whos IN?
2007 season drink menu is currently in production...
i will be in attendance. MNF taterskins home opener? how can I not?
Home opener = IN.
And may I suggest bloody mary's with Old Bay seasoning for the brunch segment of the tailgate?
It's the least we can do to "honor" the arrival of the Chesapeake Indigenous Persons to Philly. Well, that and a few dozen eggs, that is.
Totally in, of course. I'm not sure how/when we'll all get there, but it'll happen, dammit.
I'll be there with absinthe & smoked tri-tip roast. :D
^^^^
i dont know what either of those things are but ill be there with some kind of fruity drink and lots of swine

for the win....
Game 1 – September 17 - Washington – The Kaptain
75 oz. vodka (three fifths)
48 oz. captain (two fifths)
48 oz. water
18 oz. lemon liquor or limoncello
36 oz. frozen lemonade concentrate
Sounds like a giant jug of Mike's Hard Lemonade. Take out the water and replace it with 48 more ounces of vodka and you might have a winner on your hands.
my face just puckered up reading those ingredients. and by face i mean butthole.

its 2-1 liquor as it is...48 oz more of liquor would kill some people and make the others not like it...i think a half dozen fifths of liquor in a cooler drink is sufficient

i prefer bitch ass wigga
That would be a great name for that drink.
"Yo, IGY... gimme another one of those bitch ass wigga's!"
tryin to figure out why the drink is weak...but i cant
Because it has 84 ounces of liquid training wheels mixed in there. Any drink that contains more than one non alchoholic beverage in the ingrediants is for women, the gays and MDS.
so the white wine sangria in week two will be manly?
If made properly, a good sangria will knock you on your ass. Make it strong and limit yourself to one non alchoholic beverage for added flavor and you'll be good.

QuoteCost of parking up $9
The cost of parking for Eagles games at Lincoln Financial Field has been increased from $11 to $20 this season, starting with tonight's exhibition game against the Carolina Panthers. The parking increase includes all lots in the sports complex, which cover about 22,000 parking spaces.
Though the 82 percent increase is substantial, the Eagles' new price is not out of line with what is being charged in many other NFL cities. The Chicago Bears charge $40 for parking, the New England Patriots $35, the Cincinnati Bengals $31, the Washington taterskins and Green Bay Packers $30, the Dallas Cowboys $23, $38 and $43, and the Baltimore Ravens $25.
are they fargin kidding me?? also, when was parking ever $11?
Source?
it was in the daily news.... legit.
Yeah...I see it now, and I heard about it from last night's attendees. Apparently they lot cops were also very restrictive on how many spaces tailgaters can use. This could be an interesting season in the parking lots...
The new restrictions will last a couple of weeks and then things will return to normal. Wait and see. . .
they do it in the presason because theres so many clueless virgin fans....once the veterans return for the regular season like romey said all will be well
lets hope so....
Price was $20 to park at the Wac Friday night and they did have Cops (real ones not the rent-a-type) patroling and telling people they couldn't take up 10 spots with lawn chairs. I got there around 6 and there was plenty of parking. We'll see how it is come the first home game, I get out of class at 3 then we're heading down.
i agree with the lawn chair thing...that is ridiculous where we park...this one group brings yellow DOT cones and literally saves upwards of 25 spots
We got into a fight a hour before kick off with some icehole a few years back who was saving 5 spaces with orange cones and lawn chairs. I eventually ran over his cone then told him to call security if he thought I was being unreasonable. Only drawback to that was I had to worry about him farging with my truck.
Frankly, I think it should be simple: You pay per spot.
Of course, if they were charging everyone for the number of spots they took up already, they wouldn't have to jew up the price.

I remember a bunch of parking nazis coming around during the playoffs a few years back. They were threatening us with having to pay for the extra spaces we used. We decided it was worth the money (via a group collection) should they decide to enforce it.
If they get pissy this year, maybe I'll ask the entrance attendant if I can buy an extra space (at $20...choke, cough)...and get an extra receipt.

