This post will contain a lot of the same information as the last tailgating thread. We are a little late on getting this thread going, but spread the word that a number of PackerForum.com members will be down at Qualcomm Stadium having a good time.
Post a reply to this thread if you have any questions and/or comments.
Map 1: Meetup Point to Caravan into Stadium:
You will notice a red marker on the map. Here are the directions that I take from Orange County. You can jump in where you recognize the direction:
The entry plan is simple. At 12:55pm, I will start the charge to the parking lot in the slow lane. (There are 3 lanes going down Friars Road.) For some reason EVERYONE piles up into the fast lane and the middle lane, but that is not necessary. We will be driving in the slow UNTIL we pass under a bridge. After passing under the bridge, our caravan will merge one lane over to the left. NOTE: this is not a OMG I HAVE TO CUT SOMEONE off type thing. There is another lane coming down from the bridge that merges in as well, so it is no big deal.
At that point we will be in the proper lane to make the left hand turn into the stadium to pay for parking. ($25 for parking in the stadium per car)
Map 2: Meetup Point Once Inside the Stadium:
This is pretty simple, once we pay we will loop around inside the parking lot to F4. I might have a little surprise to mark our territory, but one way or another, you will be able to find us right around F4.
I will have a Chevy Silverado with a PackerForum.com Flag at the END of F4. We basically park here because it is right next to the exit for an easy out after the game is over.
If you are coming from the air port, just tell taxi or whatever your transportation is to take you right to the stadium! Do not tell them to take you to the hill! Meet us at F4, we will be there by 1:05pm at the latest.
Food/Drink Information:
I will have a bunch of drinks and food that I will be passing out as the day goes on till it runs out. I will also have my portable BBQ that anyone is more the welcome to use and get after. (it might be a little used and abused, but it works great!) I know lots of people will be bringing a number of different items that I am sure will be passed around.
IMPORTANT NOTE ABOUT DRINKS!
You are not allowed to have glass in the parking lot! You can bring glass bottled drinks, but you will have to pour them into a plastic cup. So if your beverage of choice ONLY comes in a bottle MAKE SURE to bring plastic cups. I would hate for someone to get a ticket. (And yes, I have seen it done before.)
Fan Information:
There will be a number Charger fans running in and out of the tailgate. (some of which I am bringing) They are good peoples. So lets be nice to everyone.
Surprise Information:
I MAY or MAY NOT have something to pass out to people in the parking lot that mention they are from PackerForum.com!
I will confirm in this thread if it comes through, but for now, it is a GO!
If you have another questions, post them here and I hope to meet a number of you guys at the game!
