Official Jan. 10th Panthers/Cardinals Tailgate Thread

[BMorgan]

Unless something happens between now and then, the wife and I plan on being there. We probably won't be there until around 4.

gooooooood lord prime rib at a tailagate? YES

We need to start cracking down on non huddlers fulling up a plate, donating nothing, and just walking off.

Any security volunteers?

I always wondered why you just didnt have a $$$$ jar at the 1st part of the line with a sign saying $5 a plate. Have someone chillin there taking money.

That will help curb the rift raft and all huddlers know the real deal.

Just a suggestion.

**** just seen the ticket thing too. both good ideas

[Badbak]

As it stands now I'll be there with the wife in tow. God only knows when she will be ready to go.

It's been suggested before and gotten snickers....but seriously - nametags would help.

I'll bring my Caulk gun to the tailgate and stand guard....

You know how copper wire was invented? 2manytoys and his clone found the same penny.

You aint getting squat out of him, biggest freeloader on the huddle. Its a good thing my sister comes with him or you wouldnt get a dime outta him.

Someone make sure he pays, f*ckers loaded with dough and never puts in jack. Watch him and you'll see.

[shinner]

he oughta raffle off that Camaro....Toys for Tots could really benefit from that.

[2manytoys]

That would be the last thing to go...

[2manytoys]

Rhino's right.... I'm loaded with dough..... what size you want. I've got 9oz 12oz and 16 oz doughballs loaded up in trays in the walk in cooler.... I can bring plenty of dough to the tailgate...I'll even throw in some sauce.... Rhino loves my sauce.. loves to lick it off his lips.. and begs for more.

Tell her it's a 4 pm game. One time I told my wife that the game was at 1 pm when it really didn't start til 4 pm.

It worked very well.

[shinner]

That would be the last thing to go...

[SteveSmith_for_Prez]

I'll now official. Ill be there. First timer! About what time do you guys assume the parking will be full and is there any other lots in the near proximity?

[SteveSmith_for_Prez]

Never mind. Just read all the FAQs about parking though I'm gonna have to study some mapquest to find the place. Been to a few Panthers games and I've probably walked right by you guys before. You guys aren't the guys that do themes do you? Like having cajun food and the works for the New Orleans games.

Is there a set donation for the charity?

I know. I know. Questions galore, but I just got some good news and I'm all gttty inside.

[mush]

I think we should be more diligent about screening everybody that goes through the line especially this tailgate. When I stand in the line there are usually only a few people that I don't know but I can't be there throughout all the serving time. While charging per plate sounds like a good idea....

1. Many people often give more than what we would charge.

2. Charging for food means you have to get inspected by the health dept., then a business license, then state taxes, etc.

3. I'd hate to have $10 make somebody who wanted to come down and and hang with us not do it as a result of the $10 per person. That would be $40 for me and my family. Most of the time we don't do this high end fare. We've always welcomed anybody who wanted to come. It may actually reduce the # of people who show up and we've always been very welcoming.

I think between making sure everyone going through the line is known by someone, and know that they just don't show up, load up, then take their food somewhere else, and by maybe doing smaller portions to ensure everything gets eaten on the plate (then you come back for 2nds or 3rds) that we can still serve this high end fare and still responsibly welcome all. What we've done has worked pretty well for the most part but there's always room for improvement.

Plus, I want to have fun on gameday and don't want anybody complaining that we ran out of potato salad when they show up a half hour before kickoff! lol
