DUDE! Awesome idea, I'm not a morning person but I think that would definately be worth getting up that early for. I say we invent the FIRST tailgaters league right here and now, and have teams sign up to throw these bashes wherever possible. I also think that we could have mini competitions outside, for best torque and so on. Great idea, if it happens, I'll be there.

Man oh man that would be so funny to do at the Annapolis regional! I'd love to see the look on the Naval Academy people's faces. HAHA! What a sight...I can see it now. It'll most likely be cold here..but I can see everyone in hawaiian t-shirts/team shirts and shorts, running around goofing off during break...throwing frisbees, playing tag..ROFL perfect. :-D

I'm sure there are some grills & bebeque places in Metro Atlanta that would be willing to help sponsor this with good food, but catering food to the parking lot might get on FIRST's nerves, so a power breakfast in Centennial Olympic Park might be better (of course it might be more funjust to cook it all ouerselves, but we'll give the tailgaiting breakfast a trial run when I see you in Gwinnett on March 19)).
Your on! I'll talk to the rest of the team and see what else we can put together!

We will be at Chicago again this year and the Championship and I am thinking of planning a FIRST massive tailgate.

Think of it. Grills, lawn chairs, breakfast drinks and a bunch of crazy FIRSTers tailgating at 6:00am on Saturday morning. I am seriously thinking about planning something for Chicago and, if that goes well, the Championship.

What does everyone think of this idea?

If I were coming man, I'd bring some of my aunt's rib sauce and ribs. You could live off that rib sauce!!!

This sounds like an awesome idea. If you go ahead with it for nationals, Team 237 would LOVE to join.

Paul, I think that is a wonderful idea.....too bad we'll be in Richmond and not Chicago.
We'll join you in Richmond, Grundy. You guys bring the hot dogs, cus were giving you our extra shaft of gearstock. Whos got the foreman? We would in Annapolis too, but the naval acadamy probably wouldnt be to happy with us.

Sean, I've got a foreman, but it isn't what you use for tailgating. We need someone to bring a real grill. Plus, foremans aren't made big enough to cook for a team.

Re: FIRST Tailgating
 
The parking for the Academy was over at Navy and Marine Corps Memorial Stadium , a good place for a tailgate! I will do some research into tailgates there and report back...

We can use a real grill too, but foremans are for everything, even Krispy Kremes.... :p

Re: FIRST Tailgating
 
Before you think of all this for Nats, you need to find a place that will not make the venue upset. YOu cannot do it in Olympic Park, you will get thrown out. I really would recommend getting in touch with your regional coordinator before doing this. I'm not trying to be a spoil sport, it is a great idea, but FIRST works hard to get us those venues and we shouldn't try to cause trouble by not asking first. Just my thoughts. Actually I have already contacted the Peachtree Regional Coordinator to find out.

Re: FIRST Tailgating
 
Even though the regional is happening in late March I suspect that it will be too cold to tailgate outside in Cleveland (even though I am a veteran Bills fan and go to many games, I really don't get much into tailgating anyways. I still have nightmares from the San Deigo game in December a couple of years ago and how my feet felt like lead at the end of the game. Man, that was cold!).
