We would probably bring our generator like we do for comps.

i might be able to bring my Pro down there if you bring a generator.

What time would the festivities begin?  What time would we start setting up?

It is a 6pm game.  We would want to have everything back in truck by 5:30.  It will probably be an all day event for us.  We will probably get up, have breakfast and go out some where around the motel parking lot set up.  I would think we will be all set up by Noon...we have nothing else to do but sit around, cook food (if you bring a pit) and drink Gatorade and Ice Tea!  But we can always just have sandwiches and sides if it is a pain!

I see the average temperature on September 8th is 75°...I guarantee, with us coming, never fails, the record for that day is 99°, I assure you it will be 100° that day!  If it really is 75°, it is gonna be a party day!

There is no such thing as a bad day when hanging out with BBQ buds. Just that some days are better than others.

i am going to cancel out on bringing my Pro down but will bring a dish to pass instead.
Perhaps someone with a smaller grill can bring theirs?

No need for pit.  To much hassle for anyone...My uncles have a small charcoal square unit that will fit in truck.  Will bring it and if wee really need flame it will do!

Memphis could get a bit of exposure (advertising) if they had a pit there.  They're fairly local.

We are ordering our tickets today.  Going to splurge and spend more than we normally would to get better seats.  We figured if we are traveling this far (and I don't think FSU will be playing anywhere close to us for several years so might be last game for a while), we would get a bit closer to the action!!!

Tickets bought, so as long as the Mississippi does not flood we are Golden!

75% of the people attending own one!  Now the AR is another story!

Unfortunately, I will not be able to join you on this day.  It turns out that I will be traveling myself that weekend and will not be in the area.  I will be there with you in spirit!

   I meant the other tailgaters in the area, not your companions.

Probably will just have to be cold stuff, maybe freshly made off the tailgate of the truck.  Maybe a few loaves of good french bread (with some of the inside bead pulled out) filled with various meats and cheeses, lettuce, tomato, etc.  You just cut off what you want.  A few salads.  Something sweet. I will have to give it a bit more thought.

I will swing by Costco on my way over and pick up various and sundry chips and snacks.

Hi all,
For anyone interested in MN area, you can get some heavily discounted or free tickets to this game via a Red Baron pizza offer going on.
I just secured two tickets.
I'll try and stop by to say hi at least.

I will ask this again before we leave next week, but we would like to get a head count if you wanna eat.  We dont mind having food there, but dont want to have to deal with a bunch of left overs.

Also, if you wanna sit, bring a chair and BYOB...Have decide we will be there from 1-5 since it is a 6pm game!
