Who's going to Omaha April 14, 2012

[Wino you know]

We will be in town early Friday Afternoon, staying at the Courtyard..

G.O.M. #2 and I are also staying there.
We'll probably arrive sometime after 7 PM. I'm picking him up at the Des Moines airport at 4:30 PM, and we'll leave from there for Omaha.

That's where we are staying too!

[Wino you know]

Well, we won't have far to go for our tailgate. will we?
Pick a room, ANY room-that's where the party will be.

I wonder if the hotel has a policy against tailgating in their parking lot? If it isn't a garage, we could just set up camp there. Lol

I don't think they have a garage, I believe it's just an open parking lot.
Most places I've been to have allowed us limited tailgating PROVIDED we don't get out of hand and that we CLEAN UP after ourselves. If everyone wants, I guess I could call there tomorrow and get clarification on that.
If nothing else, I guess we could meet at a bar somewhere. That's always an option.

I just booked my rental car. My SUV gets 17 mpg, so for the same money I can rent something nicer for the weekend

I haven't called the venue yet, not at home to do that just now.

Garry, if you'll ask the hotel about tailgating in their lot, that would be FINtastic

[~Hippolyte~]

If the hotel says no maybe I can talk the place right next door into using their lot: Beebe & Runyan Lofts Sales Office, South 9th Street, Omaha, NE

Those that know my real name will understand

I checked with some friends who said they did tailgate during the CWS last year. The lots for the ballpark and the arena are shared so that's probably a good sign. Mr. Lamartine - I'll be curious what you learn when you call the venue; they'll probably say the policy states no tailgating but my guess is they'll look the other way when the time comes.

Didn't get much info, I spoke with the woman that answered the phone, let her know what event/date I as calling about. She said there will be some tailgating, but that details haven't been determined. She asked that we call back next month....betting she didn't mean in 9-days ....but sometime later into March.

Hubby and I are a strong maybe for this. His B'day is April 2 so this may be his present.

Trying to find out if I have an "in" for this venue.

Where's everyone staying hotel-wise?

[Wino you know]

Most of us are at Courtyard-Marriot, Mal.
Give them a call and see what they have.
If they're fully booked, there are several others in downtown Omaha within a reasonable distance from the venue.

I'm assuming the one downtown on 10th, right?

[Wino you know]

I assume so. G.O.M. # 2 (Larry) made the reservations, and I'm thinking that has to be the only one in downtown Omaha.
Janice (txaggirl) is staying there also, as are a few other people here. Maybe you could P.M. one of them.
I wish I were near a computer right now to find out for sure. (I'm in the waiting room of an auto dealership with my cell phone).

[txaggirl91]

You mean I may I may finally meet Mal?!?!

There is only one Courtyard downtown. 10th st sounds right.
