Regarding Lh/Hondo Tailgate Party

[firstcat]

I just received a note from Supt. Andrews, he said that the stadium administration notified him there was "No tailgating allowed in the Farris Athletic Complex".

Now what, drop back and punt??????

After the experience last year at Comalander, I think that's exactly what they'll do. :eek: :eek: :eek:

[Old Tiger]

I hope yall don't get tassered tazerd(spelling) by the parking lot police :(

[catman]

I've gone to several games at Farris before. I got there 2 hours before game time and the police were already there. I've never seen tailgating at either Farris or Comalander.

[SintonFan]

There are a few parks nearby. But not alll of them allow bbqing.
Let me find a map. Should I call the HEB at Bandera and 1604(1/4 mile away)? They might be receptive.:)

[SintonFan]

Well Heck! I called the HEB there but lol they don't allow pits on their parking lot(unless it is approved through corporate).:D

[Ranger Mom]

Well THAT stinks!!:mad: :mad: :mad:

Give me some time. I'll work it out(somewheres close that is).:)

[SintonFan]

Hmmmm....
Raymond Russell park isn't that far and we've bbqed there before. Let me find a map for yall. If you folks are willing to travel as far as yall to make this game, I'm positve we'll have somewhere for all to meet.:)

[pirate4state]

Too bad my cousin lives so far outside the city limits, he'd love to have us all invade his place!! It would be perfect!!!

[SintonFan]

Ok, just got off the phone with a nice lady from SA city parks. She said they have a pavilion at Raymond Russell with kitchen facilities for $230. lol Thats pricey but anyone is allowed to BBQ at the park, it's first come first serve for space. It's a decent sized park so that shouldn't be a problem. The park is around 5-7 miles away from the stadium and on I-10 just past Fiesta Texas. There is a closer park but it is huge and I see problems with everyone meeting up there because it can be confusing if you have never been there.
Let me find a map for yall. :)

[SintonFan]

Here is the link to Raymond Russell park.
Park website (http://www.sanantonio.gov/sapar/raymondrussellreservations.asp?res=1152&ver=true)
Pavilion no. 2 is open but again to bbq there it's ok without rental. We would just have to have a large "3Adownlow" sign.

[LH Panther Mom]

I wonder if it would be just as easy (and probably cheaper) to find a restaurant closeby to eat, meet & greet. lhpd looked and found a Golden Corral at the Bandera Rd exit. If that doesn't work, there seemed to be several other options.


Then we could do a parking lot "no eat" meet & greet for any not able to make the other.

[SintonFan]

Whatever yall decide. The park is free, of course.;) I'm here to help of course.

:doh: :doh: I just reread your first post. I thought the $230 thing was it. I should "keep up". :hairpunk: :D

I live about two miles away but my parking is horrible.:doh:
.
I think maybe taking a poll for the park or restaurant might be a good idea.

[LH Panther Mom]

Okay, what should we do?????

[SintonFan]

Here's a map link to the Golden Corral you are talking about LHPM.
GC on 1604 (http://www.google.com/maps?hl=en&lr=&q=golden+corral&near=San+Antonio,+TX&radius=0.0&cid=29423889,-98493333,10654379452062552306&li=lmd&z=14&t=m)
It is almost across from the stadium.

I'm staying out of the decision making process. Since some of you are traveling from a large distance you guys should get together and decide. I can help with whatever questions yall might have as I am familiar with the area.:)

Hills and Dales or Taqueria Aguas Calientes on White Fawn Drive:D

:inlove: I love this thread!!!!:inlove:

[firstcat]

I just found out there is a group from LH that are planning to meet at the Rudy's BBQ at Leon Springs. Supposed to be really close to the stadium, they said to come on and join them....

Just throwing it out there......

[rundoe]

For the eat, meet, and greet, yum

Rudy's is about two miles north of Raymond Russell park. About nine miles from the stadium.:nerd:

[rundoe]

guess no one liked my bass idea

:(

[Ranger Mom]

Well DARN!! Hanging around in a parking lot at a tailgate party for 3 hours or so is one thing.

Being stuck at a restaurant for 3 hours is something else entirely!!

This is really going to affect what I time I leave West Texas!!

Personally...if we can find a park somewhere nearby that will let us cook, I like that idea the best.

I don't see any need to spend $230 on a pavilion...just load up chairs and set them wherever!!

BUT....neither one of these are my teams..Im just a bystander, so tell me what we are gonna do and I will go from there!!!

