Second Annual hR Tailgate Party

[Spence]

The hR Admins are pleased to announce a date for the Second Annual hailRedskins.com tailgate party. The tailgate party will be held in the parking lots of FedEx Field on September 12, 2004. This is the first game of the season and we chose it because of the likelihood of excellent weather, as well as the fact that a daytime game would be more convenient for our out-of-town visitors than a nighttime game. No date is perfect, but September 12 has the most positives and fewest negatives of any date.

It won't be easy to get tickets for this game, but it will be possible. Truth be told, getting tickets to any game this year will involve some work, but we're sure we can make this happen. The energy level outside and inside the stadium on September 12 should be absolutely electric.

Future details on the exact physical location of the party, as well as ticket acquisition arrangements, will be published on this board as they become available. Rest assured that your Admins are making this party a top priority and every effort will be made to ensure that everyone who wants to attend may attend.

We look forward to seeing many of you there. Some of you who missed it last year have promised to make it this time. You will be held to that promise. [Yeah, I'm lookin' at you, Jeff, Kevin, and Dave.] Hail2Skins assures me that we now possess the technology to send a virus to anyone who promises to show up but does not. And I'm not talking about a computer virus either. We've got two buckets of ebola over here and we'll use it if we have to.

Hail to the Redskins and hailRedskins.com!

The first game! WOW - Your right, tickets are going to be VERY hard to come by. If there is anything you guys need help with let me know!

[SkinsKY]

Sweet, I think I will be able to make it, assuming my job doesn't get in the way again.

[CarMike]

Sweet, I think I will be able to make it, assuming my job doesn't get in the way again.

Your job? Man, you need to get your priorities in check....:D j/k

We hope you can make it this year.

[lakewinola]

I'll be there this year.

[Keino]

Ill be at the Tailgate whether I get tickets to the game or not. Can't wait, last year was a blast.

PS. Lets remember to bring our wallets inside the gate, as you will NOT be allowed to re-enter the stadium (cough cough PSF)

[GeneralDisorder]

September 12th eh...?

Sounds good - Pencil me in. I know they're not on sale yet but how much am I likely to paying for tickets...?

[Spence]

how much am I likely to paying for tickets...?Many, many pieces of eight. Not sure how much that is in pounds or euros.

[GeneralDisorder]

Four.

[NateC124]

i'm not sure about tampa bay but im almost positive ill be there for dallas.

[SkinsKY]

Many, many pieces of eight. Not sure how much that is in pounds or euros.

:lol3: Not sure why, but this wins funniest comment of the day. I've lost trains of thought in the middle of work because I thought of that.

[Spence]

Thank you, SkinsKY. As long as I can keep people from working at the office, I consider my job well done. :)

[AGibbsGirl]

AGG and Hubbo will be there, I think we'll buy a parking pass this time and come early!!!!

[dj_stouty]

AGG and Hubbo will be there, I think we'll buy a parking pass this time and come early!!!!

My wife and I will be there again. We wouldn't miss it for anything.

I'll definitely be making nametags again (assuming the admins are cool with that). And Lorri, I'll make sure to spell your name right this year! lol :goofy:

I met a girl once who had that same "technology". Thank you Alexander Fleming (he discovered penicillin if you're wondering).

Oh, and yeah, I'll be there. :drunker:

[WackyJacky]

Okay, if I do this (and I really, really want to) I need some advice. I'll have to fly in Sat. afternoon/evening, and find a hotel near the stadium.

1. Can anyone recommend a decent, but not outrageously expensive, hotel?

2. What's the best way to get to the stadium -- taxi, bus, hitchhike? Does anyone know if any hotels will shuttle you to the game?

3. Which airport would it be best to fly in to (that is, which one is nearest the stadium)?

4. I'm hoping to not have to rent a car -- again, anyone have any shuttle knowledge from airport to hotel?

Thanks, dudes and dudettes!

[CarMike]

74verona, I'm sure Kenny and Mike would be the ones to help. Also, I'm sure someone would be willing to help you out on transportation.

dj, that would be great. I still have my name tag from last year!

man i would love to make that game, but alas i live in FL and unable to make the trip. The only way i would be able to make the trip would be to leave the little woman(the wife) home alone. And i really dont think she would appreciate that too much. Cant afford 2 plane tkts, hotel, and 2 tkts to the game.

welcome to hR chrisbcbu.

Don't worry, we'll take a lot of pictures and post them here for everyone to see. I can understand the money thing as well.

We hope you'll hang around and make hR your Redskins home.

[BandWagon]

Keep us posted on the details, we'll definitely stop by. I'll throw a few back with our regular tailgate pals and then head over! It'll be nice to meet everyone!

