Frimp, I may be interested in joining you in ATL for one of those games IF and only IF it doesn't interfere with a Dolphins game and you don't mind. I don't miss Dolphins games (live or on TV)
.
I actually went to see the Saints in Atlanta when Ricky was there because I had this feeling he would be a Dolphin one day. I'm serious. OK, maybe the feeling was that I was hoping
. The rivalry between those two teams is great. The stadium was packed with Saints fans. Katrina may have changed that situation a good bit. Tickets are tough to get for that game. I imagine Dallas won't be easy either.
The Falcons sold out all games last year in about 9 minutes once they went on sale individually. Michael Vick brings in the fans for sure in the ATL. You better be fast on those tix.
I am definitely putting together a big event for the Vikings game. Hotel rates are up in November down in S FL, but I finally found a workable place and it's on Fort Lauderdale Beach. It's not a cheap package, but it's a heck of a value. Great seats, 2 nights hotel on the beach, transfers, parties with former players and one current player (TBD), tailgate party, and more. I can work with people though if they have a place to stay already, or tickets, etc. I'll post the info once I finalize it. I'm trying to find some ways to reduce the cost right now, but it's tight. Nothing is real cheap in South Florida
.
If anyone is interested, I already have an event set up for the Bills game. It doesn't feature all the same things as the Vikes game will, but it's still nice. $250 less per couple than the company that does these type of things for every game!

I usually don't separate that out solo, but on this one I really just wanted to get a group together so we could have a good party. If I get enough people, I may get a current player instead of just alums.
GO PHINS!!!