What time are you fargers getting there? We'll be there around 3
noon
i'm selling my tickets
no...that would be the only reason to go
I'll be there....gotta see one before I go to Houston.
good idea...farging sellout
Yeah, I know. But this time its worth selling out for. This just means I go to Dallas every year. And I'll get to piss on the new Texas Stadium when it opens up.
how far from dallas will you be?
about 3 hours...
The one good thing about Houston is I'm about 3 hours from Dallas, about 3 hours from where I lived before and about 3 hours from my boy in San Antone.
So I'll be able to go to Dallas to see the Flyers...and also see the Phils and Sixers in Houston too.

Maybe one of you fine gents can lawn chair me a spot till we get there
My flight arrives at 11:40 on Monday. I suspect we'll be arriving sometime shortly thereafter.
Hopefully that horse's ass buddy of mine will be on time this time.
I'll be there in spirit! And drunk for real!
In a sick, twisted way, I still sort of wish I was in NC so that I could drive up for the game.
Imagine if man had created a technology that would allow a person to get anywhere within the continental United States in six hours or less.

Good luck with that. Apparently they are cracking down on such things...so an early arrival would be a good thing.
I have class till 3 so getting there before that is a no go. If they are crackin down on the saving spots thing than getting a spot won't be difficult.
I'm parking wherever I can find a spot. I'm not getting into a hassle with those dopes at the Wach. lot. If they let me park along the fence by Die Hard & group, fine. If not, no big deal.
if youre not a person bringing tailgating supplies/equipment then who the hell cares where you have to park...park where you can then walk over to where your tailgate is
ill be watching this one at the office. unless uncle igy gets me a ticket in which case i will tell them to lick my balls.

If you get there too late there's no spots regardless of how much you drive around the Wac - otherwise I agree.
there are other lots at the sports complex
not with IGY's tailgate in them
I choose not to acknowledge them
thats cause they dont exist

Even if it is, that's still $40 less than what we paid for parking in DC last year........which was still further away from the stadium than the Wach lot.
Still sucks if it is though.

btw ive been reading the tailgating thread on the emb and its getting me a little worried
why
a guy was telling stories about how strict the enforecement was at the preseason games,...and some other poeple have said its def going to continue into the regular season...i dont believe it but if def has my attention now...whereas before i was like whatever
check it out for yourself
Getting information from the EMB, especially the hysterical paranoids who reside in the ticket forum, isn't the best way to go, my caucasian brotha.
;)
I'm telling you, the lot situation will relax as the season wears on. It always does.
i dont care about the season...i care about monday...and the information over there is first hand from the preseason...it was real...doesnt mean thats whats gonna happen monday but it also doesnt mean it wont
Preseason tailgating isn't real.
just the first page is scary...no setting up tables? what the farg is that?
plus, you can immediately tell the difference between fans who tailgate and fans who don't.

I usually park in the lot at the Linc for Phils games and a couple games I was at they were enforcing the no tables rule.

They did enforce it in the preseason games, I wouldn't doubt them being iceholes about it Monday to try to set an early example. The game I was at the cone/lawn chair thing was a no no, didn't see them asking anyone to move their table or take down their tents.
i dont have a problem with the cone lawnchair thing....there are complete idiots that get out of control with that...in fact right behind where we tailgate...against the black iron fence in the wock lot is a group who literally puts out 20+ cones to save spots...it farging pisses me off and im as pro tailgating as it gets....
what should be allowed tho is a space or two for a tent grill chairs ect...to me this isnt a save spots issue its a tailgating issue...
tailgating is a national pastime at football games saving parking spots is not

Evidently not. The bullshtein whining you've done in this thread is akin to some rich farg complaining about dryrot in their oceanfront mansion. It's a goddamn tailgate, IGY.
romey...i'm surprised, i thought you would understand.
when breaking down a gameday experience, it's: tailgate 60%, game 40% sometimes even more towards the tailgate end depending on how the season is going
you come to one game a year and arrive whenever you feel like it to a tailgatwe all set up for you
i am repsonsible for finding and saving spaces then setting up for upwards of 20 people a week
shocking that the level of worry would be different for us
I'm just as happy with a beach chair and a cooler of beer as I am with Filet Mignon & drinks with tiny umbrellas in them.
I just want to see my friends, hang out, shoot the shtein and flirt with all the message board chicks. Is that so awful?
i rest my case...in other words you have zero responsibilities and no one depending on you monday
i don't understand the sudden need to have strict rules in the parking lot.
it's not like things in that parking lot were out of control last year, as far as i could tell.
its never been out of control and no one in the history of the sports complex has even driven down and not gotten a parking spot....if this is all true (and hopefully it isnt) im not exactly sure whats behind it...its definitely being driven by the eagles tho and it has nothing to do with the actual spaces
Quote from: ice grillin you on September 12, 2007, 08:52:39 PM

