we got tailgate parking tickets too. any idea when the gates will open for this? tomorrow wouldn't be too early for us!
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?CoalCrackerParrothead wrote: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!!
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?CoalCrackerParrothead wrote: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!
The friendly folks at New Era have told me 9:00am, 11:00am and 1:00pm. How's that for efficiency? Stay tuned...JimChunk wrote:we got tailgate parking tickets too. any idea when the gates will open for this? tomorrow wouldn't be too early for us!
I look forward to it. Four months, 7 days and counting.CoalCrackerParrothead wrote:BTW, hope to meet you and all the BN'ers at the show!
Your from Pottsville?!?!?!CoalCrackerParrothead wrote: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!
Actually, I moved back in October. I'm in Oneida now...finally made the big time!CoalCrackerParrothead wrote: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.
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!sy wrote:I just managed to squeak a score of tickets for Saturday's concert, so I will be there! Just wish I could get a straight answer of when the tailgate lot opens:(
See ya Saturday (and Thursday)

Thanks for the advice on getting down there early. Fortunately for me and the others going, my husband's the designated driver:)blackjack wrote: I'll see you Saturday. Congrats on the tix.

That's quite a ride after the show. Pace yourself or try to get someplace to stay.
Go figure.rednekkPH wrote: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.rednekkPH wrote:Hey Sy! Hope to see you Thursday and Saturday. Where in Berks are you? I live in N. Schuylkill, and work in Pottsville.