But this is a real offer...!!!!

*deftly dodges mirror*

[LuvSkins17]

I will be there. I need a ticket. I don't even need 2 (However 2 would be nice :sun: ). Last year was a day I will never forget. I wouldn't trade it for nothing..... well,......... maybe a little damned DEFENSE in overtime against the Giants :tongue: .

If this year is half as good as last year.... You wouldn't want to miss it either!

[dj_stouty]

As LuvSkins said...this is really an event you will remember for a long time.

To those currently on the fence about participating; I can assure you that you won't find a more dedicated and fanatical group of fans to tailgate with than the folks at hailRedskins.Com. Everyone at the tailgate feels welcome, whether you have been a regular at hr.com for along time or if you have just visited the site for a week or so. We come from all walks of life to gather on Redskin soil to socialize and support the greatest franchise in sports history.

So, if you are even remotely interested, I suggest making the trek to Fed Ex for the first regular season game of Gibb's comeback.

The stage can't be set up any better than it is...

Cheers to Week One!

[rskinsfan10]

You guys are having a tailgate?

[Skins57]

You guys are having a tailgate?

I knew we would forget to tell someone :twak:

[Farbod]

You guys need to do me a big favor... Since I can't go (Live in Los Angeles) have a great time and cheer extra hard for me :)

:havefun:

[skinsfan44]

NO. NO. NO!!!!!!!!!!

This is absolutly the worst game to have the HR Tailgate at.

First of all, it is the first game of the season.

Second, it will be near impossable for anyone who is not a season ticket holder to get tickets.

First, I tailgate with the same crew of people. Being the first game of the season, it is like a family reunion. We talk during the off season, but we only see each other only during our tailgates.

I can't miss that first tailgate of the year.

Second, my friends that I use to get tickets from before I got my own season tickets, told me that his parents (who hasen't been to a game since Gibbs left), said that they would not miss Gibbs first game back for a million dollars. He also told me that everyone in the family wants to go too, but they don't have enough tickets.

All my friends are beating down my door for that first game. They all want to be at Gibbs first game. They all are now bidding on it, and the price goes up everyday. It is crazy.

Sadly, since it is the first game of the year, I will not be able to attend the HR tailgate this year. :cry:

Count me in also, I will sell my car and walk if I have too.... :D


LOL.

Wish I could make it there.

I guess I'll have to organize an away version in Chicago.

[IowaSkinsFan]

I met a girl once who had that same "technology". Thank you Alexander Fleming (he discovered penicillin if you're wondering).

Oh, and yeah, I'll be there. :drunker:

Comic relief will be in full force with both you and Spence present!

[skinsfan44]

TRY EBAY,CLASSIFIEDS,OR SCALPERS-Who knows someone may get sick!

I guess you didn't see that I have season tickets, I will be at the game, but I just won't be able to come to the HR Tailgate.

I don't know, I might be able to get away early from my tailgate to stop by and say "Hi", but that would be it.

[LadyNRedskinsfan]

Don't change and you can attend a Browns game. Thank you, thank you. Remember to tip your bartenders and waiters......

[rskinsfan10]

Okay folks,

Just as last year, I will probably be doing the most to organize this. A few things that I would like to point out:

As Spence mentioned, getting tickets will be tough throughout the year, not just for the home opener. I will do my very best to try to line up tickets for members that need them as I did last year, but there are no guarantees. I know that those that attended last year enjoyed being able to sit with other members of hR, but you may have to secure your own tix this year, to which you would be spread out throughout the stadium. That shouldn't stop you from enjoying the actual tailgate itself. Members like Spence, RedskinsDave, Patrick and Skinsfan44 are season ticket holders, so they wouldn't be sitting together either way, just to use an example.

If we cannot secure tickets, then what we will do is leave that up for you the member to do yourself, and just charge a fee per person to enjoy the unlimited food and drink that will be there. We are also thinking of other things to make it more memorable, which we will announce in the future if we deem them as reasonable to add to the event.

Stay tuned, there will be more info to come.

[colkurtz]

Is it better ot scalp on the day of the event or try to get tickets on the internet beforehand?

I'm going to try to be there!

Hail!

[juskins]

If you guys can promise me a ticket I will come ALL THE WAY FROM HAWAII--
Life long SKINS fan from Hawaii that has never been to a SKINS game

count me in....Can anyone get me discounts on airfare, room, transportation, and so on...

contact me PLEASE

[Axegrinder]

I guess you didn't see that I have season tickets, I will be at the game, but I just won't be able to come to the HR Tailgate.

I don't know, I might be able to get away early from my tailgate to stop by and say "Hi", but that would be it.
I look foward to meeting you there or crashing your party[smile].Either way,we're all there in spirit!Hope to see you.

