First, check out Razor's Edge Tailgate on Yahoo Groups. Join the group if you like.
Since this is Monday Night football, the game is of course at 8:20 and This change in time complicates lot access. Officially the lots open at 4:00 which we know usually means we are departing at 3:30. Invariably they open even earlier for evening games and I could see us leaving at 3:15 or even a bit earlier if the reports indicate the lot is already open. So our official rendezvous time is 3:00 and I realize that as a work night this may mean it is not possible or easy for some folks. As such I even more greatly appreciate the RSVP if you want us to give you a call or try and find you should we plan to leave and you are not yet there. This is such a big game I really expect that the traffic now impacted by a work week and game will be challenging and lots will fill fast. Also our Wicked lot is soon to become an Irish Pub and while construction/renovations are in process we may find soon that it impacts our rendezvous plans so be prepared with phone numbers and patience just in case!
As you all know by now, we rendezvous at the former Wicked restaurant parking lot on Route 1 in Sharon, located just after 95 intersects route 1. The address is officially:
973 Providence Hwy
Sharon, MA 02067
This lot has plenty of space and usually results in no pressure for us. There is a light to let us all emerge together and thus, usually, arrive together at our Lot 51 Destination.
I will have my cell on me as usual and the number is:
978 866 3580
For those intent upon Meeting at the Tailgate please realize that as we pre-rendezvous, it can mean you risk not being able to park with us. We do try and work it out but we absolutely do not want to create a negative impact with the lot staff and any saving of places can be detrimental to that goal. We work with them in as accomodating a fashion as possible and that includes the fellow tailgaters as much as possible.
Continue on Rt 1 S as you approach the stadium. Take entrance P10 (see Patriots.com Parking map) and park in Lot 51 as directed by the attendants. After parking, proceed up the aisle toward the stadium until you reach a row of cars parked against the fence, parallel with Rt 1. Walk along that row and look for the Tailgate. We will have several canopies together, and a flagpole with both an American and Patriot flags. The Bruschi Banner is almost always on the fence to call folks to our location though remember I take it down and depart one hour prior to the game.