Other than coming over to your tailgate and giving you the biggest hug (non-homo) of your life, no.
Bro, all I'm saying is stressing out over it isn't going to make things better. Call your fellow tailgaters and tell them the situation. If they're at all aware of the situation, I'm sure they'll make the best of it. I mean, what other choice to any of us have?
PS: I was tailgating when you were in grammar school. I love it just as much as anyone here. If I didn't, would I fly two thousand miles in 24 hours to come up there? The game's on television, after all.
i never questioned how much you like tailgating or how long youve done it
i was pointing out the difference in why you could care less if these rules get enforced and why i might be a little worried
i cant imagine how the guys who have way bigger tailgates than any of us are feeling
They're probably shteinting their pants right now. The thing I can't understand is how are they going to enforce these rules uniformly through 28,000 parking spaces?
Moreover, if the Eagles are behind this, why would they even bother? What do they care if people get together and party before the game? I'm not saying they're not behind it, of course, it just seems like the stench of this is eminating more from center city than south Philly.
the reason i believe the eagles are behind it is because i know several people who have called the eagles and the response they get is 'the rules have always been in place'
not 'we dont know why this is happening' or 'so and so is enforcing this we have nothing to do with it'

Actually, last year vs the giants. All the lots were closed before noon and traffic was at a standstill all over the place.
I left king of prussia at 10:00am...and I just barely got into the stadium for opening kickoff, and I was on backroads and then sitting in the middle of Packer Ave for 90 minutes while the attendants tried to figure out what to do. I eventually got to a cross street where i shot up to Oregon Ave to take the subway.
I actually sent MURP 2 text messages, the first saying I was about 10 minutes away...the second (almost 2 hours later) apologizing for not making it.
all the lots were not closed...the wachovia lot was...it always takes a long time to get in if you come to late...but theres never not parking spaces available in the complex somewhere

I'm telling you, all the offical lots were full.
You can say they were open, but the fact remains that the lots were full last year for the giants game.
I wasn't even trying to get into the Wachovia center lot...I was stuck on Packer ave trying to get to the lots behind Citizens Bank Park.
was another event taking place at the same time?
Also - doesn't Spectacor control the Wach lots? The Eagles have about 2500 parking spaces in the Linc lot and that's all they control.
Quote from: Jerome99RIP on September 12, 2007, 09:29:40 PM

I don't remember actually. I just know the lots were full and people were forced out of them.
The only other game I went to (Carolina) I took the train down.
I think a prudent thing to do would be to have someone who knows someone in the media (Ruben Frank maybe) give them a call and get to the bottom of things. There's so many indians involved here with the Eagles, Spectacor & the Phillies, it would be nice to know EXACTLY who is in charge of enforcing the parking policies. If it's the cops, fine, get the chief of police to make a statement. If it's City Hall, get one of those clowns to comment on it.
Someone's got to be the head man in charge of that mess. Get those lazy reporters off their fat asses and tell them to get cracking.

There's speculation that they desire to draw more people into their paid "tailgate" experience before the game.

There's something like that in the works. Not Frank...but somebody in the media.
From what I know, the Eagles establish policy, pass it down to Comcast-Spectacor, who contracts out to Central Parking, who administers and enforces the policies. So what you get is a long chain of finger pointing and deniability if there are any problems. Ultimately it lies with the Eagles, and that's where the questions are being asked. If it comes back that there is no change in tailgating policy, I don't see anything different happening come game day.