[Skins57]

I am not sure I would want to try to find tickets the day of this as scalpers will be off the chart for the opening game for Gibbs return, I would not count on that at all

[Axegrinder]

I went through the same thing at the opening of Fed Ex.
I didn't have tix and was looking to scalp.The nosebleeds were astronomical.We wandered over to the ticket office and they had gameday club seats available at the same price.Clubs aren't included for it to be considered a sellout,at least that's my understanding.It might be worth a check.Bring plenty of $$ in case.

There are other reasons that Spence and RedskinsDave shouldn't be sitting together that have nothing to do with where their season tickets are located!

[Patrick]

For those of your trying to get tickets ..... Start scanning E-Bay for both Skins AND Buc now!

This is going to be a GREAT Event. You don't often find a better group of people sharing a good time for a common love! Can't not wait to get together with you good folks again. ......... AND Remember - don't forget to wear your hR t-shirts!!!!

[Patrick]

Oh yeah - almost forgot ............ ONLY 147 days till Kick - Off !!!!!!

[lakewinola]

I hear that!!

[smoak]

i would definitely be interested!! is it open to all of us? (sounds like it)... i would also love to contribute in any way (food or whatever).

man, gibbs first game back... that is going to be so amazing! i still can't believe it!

[GeneralDisorder]

My wife and I will be there again. We wouldn't miss it for anything.

I'll definitely be making nametags again (assuming the admins are cool with that). And Lorri, I'll make sure to spell your name right this year! lol :goofy:

Badges...? We don't need no steenkin' badges...

Right chappies - two weeks booked in September. Count me in (now how the bejaysus I manage to blag a ticket for the game is another question)...

Am also looking at doing a Week 2 game - what's New Yoik like for visiting fans...?

[lightskin]

Sounds like alot of fun.

The good news is I'll be at Fed-Ex Field, but the not-so-good news is I'll be working that day.

So I expect everyone attending the Tailgate Party to stop by my gate with food, beverages and a big hello.

Did I say please..... :D

I've been doing a lot of searching and this site seems to have the cheapest tickets available. I have no idea if they're reliable or not.....

Are we doing the GREEN parking pass again?

[WackyJacky]

Holy cow, I didn't realize they were so expensive. What can you all tell me about the nosebleed seats? Is there a jumbotron? Can ya get a beer that far up???

[Keino]

74Verona, those who know me here will tell you I am a bit of a Ticket Snob. If it isn't 100 section, I'd rather watch the game at home. However, after sitting in the 400's last year with everyone else I can tell you a couple of things:

1. There is not really a bad seat in the house as far as seeing the action (and yes there is a nice Jumbotron)

2. Beer man makes it to the 400's....pretty frequently. (Though I carried my buzz into the stadium with me)

My friend has had good experiences with this company.

[WackyJacky]

Thanks for the info, Keino! I wish I could spring for better seats, but I'm just a poor bread baker...

So the deal is, we all meet at a particular time/place for the tailgate, but we're on our own as far as securing tickets? Just want to be sure I'm understanding it all.

[RedskinsDave]

That's correct Verona. Don't be late though, the RedskinsDave-Spence Cage Match starts promptly at 11 a.m. :rpunch: :D

Make sure we know which gate it is, I'm sure General Disorder only wants you patting him down... :gwink:

[GeneralDisorder]

Oi. I heard that...

Anyhoo, if anyone's interested, I can book around 5 tickets at $99 so at least a group of us can sit together.

That's if no-one minds sitting next to an axe-wielding homicidal maniac who they've only just met over the internet...

[GeneralDisorder]

Disregard that previous message - got meself sorted.

Unless anyone wants tickets for the RedskinsDave/Spence lovefest...

[rskinsfan10]

Just remember, I have not given up hope of being able to get tix for members again this year. I'm just letting you know that it will be alot harder this year then it was last year, and trust me when I tell you that I hade a devil of a time getting the ones that I did for those that attended.

I don't mind the hard work because I know that the folks that I took care of last year were very appreciative.

[JoeDaSchmoe]

Man, those tickets AGG listed are out of my league. They might not be if I land a good summer job, but that's up in the air, plus they could be sold out once I have decent cash. I wonder if eBay will be able to work the wonders for me that it did last year with my parking ticket.....

I for one was very appreciative of Kenny's hard work with everything. The seats were good last year and the company was great !!!!

Forget E-bay, the tickets there are already selling in the hundreds of $.

On the site that I listed, they had seats that only cost $99.00. Other sites wanted $20-$30 more for comparable sections. (I used to be in purchasing, so I like to compare prices before I settle on anything.)

Kenny...you are the MAN! Let me know if you need help with anything, OK?

