Please pin this.

Ms Frimp and I have decided to go to Detroit for Thanksgiving for the Phins/Lions game. We have plenty of time to plan, but tickets will be going on sale before too long, and it would be best to get the tickets together so that we can all be in the same section. Tailgate after the game...Wings, and turkey!  Smiley

Should be a blast!

Who's on board?

That would be up to you and Dave.  I'm sure the guys in the Northeast (Philly, Tony) and the Midwest (Lil B) won't have much trouble.

Nope. Can't do it.

Should we start taking up the "send LilB to florida for a game" charity fund?

No way the family let's me loose for that game  Cheesy.  But, it sure sounds fun for those of you who can make it.

I am definitely putting together something for a home game this year (probably Vikings) if anyone is interested.  Unless the date is a problem (Christmas Eve for example), I am going to do an event for the Texans game that will be large and in charge.  If any of you are interested, just let me know.  The Texans game deal will be out of control if all goes well.   We are talking over 150 dolfans sitting together on the Dolphins sideline! 

I sent Frimp some info on the Lions ticket option for groups.  You will probably have to go to Ticketmaster and try to buy as many as you can together.  I'm not sure if they have a max or not for Lions games?

I was planning on getting tickets on a credit card..kind of like a conference call type of thing. I'm sure we could do that through Ticketmaster...Right?

Doug, the Vikings game sounds good.  I think Dolfan-UK is coming across the pond for that game.

Lil B - that'd be the game to target if you can! Wink

I'm trying to plan it,so I can meet up with as many people as possible...I'm hoping a trip AZ,Philly,CF,UK_Dolfan,and Dolfan UK...I'm also hoping for like a week in Miami...I've never been to Florida,so I don't want to just fly in for the game and Fly home the next day....

Should we start taking up the "send LilB to florida for a game" charity fund?

nope, Grin but thank you...(I'm hoping to use a piece of my Grandpas inheritance  to pay for the trip.)

Frimp and I plan to do the Wing Ding again at the Buffalo game... and if so, we'll bring the owner of L-Woods pub in Hilton Head (He's a big Bills fan).

I can't make it to the Detroit game this year, unfortunately.  I am going to the Houston game, though.  I also have the Miami Dolphins cornhole goals for any home tailgating.

We should at least make it a big event. I know several people have wanted to get B to a game.

I am goiong to be out for Thanksgiving as well.

Frimp, the amount of tickets will probably have a max.  But, you could buy a set of say 8 (if that's the max) and then turn around and buy another set and the odds are good they will be near each other.  Make sure you have a deposit from people before you charge a bunch of tix.  Some people seem to disappear when it's time to actually pay and you could get stuck with tix. 

Vikings with some UK guys would be nice.  The Culpepper drama with the media would be huge.  I'd love to see him light them up like Marino did the Pats when he came back from the achilles.

Was dropping in and noticed this, so I thought I'd give you guys a heads up. For those that have never been to Detroit before, Ford Field is litteral right next door to Comerica Park, where the Tigers play their home games. It's also across the street from the Fox Theatre. The closest hotels I know of are in Dearborn, my home town. If you practice a little due dilligence, I'm sure you can find out where the Fins players are staying, but I would almost be willing to bet it'll be either the Dearborn Hilton or Dearborn Hyatt.

Phone contact info for Lions ticket office: (313)262-2003
E-mail contact info for Lions ticket office:  lionstix@detroitlions.com

They don't start selling individual ticket until the league releases the full schedule, so the wait won't be terrible. The average ticket price is $35-45, but will probably be close to a hundred if you decide you want to buy first row fifty yard line seat. The cheapest that I've heard of are the endzone tickets, which came in at around $20 last season, although that might have climbed slightly. If you go for the endzone tickets, I'd recommend a good pair of binoculars so you can clearly see the player when they're on the other side of the field.

I'll be at the game myself, so there's a possibility we might run into each other. If you arrive early, contact me if you want some recommendations for things to do or need directions on how to get around; although your hotel would probably be able to do a better job than I about giving driving directions.
