Hey Ben -- you know that really nicely laid out pdf file you link to in your sig? It refers to getting excited about the... "post-game FIREWOKS!" I do like Chinese food, but is it really worth staying after the game for?
I didn't make the flier. I got it from the Fire and edited the parts with my information on it. As for the hotel deal, I can tell you that the rooms are at the Courtyard by Marriott in the Midway Hotel Campus. The airport, hotels and stadium are all within 3 miles of each other. They will be $109 per night for a double queen room. I just can't give permission to call yet because they agreement hasn't been signed and returned (I'm waiting for them to email it to me), so please don't call in reservations yet.
Updated 4/27: Ben Matt Jason Kathie Jeff + 2 Roush + 1-3 Redfood + 2-3 McGinty Mike K. Eric B. Alex + 1-3 Stu Beth James Katy Mark Vic + 3 (Vic is from St. Louis, emailed me via the web site! ) sachen + 3??? We're around 30 or so. That's pretty good if you ask me. Let's get up to 50!!
I'm not trying to get ahead of myself, but if 12 people wanted to get a hotel room for a night or even 2 and do a van, they could, and if 12 wanted to do a turnaround, they could do another. Everywhere you'd want to go besides the stadium will have El-train access so people should be able to split up if they wanted when they got there. I imagine most people will want to travel on their own, but the option is there if we can get enough people interested.
While I would normally enjoy this idea, flying is just too cheap up there and too close to the stadium to pass up.
This has been a bit dead. We need more people!!! Everyone should bug people at this weekends game and get more to join us. I booked Matt and I's flight just now. We will arrive in Chi at 12:30PM on July 3 and fly out around noon on July 5. If anyone else is planning to fly, let me know. The guy with the hotels has obviously screwed up, because it still isn't worked out. I'll call him tomorrow and figure out what the heck is going on.
Updated 5/1: Ben Matt Jason Kathie Jeff + 2 Roush + 1-3 Redfood + 2-3 McGinty Mike K. Eric B. Alex + 1-3 Stu Beth James Katy Mark Vic + 3 (Vic is from St. Louis, emailed me via the web site! ) sachen + 3??? The Charlands (5) We're around 30 or so. That's pretty good if you ask me. Let's get up to 50! If people would like, please start sending money or bringing it to the games. I have to send the money for the tickets in a month.
Ok...I seriously need people to start getting me money for this trip. And I am going to miss the next home game on May 27 due to family stuff at the lake. I will be at the watch party next weekend though. I need people to get ahold of me or just send it via snail mail. If you want to use PayPal go right ahead, but don't pay by credit card as I'm not willing to take service fees on this one. I need the money by June 5th. Paid: Ben and Matt (2) The Charlands (5) James and Katy (2)
I'm finalizing plans for me, my girlfriend, and both of my roomies to ride the train from indy to chicago for the game. I'm pretty sure we'll be there.
I FINALLY have the hotel stuff worked out. We had a bit of a communication issue. Courtyard Marriott Midway # 708-563-0200 or 888-643-4667 When you call tell them you're with "KC Cauldron" and your check in date. That's all you should need. $109 per night, next to the team hotel, 3 miles from the stadium. I have 10 rooms reserved so far. Please let me know if you're going to be in that hotel.
Someone who is going on this trip gave a check to someone at the tailgate after the game last weekend. If you are the someone with the check, I need it ASAP. Please contact me, because I have no clue who it is and don't want to lose this person's money. Thanks.
Mike -- I think I am gonna go w/ the hotel. So my car and hotel, we're set. Greg/Gordo -- are you gonna ride w/ us?
I wasn't kidding last time. I need the money by June 5th, preferably sooner rather than later. If I don't get money from you before June 5 you are SOL.