if thats even 1% true then its beyond disgusting....way worse than hoagiegate
Sure is combined with the fact they just raised the parking prices. Thats not to complain about the price since its on par with other venues just to say charging more then enforcing rules that weren't in place before seems fishy.
i agree it sure does look shady...i just cant believe even banner and lurie would go that far
also isnt the eagles tailgate party like $225 per person

see even if you eliminated tailgating across the board i dont see the attendence at that tailgate thing going up
number one its for people who dont have a ticket and number 2 the cost eliminates 95% of the fans
the eagles may be behind the tailgate enforcement thing but i dont think its to attract more people to the tailgate party
in general, it just seems like the eagles are trying to do in the parking lots what they are succeeding with in the stadium, cleaning up the riffraff so their upper crust fans have a more enjoyable experience
yeah i agree with that.....what youve had all offseason and over the past several years is calls from angry old men haters who complain about things like drinking in the parking lots people being loud people saving spaces even tho there are still spots available
theres actually a douchebag on the eagle board that was complaining about "the lot being trashed" from tailgaters

That douchenozzle needs to be found, beaten, and thrown in the marsh behing IGY's tailgate
btw what they should do is designate the jetro and wachovia lots as tailgating lots...even charge more for them if need be...but let people know that anyone can park in there but if youre not a tailgater you may wanna go to another lot...
in the tailgating lots youd have more lax rules regarding saving and partying in extra parking spaces

And I wouldn't spend ten farging cents inside the stadium at this point. My tickets have increased from $45 in 1999 to $75 today. If they can't make a profit on that bit of ass raping, then farg them.
Haha. I see you've met midnight-green, IGY.
He's a piece of work, to be sure. It's amazing the number of topics he replies to in that forum.
hes a bonified douchebag...im hardly some crazy drunken lunatic at games but i cannot stand fans like him
The other idiot advocating the cops' handing out tickets and taking license plate numbers to be turned in to the Eagles is a bigger assclown.
I do my best to stay out of that forum because it's a waste of time trying to discuss things rationally there. Still, it's fun to enter and stir up the hornet's nest once in a while.

it was midnite green that first suggested a license plate database
yeah i realized after a while that theres no talking to people like them
Right - but Peete expanded the idea and then offered up the speeding ticket analogy which was an even bigger joke.
every spot that is being used for a table or chairs is $20 less the Eagles can steal. Get it !
lets see the rent a cops try and control the entire tailgate area.
remember that snow storm a few years back where you couldnt even see the parking space lines? remember how they couldnt even figure out how to get cars parked in a straight line. yeah. haha.

That's what I'm waiting to see. They'll have to enlist the National Guard to stop it all.

Luckily for the tailgaters, they're all in Iraq.

True, but I'm thinking they'll be targeting the bigger parties which is bad news for you guys, IGY, and, well, "us" even though I don't do much but show up and tell witty stories of living in the south.
we're not really a big party in the grand scheme of things in that lot
we use about 8 spaces max and usually there are only 3 empty during the tailgate and we fill them when we are done
From what I saw they left the big parties with tents etc. alone, probably knowing they have no control over that situation. Their focus was more on people taking up 3 to 4 spots with long tables set up for beer pong and people saving spots with cones/chairs.
oh...that sucks then
i think well be fine if we do what i mentioned on the other board and double park the first few cars that come...that way if any douchey parking guards come over we can say these cars are for these spots (the ones well be tailgating in)
my fear is that they will then say double parking is not allowed
Anyone trying to curb beerpong should be forced to cash in their ballsacks and live the remainder of their pathetic lives as women.
if you just drove these...then you'd have plenty of room

i'd also be queer, and not like football
Problem solved?
certainly seems that way
That car looks like it could use some HGH.
i'll be there monday. what is all the tailgate talk about, aside from being lazy and reading several pages back, have they outlawed partying in the lots?

Yes.
Well, it wasn't as bad as I feared, but the rules are in place...they just didn't enforce them very well. Maybe someday they will don the jackboots and work over the fans, but not this week.
Good seeing everybody this week. Good luck in Houston, Phreak!

