    Steelers-Cryboys Tailgate

    I figured it'd be easier to just post a thread insted of PMing everyone. Here are my plans for the game.

    Arrive at the tailgate lot by 8 am. Yes, 8 am. That way I'll have plenty of time to...drink, gamble, and tailgate, what else??? I usually head into the stadium a few hrs prior to kickoff and this game I'll probably be heading in around 1:30. If you want to come and tailgate with me, my pops, my nephew, and about 4-6 others, feel free to stop by. I'll be in the Mercy Behavioral Health building parking lot where Reedsdale St. turns into Fontella Ave.

    Click this site for details.

    CLICK STREET VIEW AND YOU"LL SEE THE EXACT LOT!

    My buddy John (coming to his 5th game this year from Chicago!) wants to cook but we havent decided what is on the menu. I'll be honest, I dont tailgate for the food, I tailgate for the beer/good times. I'll have the grill so if you want to cook something, bring whatever you'd like.

    Another must---bring some cash. We gamble at our tailgate. We play double-elimination tournaments of cornhole and a game called shut-the-box (dice game). The past two weeks, I've gone into the stadium with more cash than I came with.

    Of course, you don't have to gamble, but we'll all peer pressure you, so JUST DO IT!

    Our cooler space is limited, so I would suggest bring a disposable cooler if you can.

    Add to the thread and lets game this thing going. 1st, beat the *Pats...then we'll tailgate it, SN1 style..

        DAMN! You get there at 8am! That's when I plan on quitting the partying from the night before. LOL I'm going to be there for sure. I'd like to put some $$$ in pot for beers even if we only drink a few as starter fluid/hangover relief. This has the makings of a blast!

            Oh and another note, if anyone wants to meet us for a drink or two the night before drinks are on me...we normally go to Margarita Mama's or the strip. Let me know, IT IS NOW ON!

              I'm glad you provided a few more details on the exact spot of the lot. That will help me figure out where to park.

              One question: Will the "SteelerNation" banner be visible/present to identify the exact site? Either way, we will probably find it. We just want as many details as possible so we're not missing too much or taking a bunch of time looking.

              Above all else, SN1, thank you for inviting us over. Tailgating is always fun and your tailgate looks phenomenal from some of the pictures I've seen.

                We won't be coming in until Sunday morning. But we are going to the Pens/Sabres the next night, so we will be there Sunday after the game for a while.

                The Ol' Lady and I won't be attending the actual game, but we come down at least once a year to tailgate, so this will be the time we come down this year. Depending on the travel conditions, we may also be in town for the Clowns game. But that will also depend on a lot of other factors: parties, family gatherings, etc.

                This will be a blast...even more, it's going 2 B PlanetSteelersStock!!!

                  I'm not much of a gambler, so I probably will try once or twice. We'll have to see how I do. Haven't had much practice. But it sounds like you've been challenged. We may need to see you at PlanetSteelersStock to see how you match up with SN1!

                    Buck,
                    I don't hang the banner in the lot...let me post some pictures of the Chargers game tailgate, so you guys can "get a feel." It is real easy to find. Parking is $30 but well worth it.

                        The pictures will give us the necessary clues. $30 for parking is steep, but shouldn't be an issue considering we'll be bringing our own stash of beer. It might be worth it so I don't have to lug a cooler any farther than I have to.

                        Depending on how cold it is, I may be able to bring additional beer w/o the cooler (odds on that are at least 50/50). I'll just get it on the way in. If it's colder than 32 degrees, we should have no problem with enough cold beer.

                            I figure 30 or so beers should be good...any beer is cool by us. Yuenglings are cool. I just want to come by and meet you guys and then head into the game early to eat the gyro's (sp) and drink more.

                              They do sell gyros in the great hall, but how can you come all the way across the country to the Burgh and not have a Primanti's? (they sell the Pitts-burger & capicola and cheese at the stadium).

                              As for the tailgate, I still have to talk to my father about it, but we will likely not be able to make it over to parking lot if you folks will be there from 8:00-1:30 or so (that is basically the time period that we are on the road driving from NEPA to SWPA). I don't drink anyway (seriously) and my Dad and I can just grab a bite to eat on the road at some point to break up our trip a bit, so it's no big deal. I definitely want to meet up with all of you folks in the hour or two before kickoff in Nation at the South Plaza. We should hopefully be arriving at Heinz somewhere in the neighborhood of two or three o'clock depending on traffic, parking, etc. Looking forward to seeing you all there!
                              Steeler teams featuring stat-driven, me-first, fantasy-football-darling diva types such as Antonio Brown & Le'Veon Bell won no championships.

                              Super Bowl winning Steeler teams were built around a dynamic, in-your-face defense plus blue-collar, hard-hitting, no-nonsense football players on offense such as Hines Ward & Jerome Bettis.

                              We don't want Juju & Conner to replace what we lost in Brown & Bell.

                              We are counting on Juju & Conner to return us to the glory we once had with Hines & The Bus.
