Tailgate info

We are going to have Jon Russell BBQ shipped to us overnight. They have 4 locations in the KC metro area. We used them for the Tampa game tailgate. Everyone raved about their meat. The burnt ends especially.

The total will be $575. This price includes shipping. The shipment will feed 60 people. He will ship burnt ends, pork, sausage and beans. Last time we had a bunch of BBQ left after the tailgate. We munched on it after the game while traffic cleared out.

I've got a hotel room with an oven. I’ll have them ship it overnight to the hotel in dry ice. I'll heat the Q up and bring to the tailgate. It was fantastic BBQ last time. No sauce needed. I'll get some Paper plates, utensils, napkins etc and bring to the tailgate. You bring whatever cold beverages work best for you and or the family.

You want in? Let me know how many. $10 bucks a head. If you want extra or have buddies showing up in Miami but not sitting with us but would like to tailgate with Chief fans, let me know.

We have 45 tickets sitting with us. That leaves an additional 15 spots at $10 bucks a head. I think we will have an additional 15 Chief fans join our tailgate but ya never know.

First 60 to get the money to me get to chow down on genuine KC BBQ in Miami. We are cutting it off at 60 to make sure everyone has plenty.

PayPal me the money. Remember to use the give money to a friend option to avoid the fees.

Jon Russel’s Website is here. www.jonrussellsbbq.com

They don't have electronic delivery of the parking tickets. Too many people are worried about snail mail delivery of the parking tickets. I've talked to my Miami Dolphins account guy and here's what we are going to do.

We are going to have to move the tailgate to the cash lot. It's the one on the left hand side of the map at the corner of NW 205th street and NW 27th street/universitry labeled "cash" on the map. It's still in the main Dolphins parking lot and on the side of the stadium where our seats are located. The Dolphins guy says we should have no issues getting into that lot if we are there when it opens and we can park anywhere we want to in that lot for the first hour.

There is a WalMart about 4-5 blocks from where we will tailgate. Looks like a good place to pick up tailgating supplies, sun screen etc.The address is 19501 NW 27th ave Mami Gardens, Florida. 33056. We will meet in the parking lot nearest the 27th street road and closest to the stadium. We will leave there together at 12:00 to get in line for the parking lot.

I still only have about 1/2 the group signed up for BBQ. You want to do your own thing thats cool, but if you do want to have the BBQ, let me know ASAP.


· Kickoff is at 4:25 PM. Parking lots open 4 hours before game time.
· We need volunteers to meet up outside the stadium before the gates open at 11:45 am. We will them drive in together when the gates open to ensure we have enough space to tailgate together.
· The orange lots (which are pre-paid and require passes) are the best for tailgating. You can get -7-10 vehicles together before going in to park, and then park all of them side by side so that you can tailgate behind all the vehicles rather than just one. We will have an 8'x10' spot behind each vehicle in our section for tailgating. With 7-10 vehicles together, you have a 80' x 10' tailgating spot. I’ll have the Arrowhead South banner with us.
· Anyone who arrives within the first hour get to choose where they want to park while all others after that will be directed where to park by parking attendants
· The parking map is here: http://www.sunlifestadium.com/wp-con...arking_new.jpg
· Our group is sitting in the corner between A-H on the stadium map.
· The proposed tailgating address is Carl F Barger Boulevard Miami Gardens, FL 33056 or 20087-20213 Northwest 27th Avenue Miami Gardens, FL 3305
· Anyone who arrive within the first hour get to choose where they want to park while all others after that will be directed where to park by parking attendants.

Tell him you want to sit with the Chief fans in Section 110. He should give you the same rate. He can check if there is anything close to us. I'm sure there is, we just bought today.

I'll update the tailgate location when we get closer to the game.

I heard from Dan today. We had another two people get tickets with our group. We are up to 50 Chief fans all sitting together now.

It's going to be a blast. If the ration of fans in our group vs. who tailgates with us remains the same, I would not be surprised to to have 100-200 people Chief fans at the tailgate.

[TimeForWasp]

Gonna get there on the 19th early. I'm going to just ride city transit around and check out key west and other places around and just grab a cheap motel room here and there on a whim. This is gonna be great.

[TimeForWasp]

Getting excited about this.

I have long lay overs in Denver both ways.
Who wants to have a drink in Denver?

We are exploring group rates on hotels. We also have 50 Cowboy tickets to decide what we want to do with those tickets.

We have many of us that are going down early and staying after the game.

[ThaVirus]

I really want to do this but that's like a 4 hour drive.

.... I should really stop being such a little bitch.

But that is a long ass drive though..

[BigRedChief]

We have had one our ticket holders get roped into a wedding on this weekend, He needs to sell his 2 tickets. Anyone want to sit with our group? Want additional tickets with our group?