[rundoe]

Don't worry your not driving the farthest anymore. Just found out my brother and sister in law are coming in from Atlanta Ga. to watch us play. :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap:

[bjrod9]

i think we should just meet at a restaraunt and tear it up there and let them worry about the mess so we can go get in line for the game, Gates open @ 2:30.

Have you ever been to a meet and greet at a restaurant?? It is hard to do any meeting and greeting.....all there is is eating!!:D

Other patrons in the restaurant don't much care for the milling around from table to table!!

Has there been any kind of head count done yet??

[bjrod9]

No i havent been to a meet and greet at a restaraunt, and yes i understand and feel for the people who may see us mingleing,lol,but eating is eating... maybe if we get a headcount we could reserve some big tables or room if it is free of course.

[CHS_CG]

park idea is the best to me. we can all move around at will sit down stand up and if anybody is bringing their family/ lil ones they could have wide open space to run around. Depending on what we do will also determine the time i leave from caldwell.

[Bandera YaYa]

I;m trying to think where yall could go....depends on how many will be attending, to get my thoughts together ...any idea of head count?? :thinking:

[PJ Frye]

[SintonFan]

I DID mention that Raymond Russell Park is fairly close and they do allow big BBQ pits there. Are you blind YaYa?:D

If you have an idea just let us know. I'm not trying to say you don't, heck I didn't even know you wore glasses.:nerd: :D
I'm just trying to help folks.:)

[SintonFan]

lol YaYa
Today is almost Friday(the day before the game) so we need something concrete soon(Friday afternoon at the latest) for all these folks coming in from out-of-town to make plans for. Heck, if it was up to me I'd say we all just meet at the Riverwalk with that "slimy green water".;)
But close to the stadium is good(to get a good seat early). I thought about OP Schnaibel(spelling?) park but that is more of a nature park, as is most in that area. I checked the map in the area and Raymond Russell park seems to fit the bill.

[pirate4state]

Park idea sounds good to me!! :)

[SintonFan]

Yall can click on the pdf file labeled "park Map" on this link here.
SA city parks map (http://www.ci.sat.tx.us/sapar/parkmap.asp)
It's a pdf file that will allow you to scale and move around all of San Antonio to see the parks and lots of things in decent detail. :)

Have we figured anything out? I need to know what we are doing by 5 PM today.. lets make a choice people!

Funny, I went to THAT same Golden Corral last nite and there is a back room, that some people were having a Xmas party in ......it was private....just an FYI. Also, I don't know anything about the parks in SA...heck just have it in the new Bass Pro Shop parking lot....that place is such a madhouse, no one would see you!!!!!. :D :p

BBQ at the park is in the lead!! :clap: The whole restaurant thing can get crazy for such a big group.

I like that idea the best myself...but this isn't my deal, I am just along for the ride!!

I just wish SOMEONE would decide so I could make out my maps up here on a high speed computer rather than having to wait 2 hours for one to pull up and print out at home!!

[LH Panther Mom]

Okay, I've got to leave for the office before the poll is scheduled to close. I think cooking out in the park sounds like a great idea for those who'd like to. We plan to leave here around 10, so we'll go to Russell. Sinton Fan, if there are any areas that might be better for a group, please let us know. We'll have some type of 3ADL sign.

For any that can't make the park or prefer the restaurant, we could all meet in the parking lot of the stadium around 2-2:15 and still be able to get in at 2:30 when the gates open.

Did you ever get a map??? I called them and the girl told me that they were off I-10 & Huebner; past Fiesta Texas. How far is that from the stadium???

She said there is a sign on I-10 that reads "Raymond Russell Park" next exit, but didn't know the exit number.

I nominate YOU to show up early and save a spot!!! :D :D

Try this yahoo map. Raymond russell (http://maps.yahoo.com/broadband/#q1=20644+IH-10+West+San+Antonio+Texas&trf=0&mvt=m&lon=-98.61268&lat=29.633979&mag=5)
.
p4s the park is about 7 miles from the stadium. Most park in the area a natural aprks or wilderness parks and don't allow bbqing.
Let me know if the link works. You should be able to scale in and out to get your bearings.:)

[SintonFan]

Here again is the Texasbob link with some info on the stadium.

