Greeting Pats fans! I'm from Pennsylvania and I'm taking my girlfriend to a Pats game on Dec. 17th at Gillette! I can't say I'm a huge Pats fan (sorry....I was born and raised in Steeler country), but my girlfriend is a huge fan, and it's been a long-time dream of hers to go to a game at Foxboro. I'm excited to be a part of all of this as well, and am really looking forward to a trip to the Boston area! I just have a few quick question I thought maybe you fine people might be able to help me out with. First, since it will be the Christmas season when we're in town, is there anything that we should be sure to check out while we're in the area? We're hoping to make a weekend of it, so we'll have a little time to kill before sunday afternoon. I've never been to Boston at Christmas time, so not sure if there's any "must-see" things going on at that time.

Second, we'd sure like to find a cool group of people to do a little tailgating with, and was wondering what the pre-game partying is like at Foxboro? Will we be able to find some people to hang with prior to kick-off? If anyone from these boards are going to that game and have any suggestions on where to get our pre-game "warm-up" in, I'd really appreciate it!

One more thing....our tickets are in section 214. What's the view like from this area? Will we be able to see the players, or should we bring a good set of binoculars?

Looking forward to visiting your hometown stadium! Let's hope the Pats kick some ***** (especially since my Steelers are lookin rough this year)! Thanks in advance for any replies!

#1- seats aren't bad at all

#2- Steelers s#$#

#3- Post a picture of your girl, if she passes the muster, do yourself a favor and stay home, we'll take care of the rest.

LOL. Yea, I expected some jabs about the Steeler subject. You can say they suck if you want......I think the way they're playing right now makes them fit that description. No arguments from me. But I'm a true fan, so I'll stick by them. Kinda like you probably stuck by the Pats last year (cough). Hey, what can ya do?! I don't hate the Pats, they're just not my team. The game in Foxboro will still be an awesome time, I'm sure. I love the GAME, so it's all good.

So....anyway. Anything I should hit up while I'm in Boston? We'll probably be lookin for a "watering hole" saturday night. And of course we'll be lookin for some pre-game tailgating action. Let me know if you have any suggestions.


Oh, and by the way.....I'm taking her to a freakin PATS game! In her eyes, that puts me right up there with GOD (or Tom Brady). She'll probably think I can walk on water. I'm golden buddy! Of course, she wouldn't touch a PSU fan with a ten foot pole anyway. Hahahaha.

P-E-N-N-S-T SUCKS!

Go PITT!

Yea, you get major points for this expedition... she must be someone worthwhile to make such an noble and gentlemenly gesture.

I'd make sure to hit the Fanuel Hall area at dusk. A few watering holes there to warm you up, plus they do a nice job of christmas lighting etc.

For the game, make sure your girl has some of those hand/foot warmer packs!

Fanuel Hall, huh? Awesome! I'll definitely check that out. Oh, and I'm sure she'll be well stocked with hand and foot warmers! It gets plenty cold down here in PA, so I think we can handle it. Could be pretty chilly though in mid-December! But hey.....that's all part of the experience, right?!

Thanks for the link! I checked out their site, and they look like a fun crew. Might have to look them up!
