At the GLR that would rock! The entire town of Ypsi would wonder what was up. If i can, I will come, maybe with a big vat of chili or somthing. Ill talk to the rest of my team too.

Re: FIRST Tailgating
 

I'm sure Team #538 (and all of our other friends from Alabama) would be more than willing to join you guys at Peachtree. :D We have some moms on our team that are excellent at procuring things like meat, drinks, plates, napkins, etc.

I'll bring it up today at the meeting and see what I can come up with.

Are you guys far enough away to be getting a hotel? We're staying in the Courtyard Marriot off of Pleasant Hill Rd. (near Gwinett Place) ... and I was wondering if any other teams might be there.

Paul originally talked about Chicago - I think that's a great plan. There aren't a ton of places to eat around the university as it is (unless you want to take a hike for something other than hot dogs).

If you have it on ANY day, though, I would personally like to see something like this on Saturday before competition. Why? Because not only are you getting a bunch of the teams together on friendly ground for breakfast and a couple laughs, but maybe it'll take some of the tension away from the elimination rounds later that day. Although everyone is pretty wiped out on Saturday, I think it would work out best.

Oh yeah, and I'd be able to come, too. :)

I'd love to see if anyone could even survive Tailgating at GLR. Knowing Michigan (especially Ypsi) weather, it'd be 70 and sunny Saturday, and snowing Sunday...but it would be fun to see the whole EMU parking lot filled with smoke.

Re: FIRST Tailgating
 

Nope we all live just on the other side of town. Like maybie 30mins away from both the Civic Center & the Dome.

Re: FIRST Tailgating

Re: FIRST Tailgating
 

Count me in for tailgating @ the Manchester regional, I’ll try and convince the rest of my team into it

Re: FIRST Tailgating
 

Team 383 will be in Chicago and we're up to it! :D

Re: FIRST Tailgating

(sorry bout the late post)

Re: FIRST Tailgating
 

Whos up for Richmond? My team most likely is, at least all those who Ive talked to are. If we can get a good number of teams that would be amazing.

Re: FIRST Tailgating
 

Awsome idea!!! I'm up for it at all the Regionals I'm going too (Manch, Anna and Philly). But lets all pull the real-deal in Atlanta and fire up those grills!

Well for atlanta at least, lets also turn it into a 'beach party' and have volleyball nets up and bathing suits on :D

Lil' Lavery: "We would in Annapolis too, but the naval acadamy probably wouldnt be to happy with us."

Wetzel: "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..."


The naval academy does not allow tailgating, even at the stadium (unless there is football game). However, you may be able to ask for permission to tailgate at the stadium before the event.

Re: FIRST Tailgating
 

Chicago.. hmm... sounds good, if our team is up for it :D

Re: FIRST Tailgating
 

Dave here from 931 out of STL, we'll be at the chicago regional and the st. louis regional.
I think we'll be able to bring a grill to both but i will check and see
I know my family has a grill and trailer i dont know if we can tow it with the bus Depends on the weather
or as our School likes to call it "Inclement Conditions"
Anyway
I think i can bring a grill big enough for about 35-50 hot dogs at once, so if any teams want to participate all they would need is to bring the meat and we can grill it up
Also, bring sodas, and what not, like Amanda said Saturday is a good idea



For st. louis, are there any teams willing to do this?, there is LOTS of room at the Family Arena or we could meet at the nearest hotel, or whatever, we'll check into it, but are there anyteams that would like to do this at St. Louis also???, If so e-mail me

awsome...

Re: FIRST Tailgating
 

Team 1163 will be attending the Midwest regional and it sounds like a great idea. Since the Midwest doesn't have a social event this sounds like something that would be great for team spirit as well as a good social time for all concerned. We travel far but can pack needed items. I'm not sure about a grill (too messy) but we can always provide other amenities!
:)