[smoak]

Whoa...wait I dog gone minute here....I just checked back on that ASC ticket site. Yesterday they had all their 400 seats at $99.00 (I know because I bought 5 in the end zone) now the lowest is selling for $125.00.
I wonder what happened?

Sorry guys, I see now what Joe was talking about

i just got 2 400 level tickets from them for $99 each! thank you so much for posting that link! $200 is not too bad... now what is the tailgate party all about? do you guys get started early or what!? man, i am so flipping excited now!

[smoak]

also, if the deal is we get package tickets and all sit together, then i will sell these on ebay... i just didn't want to be shut out!

[AGibbsGirl]

also, if the deal is we get package tickets and all sit together, then i will sell these on ebay... i just didn't want to be shut out!

That's my plan as well.

I've offered 2 of my 5 tickets to other members here at hR, because they're coming from out of state and I wanted them to be able to make their plane reservations knowing they'd definitely have seats, but I think that we’d all prefer to sit together if possible.
Lord knows we could sell these tickets on E-bay if we had to.

[AGibbsGirl]

I'm going to delete some of my posts because I don't know what the heck I'm doing this morning...

[smoak]

So then I'm confused...?
You were able to get $99.00 tickets?
'Cause I just looked, and I didn't see the $99 ones anymore....http://www.hostboard.com/ubb/smilies/expressive/boggled.gif

maybe they went up b/c i bought 2 more? i wouldn't be surprised if ticket agencies sell tickets on a tiered basis... i am so happy to be in the building for gibbs' first game back!!!

[AGibbsGirl]

Please ignore me, I just checked back and there are $99.00 tickets, I don't know what in the world I was looking at earlier. I deleted those other posts...http://www.hostboard.com/ubb/smilies/expressive/crazy.gif

Maybe I missed it, but I only see $125 tickets.

Lakewinola, Wanna car pool from??? Anyone have access to extra tickets in case mine fall though??

Make sure we know which gate it is, I'm sure General Disorder only wants you patting him down... :gwink:

I've only been a member for two days, but I have heard a few people (including one of my Funky4 buddies) mention the "HR Tailgate Party." Is this an actual event? Am I invited? I'd love to meet and hang out with some of you guys. Let me know, if anyone has info.

[GeneralDisorder]

Moped Riders Association...?

Blimey - it's hell on hair-dryers...


Anyway, am on the verge of booking my flights, etc. Looks like there'll be a one-man cockney invasion on the 9th - Anyone recommend any bars to watch the NFL Kick Off game...?

Oh yes, and are there any skanky hotels in central DC that I need to avoid like the plague...?

[dj_stouty]

There is a "sticky" post at the top of this page that will give you more information.

Last year was our first year, and the tailgate was at least 20+ strong. We tailgated near the marching band, since Kenny and Mike (both Hr.com admins) are in the band/funky 4. They even had a good portion of the band serenade us with "Hail To the Redskins" out in the parking lot.

Check out the original thread for more details. I know we are planning on having it for the home opener vs. the Bucs.

It truly is a blast and we would love to have you join us. (With the costume, of course!)

[BigCountry]

Starting last year it's an anual even for all the members and Mark's car keys. The admins will probably be organizing it but if you own a hotel talk to me. :wacky:

[GeneralDisorder]

Oi!

(cough...) Hotels...?

(...and who's those two at the back...? Do they play basketball...?)

[GeneralDisorder]

Ah - that'll be another tumbleweed moment again...

[superskin]

I definitely plan on stopping by and meeting all of you before the game. Something tells me I wont need a name tag, though.

I'm still waiting on Kenny and Mike to invite me for a special one game only appearance with them to dance in the corner of the end zone. Trust me - SuperSkin has moves! Now Play that Funky Music, White Boy!

[AGibbsGirl]

Someone find this man a hotel and a decent bar!

(That's Thomas and Harry! And they were standing on a guard rail that was back there!!!!!!!!!) Check out captioned photos here:

We usually secure a spot in a GREEN lot in the C area. We (members of the band) have tailgated there for years now. Unless something changes, that is where it will be this year also.

I have not gotten confirmation on my ticket source just yet.

Last year, us hr.com tailgaters received a wonderful show from the Marching Band. Can we expect a similar show from the Funky 4 this year? :D

Anything scheduled for the Monday Night Game?

[Axegrinder]

Any new info?Thoughts?Suggestions?
I'm SOOOO looking foward to this event!
Let's get this party started!!!

[FootballNorth]

Check out the Days Inn Capital Beltway. Not fancy, but close. You can walk to the stadium from there if you want to. I did it last year for the Thursday night opener. It is just south of the stadium on Central Ave.
