Okay, with the loss of another great CPer and Nzoner on the mend, there are several mentions of needing to get together. I am asking for feed back.
I work Saturdays, but am open to a Saturday night or Sunday pre-pregame.
I am not as wealthy as some here and live in a little 3 bedroom ranch hovel in Raytona beach with an average sized, but beautiful back yard. It's about 7 miles from the stadium. I offer my humble abode or a local park shelter.
My home has advantages. BIG grill. Bigger than Shannon Sharps grill! And of course, you could feel free to imbibe your BYOB (due to not wanting to be responsible for any one drinking and driving).
Park shelter would offer anonymity, you could byob just use a solo, but historically a small grill or my portable small grill.
I am looking for interest? Preferred day of event (given Sunday game)? Preferred venue?
Any other input would be appreciated. It's just time that we get together. [Reply]

Schedule comes out in about a week or so.
Also, Burt, if you don't want a bunch of strangers milling around your house, we could pick a park in Raytown, or I have a friend named Matt Mallinson who has a Winery and Party Room in Sugar Creek. Somewhere like that would be OK too. We'd just need to buy the beer and wine from his place.
I know some of us out of town 2-3 hours + season ticket holders give away our Preseason tix to friends and fam and may not be down until the reg season. That shouldn't stop anything though, but the schedule might dictate when it comes out next week if there is a good opportunity. [Reply]
True. But if you're taking people that are kind of "meh" about the game they're great just for a taste of the experience. I'm not spending a shit load of money to take my 10 year old to a game when he's going to be more amazed by the stadium than what's going on on the field.
I took my oldest to a regular season game when he was 12. Little shithead took a nap because he was bored.
Point being, not everyone is a diehard fan and as much as I hate preason they're still great for a "social" event. [Reply]