Urban Warrior | TAIL-SPIN: WHO'S RIGHT?
By Chris Brennan
FORGET THE Eagles vs. the taterskins. The big battle down at the South Philadelphia sports complex last night pitted the Eagles against Comcast-Spectacor.
The Eagles, upset about my column yesterday, now claim that changes proposed to limit tailgating did not come from them.
The changes, which took effect Aug. 1, include an increase from $11 to $20 for parking and a ban on buying extra spaces to set up grills, tables and tents.
Mark Donovan, the Eagles senior vice president of business operations, last night said the team "objected" to those changes while meeting with officials from the city and Comcast-Spectacor over the last few months to discuss the new parking/tailgating policy.
"We don't control this," Donovan said. "We are in favor of tailgating in every shape or form."
Those objections came as news to John Page, chief operating officer for Global Spectrum, which oversees parking at the Wachovia Center and the Spectrum.
"That certainly isn't the case," Page said when I told him of Donovan's comments last night. "All throughout this process, there's been nothing but mutual agreement on everything."
Page said the only change the Eagles asked for in the new policy involved how to charge for parking recreational vehicles. One proposal said if an RV took up four spaces, which now sell for $20 each, then the fee should be $80. The Eagles, Page said, asked that the fee for RVs be limited to $40.
The owner of the lot keeps $11 from the $20 parking fee, while the Eagles get $9, Page said. When the parking fee was $11, the lot owners kept all of it.
Page added that if the Eagles want to undo the tailgating policies, all they have to do is ask. The Eagles, he said, have considerable sway in the debate because the tailgating policy involves the team's home games.
"In this case, everybody's been in agreement," Page said. "We're up for anything."
Page did ask to clarify something he told me last week, when he described the changes as an "Eagles initiative." He now says it was a collaborative effort.
Mayor Street's spokesman, Joe Grace, yesterday had a third take on the new policy: There is no new policy, he said. Grace said the "stakeholders" in the sports complex - the sports teams, Comcast-Spectacor, the city - have not reached any final decisions on parking and tailgating.
"It just hasn't happened yet," Grace said. "Clearly, there are discussions going on down there."
So here we have two multimillion-dollar corporations pointing fingers at each other while fans fume in the parking lot and the city's not choosing sides. Whom do you believe?
Consider this: I had three conversations last week with Bonnie Grant, director of communications for the Eagles. At no point did Grant ever say the Eagles objected to the policy changes.
The first time we spoke, Grant said she didn't know about the changes. She called back a day later to confirm that they were happening as part of a collective effort by the Eagles, the city and Comcast-Spectacor.
She also described the changes as a way to efficiently manage traffic, getting more cars into the lots earlier. And she said the team appreciates the tradition of tailgating.
I had two conversations with Grant yesterday. Again, she never claimed that the Eagles objected to any of the changes. She did, however, seem surprised when I told her that drivers were handed fliers describing the changes as they rolled into Comcast-Spectacor lots yesterday afternoon.
Those fliers told tailgaters they had to confine their parties to 4 1/2 feet behind their parked vehicles while keeping the driving lanes clear. That's what the policy looked like on paper.
Down in the shadow of the stadium, something very different was going on. People with tables, tents and grills set up in parking spaces were told occasionally by parking-lot attendants that they had to break camp.
But nobody did. And the party kept going strong.
"They can't mess with an institution like this, no matter what they say," said Tom Masticola, of Chester, who was tailgating with friends with a tent set up in a parking space.
Mike Henkel and 30 buddies also set up tables, a tent and a grill in a parking space after paying for nine cars. When an attendant said the tent had to go, Henkel gave him $20 to keep the space.
"It's worth it," Henkel said. *
I didn't see any changes as far as tailgating goes, we got there at 4 and drove around the wac/spectrum for 30 minutes looking for a spot. I might get down there early for Sunday's game and save a bunch of spots, then sell them to people who get there late.
Thanks Sus. Good to see you again.
It was good seeing everyone again. It had been awhile since I was down there. I think I should stop attending NFC East games. Last one was when McNabb tore his groin.
MDS...where the hell were you? I thought you bought a ticket?
he talks big, but he'll never man up and come down and see everyone
pretty sure hes never been to a sporting event
or a vagina
ha.
i was at work for what i thought would be the entire game, but i got out at halftime. i spent the second half at home scaring everyone in my house by simultaneously screaming and cursing at the eagles and phillies.
i should be able to get my hands on tickets to one game, but i dont know when.
i had to work and didnt get down until after 7. as soon as i rolled into the Wach lot there were 4 cop cars blazing through the middle of the tailgate to go arrest. Ha.
