The parking lot has at least two hundred spaces but it's usually full around 10:30 am on gamedays. The giving amount is whatever you can stand to give. This policy has been abused in the past but last season it has gotten better with more oversight. We have many people who just show up to tailgate for the day and that's fine. There is no 'set' fee for admission.

97% of the people who come do the right thing and donate what they can to the cause.

cool thanks mush! one more ? is the parking lot fee 30.00 per spot like most others close to the stadium?

Are you wanting to park where the tailgate is or are you wanting to park and walk to the tailgate? I park a couple of blocks away and pay 10 bucks. It will probably be 20 this year. I've seen the parking lot mongers trying to get everything they can, but if you argue they will negotiate.

Especially with all the building that has been going on over the last couple of years. Parking lots are dwindling in numbers.

Huddle Tailgates are great.

I took my 4 year old to the Broncos tailgate last year. This is no sh*t... today in the car he said to me: "Dad, I want to go to one of those cookout things we went to last year at the Panthers." I looked back with a tear in my eye and said "Son, that is what is called a tailgate." It's like my boy just banged his first hottie. :cryin:

understand big country, some people who have never parked there don't realize this, but if you bring a tent and chairs that it costs another $30 to rent the spot for that. The parking lot operators budget getting $30 per spot and tents and chairs suck up another spot. You can't put out a tent in the middle of the lot where cars can't get around to the other spaces. Only after the lot has closed can you put up a tent maybe.

We just bite the bullet and buy and extra space or two and that settles it.

Believe it or not some lots won't let you buy an extra space just for a tent--cars only.

    • Yep, even if you put aside any discussion about what you think about him as a player or how good he'll be, the one thing that is a 100% certainty is that he's going to make some plays that just drop your jaw and question how he did what we just saw. This is interesting as it was something I'd never even thought/heard of until he was walking on stage after we took him.  One of the analysts on NFL Network brought it up saying something like, "I don't agree with this idea, but I know a lot of college coaches tell the star WRs to purposefully take plays off when they know it's not coming to them" It was interesting because the way he said it, almost sounded like he's heard that it was something the Arizona coaches would tell T-Mac to do.  Which on a team like ours last year, actually makes a ton of sense, because we had NOBODY else who the defense had to worry about.  So instead of taking him off the field to give him a breather, just throw him out there on the far side of the field as a dummy to keep the defense's attention and then run a play in the other direction. You're right, he isn't "as quick" as Evans, because he's quicker.  Sure, Evans does use his body better than T-Mac does, but T-Mac is a better athlete with more wiggle to his game and better at making a defender miss whereas Evans is just more likely to run through you. And your edit here is basically just an add on to my above comment, as personally, I've used the AJ Green comp for him ever since his first game for us at Arizona, it was always who I saw in his game.  He has that fluidity that Green had to him, and at their size it stands out. Actually saw another comp last night that I hadn't seen before, and while I'll admit it's been YEARS since I've seen any film of him, my immediate reaction was, "oh wow, that might be a real solid comp for style of play" And that was of Plaxico Burress. I'd like to see T-Mac have a better overall career than Plax had (especially off the field), but from what I remember about his game, the comp for body/style of play actually seems pretty solid
    • Dan signed up shortly before he opened the pizza place, kind of did a little promotion on here to get panther fans to stop by. Several huddlers reported back to say they met Dan at the restaurant, and that he would hang out and talk football and that the food was good. (I thought it was average and kinda overpriced, he wasn’t there when I went). Since his interactions were going positively, he would post from time to time on topics and give a bit of his insight. Problem is it that was around 2009, the year after Jake melted down with the 6 TO game in the playoffs, and basically started the season with similar performances. Everyone was livid that Jake got an extension that offseason and the consensus of the fans was that it was time to see what Matt Moore had. Dan in one of the threads (and in an Interview on 610) said that what he had heard from the team is that Moore was struggling with the playbook and that why he wasn’t starting. People got mad about that and started saying things like oh that’s your concussions talking…and unsurprisingly he left (but without any sort of announcement, he just stopped posting). He probably wasn’t here for more than a month or two tops, the restaurant closed that following offseason.   Dragging the pizza joint didn’t really happen to my recollection until it was announced that he was the new GM and a few of the crazies (OP of this thread among them) equated his restaurant not succeeding to not being fit to be in charge of football operations. You know, typical huddle stuff.
