would sponsor a spot in their lot. It's right at the end of Canal street, near the french market. Lots of exposure!!!!! I don't think parking for the "bus" will be avaiable at the stadium, although with connections there may be a possibility.
Have you tried the "aint's" web-site. Maybe you can disguise yourself as an out-of-town aint's fan and buy some passes.
Another possibility would be SMC, I believe it's the same mgt. co. which screws up the parking at Mile High!
