My "Tailgate Parking" passes arrived this weekend. Still no tickets, but I've been told the remainder of the tickets were going out via Bulk Mail this weekend. And should be delivered in a week to 10 days. (Heard this same thing 2 weeks ago!)

we got our tickets a few weeks ago, but I know there are others in our BDPHC that haven't recieved them yet.

Hello to all you Philly bound Parrotheads!! We are staying at the Holiday Inn Stadium also. Just wondering if anyone knows anything about tailgating in the hotel lot. I've emailed the hotel twice with that same question but never got a reply. We'd like to stay in the lot with our group if they let us. Easy access to our room and the stadium. Of course, we'll be walking around looking for the BN flag just to say Hi!! BTW, if this question is posted somewhere else on the board, sorry about that. My wife and I both post things here under the same name. She needs her own identity!!

They definitely have tailgating in the hotel lot. For football games they charge anywhere from $20 (regular season) - $50 (playoffs). Try giving them a good old-fashioned phone call regarding parking for hotel guests and/or additional cars. Any chance CoalCracker has anything to do with the Pittsburgh area?

No, the other side of the state. Schuylkill County, about 2 hours from Philly and home of Yuengling, America's oldest brewery. Although we are Steeler fans living in a sea of Eagle Green!

Ah, up there in the Pottsville/St. Clair area? I feel for you, I too bleed the black & gold in the South Jersey sea of green. See you at the show! Will we be picking a receiver, tight end or cornerback in the draft this weekend?

The friendly folks at New Era have told me 9:00am, 11:00am and 1:00pm. How's that for efficiency? Stay tuned...

CoalCrackerParrothead · April 19, 2005 11:03 pm

I think they should shore up the defense with a cornerback. We are in Mahanoy City, 15 min. from Pottsville.

CoalCrackerParrothead · April 19, 2005 11:05 pm

BTW, hope to meet you and all the BN'ers at the show!

I look forward to it. Four months, 7 days and counting.

Your from Pottsville?!?!?!

My sister-in-law is from there...

CoalCrackerParrothead · April 20, 2005 10:00 am

Actually, from Mahanoy City, just north of Pottsville. But I've drank enough Yuengling that I might as well move there! Well, maybe not. Although a lot of people move from the srea, we really like it here. Frank lives only 10 minutes from me and I work 1 min. from his house.

CoalCrackerParrothead · April 20, 2005 10:00 am

Oops! That's "area". Damn fat fingers!

Actually, I moved back in October. I'm in Oneida now...finally made the big time!

I'll see you Saturday. Congrats on the tix. If you're coming from Berks County you should leave by 9:00am. The lots will be open by 11:00 (I'm guessing.) Saturday shows seem to get the tailgaters out much earlier!

That's quite a ride after the show. Pace yourself or try to get someplace to stay.

Thanks for the advice on getting down there early. Fortunately for me and the others going, my husband's the designated driver:)

Hey Sy! Hope to see you Thursday and Saturday. Where in Berks are you? I live in N. Schuylkill, and work in Pottsville.

I'm over in Douglassville, right off of 422. Pottsville's about an hour from me, give or take.

I can't wait to see everyone:)
