When you get off the Turnpike at Exit 4,, bear to the right onto Route 73, stay on that until you see signs for the Betsy Ross Bridge and Philly..........be careful, bear to the left at the split, you don't want to stay on 73, follow the bridge signs..........once on 95 S, go about 10 miles, look for the Broad St. and Pattison Avenue exit, I think it's 14? You can't miss it, you will drive right by Lincoln Financial Field, it's right after that.

can ya buy a beer @ the concert?

Anyone know anything about the bathroom/port-a-potty situation in the lot? None? A few?
My pregnant wife would like to know

Posted: **August 10, 2005 12:15 pm**

In every concert I've ever been to, there have been port-a-potty's all over the place. Later in the day there can be a line, but there are port-a-potty's. I have yet to go to a concert where there haven't been any out in the parking lots...
Hope this helps!!

BOB and MARY - You can buy beer in the concert (probably $7-9 for a 22oz cup). In the tailgate lots, You can always mooch beers. I'll have plenty if you can find the blue Mercury Mountaineer with a shark fin on top in Tailgate Lots M&N (seriously).

Register on the roll call thread and you will get a list of BNer's cell phone numbers.

My wife and I are always happy to play host. Burgers, Ribs, Beers, Chicken, if you find me I'll be happy to share. This invite is for anyone else also. Just ask "Are You Blackjack?" and I'll know you're from BN.

Regarding the port-o-potty, we usually bring a 5 gal bucket partially filled with sand and topped with a bedpan with a hole cut in it. We open both passenger doors and cover the middle with a blanket for privacy. The girls in our group have had no complaints.

Can't wait for the 27th!

we're trying to make our plans today. so many decisions to make. do we bring the RV and have a shitter or do we borrow the Helmetman limo instead? do we build a fin for the rv/limo or do we try and come up with something more original? do we bring the keg-o-rator or just settle for a big cooler w/ cans? frozen margaritas or jello shots? do we setup a bar or worry more about seating. do we cook breakfast in the lot or just eat on the ride down? decisions decisions. do we bring a Sirius radio or reply on our on CDs? what about dinner, something simple like beer dogs or go all out with shrimp fajitas? what beer to drink? full sized grill or tailgating grill? where does it end.

look forward to seeing you all there

I seem to remember that the parking lot opened at noon but now I can't find anything about it on their site. anyone know anything?
I called New Era several times and each time I get somewhere around noon. Now whether that means noon, ten am or what, I'm not sure.

As for us, we have a full tent and plan on cooking up a bushel of live crabs We'll have a small pool, too

I was thinking of a pool too.
I couldn't figure out how to get enough water to fill it up though...

Park next to the silver Hyundai and red blazer. I'll have fresh crabs, cookies, and macaroni salad (and everything else you said). We can just serve up a buffet

Seriously, though, anyone is welcome to stop by my way as well, I'll have plenty to share.....including cookies

It's pretty funny. We stole a whole bunch of sealed water jugs from my work (not really stole, management knew I was taking them), and that's how we're filling it up. It's actually a 30 gallon pond, but it's good enough to dunk your head in to cool off

Sounds good. Have you registered on the Roll Call post so I'll have your cell phone #?

By the way, are those cookies half-baked?