Yeah that didn't help. Okay so if I just get on I-10 and travel west I should find it right? I mean the girl told me off I-10 & Huebner with signs pointing you in the right direction. How hard can it be? :D :crazy1:

[SintonFan]

Jeez the link works for me.
It's easy to get there though.
It isn't around Huebner.
.
Follow this p4s:
.
Take IH10 past 1604 on the NW side of town and look for the Camp Bullis exit. Take that exit and go straight through the light. The park is about 1/2 mile down on the right.
.
.
The address is 20644 IH-10 West San Antonio, TX. You can enter that address in yahoo maps or google maps and it should pop up no problemo. If anyone has trouble or are not sure where exactly to go I'll try to find another map. You can also pm me your cell no. and I'll do the same if you get lost in the area(lol better do that today). I'll be glad to help any way I can.:)

[SintonFan]

For those coming from 1604 east(ie. LH folks and northerners) as you travel west on 1604, look for the IH10/1604 interchange and take IH10 to El Paso(boerne). Take the Camp Bullis exit, go through the light and the park is about 1/2 mile on the right.

[pirate4state]

THANK YOU D!! :kiss: :kiss:

See you tomorrow!!!

[Bandera YaYa]

yah...no where near Huebner.....but the question is.....will the guys drive by Pro Bass Shop and NOT go in??? ..or the gals not visit the shops at the new "Rim" shopping mall.....if all of ya'll can drive past all those goodies, my hats off to ya!! Have fun and I MIGHT just see you at the game!!!! :D :D :kiss:

Won't be a problem for this gal, I hate shopping especially at this time of year!! See you there YaYa!!! :)

[SintonFan]

I got these directions from another website:
.
Raymond Russell Park is at 20644 W. IH-10 in NW San Antonio, about 3.5 miles northwest of Loop 1604 on IH-10. From Loop 1604 (Anderson Loop) head west on IH-10. Take exit 554, Camp Bullis Rd, and stay on the access road. Go straight through the four-way stop, and Raymond Russell Park will be on your right.
.
That's about as easy as it gets.:)

[Ranger Mom]

I am coming in on I-10...will I just pull right up to it?

[SintonFan]

If you are coming from IH10 from Boerne you will have to exit Camp Bullis(it's just before the Fiesta Texas exit). Take a left under the overpass and another left to the access road and it'll be about 1/2 mile on the right.
Try to enter the address above in yahoo maps if you aren't sure.

Call me if you have any trouble.
Denise decided she's gonna go to the salon at 12 so I might be a little later than noon.
Heck if yall get their early hubby might just wanna check out the Brand New Bass Pro Shops just less than one mile past the park on IH 10(coming from Boerne take the Fiesta Texas/La Cantera exit). It is awesome and I could set up a tent there for a weekend adventure.:D
.
Again for anyone that wants to go. Let me know if I need to PM my cell phone number to you. I'll be glad to find you and take you to the park if you get lost.

lhpantherdad - grill & pop-up
p4s - cookies, chips & dips
Ranger Mom - case of bottled water
wimbo_pro - himself, i mean a turkey

Who wants to sign up for the following:

Meat - sausage for wraps - lhpd & lhpm
Tortillas/Bread - tortillas - lhpd & lhpm
Buns -
Drinks -
Ice -
Pickles, Mustard, Mayo -
Onion, Lettuce, Toms -
Soft Drinks -
Chili for hot dogs -

No one has said what they want so just bring your favorite dish I guess.
.
Ok, I'll bring Ice and soft drinks. RM you still bring the case of water as I'm sure some of us will want that instead of soda. :) Besides I've never had West Texas water.:D

Are you coming to the MnG at the Park, firstcat? I'd love to see that BBQ pit in action.:clap: :cool:
Don't take anything I've said in the "LH-Hondo prediction thread" too serious. I was just trying to get some spirited talk started.:D
.
Yall all have a safe drive tomorrow and I hope to see many of you there at the MnG.
.
.
.
For those who can't make the MnG. Let's plan on meeting at 2:15 at the north entrance of the stadium. Hopefully we can get a sign with 3Adownlow on it for you all who want to meet just before the game.
A halftime MnG is tough as Northside ISD charges full price admission if you leave the gate. That sucks for us smokers, and I myself would rather just stay in the stadium than pay for another ticket.
.
Good luck to everone driving to and from the game and MnG.:)

[catman]

Sorry I won't be at the game or the M&G. Would like to see everyone again and meet those I didn't meet last week. I'll be over at the Alamodome watching the 2 games there. More bang for my bucks.
