Week 15 (Broncos @ Arizona) Merged

It wasn't until my 3rd call that I was told about lot H. I think the guy I talked to was a Broncos fan.

Wow.... 30? I don't know the total count of RV spots for Invesco but it's got to be in the neighborhood of 150 to 200 permit spots and there are various places that you can get in with an RV on the day of the game as well... I guess Bidwell has not heard of this phenomenon called the tailgate.

So anyway, I have not called but sounds like if it is Lot H then it is Lot H. My mother-in-law will be very happy to hear though about the shuttle to the stadium. It was quite a walk in KC for her. But.... one thing is that it would be nice for every Cardinal fan to walk up / drive up and see a magnificent cluster of Bronco vehicles, flags, and fans and think - wow those guys really know how to tailgate. I remember in KC the Bronco fans who saw our cluster and said I have to go check that out and even the KC fans who came out to welcome us to their turf.

If you all are looking for RV parking...

http://www.cabelas.com/cabelas/en/te.../glendale.html

Cabelas just opened up across the street from Glendale Arena, which is right next to Cardinal's Stadium. They have RV parking. It would be a bit of a walk, but nothing too crazy. I was talking to a buddy at work who was at Cabela's during the Cardinal's pre-season game and he said that a lot of people parked there and walked to the Stadium from there.

I'm not sure if they charge to use their RV parking, but it might be worth a look. I hope that helps!

Good to know! Could be a plan B if Lot H doesn't work out. Thanks for the tip!

Sounds like us Bronco fans are right around the same area...

I'm in sec 123 row 4

http://www.seats3d.com/nfl/arizona_c...sec_125_1.html

[smalltowngrll]

This could be awesome to see all of the Orange and Blue in the stadium behind our beloved Broncos players!!

[0SE7EN]

Visiting fans usually outnumber the home here in Arizona, so in a way, this won't be too far from a home game for the broncos! There will be at least 4 Bronco fans on my row, including myself

WHo r u going with, your daughter? I will have 2 or 3 left over depending on if the wife wants to go. It is earl y but out of towners should get some type of group hotel rooms. THere was a post earlier on here from a person that works at a hotel. Maybe it is close to the action and stadium. If not, we are crashing at LUdos place.

Yeah, my daughter is going with me. I have 2 more tickets...but, not sure if I'll be selling those or not. I should know more in Oct. Nov.ish!

You can see the stadium from lot H, its maybe a 1/2 mile walk if you don't want to take the shuttle. Cabelas maybe a bit less, but definitely closer. I will try and get over there this weekend and talk to them see what options we have. I will take some pics and post also.

If you want hotels you want to be off of 83rd Bell, Its about a 5 minute drive to the stadium. Not the closest to the stadium, but in the area of local bars. (Fox and Hound, McDuffy's, Monastery Too, Hooters and a couple others). Plus within walking distance of my house if I get toasted. There is a Comfort Sweets, La Quinta, Residence Inn, Hampton Inn, all within walking distance of the bars and each other. There are none currently next to the stadium.



This picture is not from Lot H, but from across Loop 101. I will post some this weekend.

[broncocalijohn]

i think ogi is the man when it is time to get the head count on this one. 1/2 mile away? That just seems too far for the tailgate feeling. We need closer. DIdnt someone say about restaurants having parkng across from the stadium? Ogi, go by there and find out. We need to get those passes now.

woah not sure if it would more appropriate to tailgate right there or do some farming.....

OGI you are definetly working your way to point man for this one! We need to put out maximum effort to secure one of the reserved spots or something!

The cards fans wouldn't know what hit em if we could plant OF1 in the middle of their cozy little 30 spot RV park...

Well atleast one farmer is going to cash out real soon.....We need to run a public record search to find out who owns that land and buy about 45 feet from him to build a cement RV pad...lmao!

ah Bidwell...He got his stadium built in the middle of a weed field and still can't manage to have a couple of RV spots.

Lol! No kidding. The Bidwells are so cheap! Even after signing Leinart, they are still about 10 million UNDER THE CAP. You can buy a lot of talent for that thesedays. I guess that's why the visitors always have more fans than the cardinals do

I'm wondering if Glendale Arena next door will have their lots opened up at all on Gameday... Its all free parking anyway, so I don't see why not.

From my understanding...looking at the map and logistics...that is part of lot G...??

Corrrect STG, the parking pass i have is for Lot G and accorifing to the map, it is dead on Glendale Arenas parking,

[Bronco Billy]

I know there's only 30 passes, but I've been searching for an RV pass for us. Does the pass actually say RV on it or does it just say H lot?

I will try and find that out also.

I am working the Cardinals forums, hopefully I'll get a bite.

Im pretty sure its Lot F. But not just F for cars. The cardinals called it F-oversized.

I actually knew it was F. I'm not sure why I put "H" in the post. I will look for F-oversized. I've been searching for F (RV).

[ludo21]

F is for over sized vehicles as well I believe. You are right.

And this has gotta be a joke.....

[usedupbraids]

the cards are this years break out team well i think in the NFC

[ludo21]

Here is a post from AZ forum, pretty informative.

You don't need passes for Lot H. It's the single game lot. You can tailgate in any lot (all others require a pass, which can be purchased for various amounts on Stubhub.com, but NOT at the stadium), but you can't take more than one spot. You can set up a tent at the end of your vehicle, no buses allowed though. So either you get a pass for Lot F, (the oversize vehicle lot) or you takes you chances with Lot H. OR there's a church on 91st that was selling parking for $5.

The fact that you can't just drive up and purchase parking is going to be a real pain all season, because anyone not in the know, will be thinking they can purchase at the lot. I don't see the parking lot situation changing much because of this. Too bad.

People here in AZ hope so. I've got nothing against the cardinals..I hope they do well. I just hate the owners. The've been screwing the fans since the Bidwells moved the Cards to AZ.

They've got some great talent at WR, and now RB. Defense looks okay (why we let Berry go is beyond my understanding).

Still sportswriters and sports talk in arizona aren't impressed yet (who can blame their skepticism). Most of them are saying that the Cards will be doing well if they go 7-9 this year (O-line is still a little suspect). They have James now, but can they block for him is the question. James doesn't have the luxury of having one of the best lines in front of him anymore. We'll see! Not a Cards fan, but would be nice to have a winning NFL team in town for a change..get some people excited about sports around here.

Wait! So what about regular cars, no tailgates, no nothing? Just my car, driving to the game, wanting to park. I'm not allowed in any of the lots without a parking pass? Otherwise I'll have to park at one of the nearby businesses (not many as the stadium is in BFE) and walk there?
