I am completely aware that I'm a rookie when it comes to this form but Ive been a season ticket holder for 6 years. In the past 8 years that Ive been going to games, my crew and I show up on average 6 hours early. We started in P11 (across from stadium) and the Kraft bought it 2 seasons ago. Thats when the limit on how early you could show up started effecting us (4 hours).
From there, we worked our way down Rt 1 towards 495 until we were finally settled on a place where we could show up as early as we wanted to.
For a 1PM game, we cook breakfast at 7:30 (eggs, bacon, steak, hash browns, etc) and go strait to apps (scallops wrapped in bacon, stuffies, steak tips, oysters, stuffed shimp, etc).
Every game, we try to do something different. Last year we did a clam bake, lobster day, pig roast, or something else fun. We bring generators, lights, hot dog machine, kareoke, heaters, tents and walls. It doesnt get better. We also burn a banner of the opposing team.
Now... to tell me that you can accomplish all of this fun in two hours is CRAZY.
Different strokes for different folks I guess but easy on calling out people who enjoy the art of tailgating.
You, sir, know how to have fun!
Congratulations, welcome to the board and I wish you and your friends a safe, happy and triumphant season.
