How many folks here are planning on going to the Spring Game?

[Scooch]

I'll be there. It'll be nice to finally see some football this spring. I have the itch.

That's not uncommon for seniors. There's a cream you can use to get rid of it.

Never been to one but the added draw on the Lax game (also never been) prior as well as the mystery surrounding this years team really has me considering it. May take a bit of convincing to Mrs IO to come up from PA since our son will be 7 weeks old (obviously wouldn't be taking him to the game) but it also falls 2 days prior to my birthday and with family in Bingo I may able to pull it.

My questions would be; how many board members here plan on attending? and does anyone do a Spring Game tailgate where I would have a chance to meet and share a few pregame beers with some of the board faithful? Been invited to the Fine lot prior but on gamedays I'm a Skytop dweller coming in from Bingo.

I plan on attending with my wife. Been away from board awhile. Where is the tailgate? Thanks in advance.

Mackey will be the one with the ball between his legs.

So either you're a Doctor or his girlfriend to know that personal info.

Don't let that stop you. My wife and I "accidentally" brought our 3-week old baby to the season opener in 1983. (Ugly win over Kent State with 5 field goals and one touchdown). Our rendevous with friends in Syracuse didn't work out, so we all ended up going to the game.

So did you stuff your kid under your jacket to avoid having to buy an extra ticket?

BTW, to answer long time poster OrangeTim (BTW, welcome back)

I expect a tailgate at the corner of Henry and Raynor in the Fine Lot. Most likely a BYOB and BYOF affair but expect grills and coolers.

In those days they didn't make an issue about infants. But, in later years I really pushed the issue by carrying my 5-year old into the Dome. I guess I ruined it for everybody!

Soccer and baseball tie up Saturdays unfortunately for the next 10 weeks. Wish I could go.

I plan on being there. Anyone know what the cost is? I went last year for the first time but don't remember how much I paid.

 

[rocklloyd]

It's free. At least that's what my memory tells me. You guys have my questioning it.

 

[Dmcnabbrules]

Parking and the game were free last year.
