So I'm going out to legendary Gilette stadium tomorrow to see the mighty, formidable Carolina Pants take on the Seattle Seahawks. Going with my best bud from NFL Films, but there is only one tiny crew working the game -no way he can get me on the sideline for this one. So we can purchase luxury box tickets ($$$) but eat giant prawns and be treated like a king, buy tickets through the league (which'll be great seats), or scalp tickets from niggers in the parking lot and probably get in for fifteen bucks. The locals have given up on the "Panters" and tickets will be everywhere cheap, -so we can probably sit wherever we want once we get in the stadium. I've never been less excited about a game in my life, but I'll try to pull my hoodie over my head and make a Peggy smile for the camera on my way out.

PS: Seattle is a 7.5 favorite. Historically, home dogs giving up more than 7 are a great bet, but I'm thinking few of those teams had a 58 year old Vinny Testaverde under center and only one threat on offense (Smith). I may actually buy points on this one and bring it up to 11 or 12. My hometown team is gonna trounced tomorra.

PPS: In the "pole," money is a factor. Daddy P hasn't really worked in 6 weeks or so and Christmas is near. The whole scalping scene in Charlotte is seedy as fuck and may make for good stories (and maybe pictures).

Actually, no. I'm certain it'll be blacked out since it didn't sell out. Not that it's the game I'd most wanna see this weej, I'm just hanging out in Charlotte for the weekend to see my mate and his new nipper.

Russy, I'd be somewhat hurt at the subtle dig at the Cow. But hey, I won't give a rat's ass because I'll be sitting in luxury, with full waiter and bar service, gazing down upon the common filth sitting elsewhere.

See: It's good to be the Cow. :up:

Russel, why are the Panthers & Seahawks playing at Gillette? I thought they played at Bank Of America Stadium in Charlotte.
If the game is played in Charlotte, get the Cow-Boxes since the weather forecast is 25 - 49F and a chance of rain.

My Aunt used to run Ken Behring's Real Estate company in the 80's so I had a couple chances to sit in the owners skybox. If there is any way for you to do this do it. There is NO better way to watch a game.

Cow, it wasn't a dig, it's what I knew you'd do!

Bip, I've seen a preseason game there in the luxury suite -it is fucin' sweet! I'm just on a shoestring budget, and don't care enough about the game to shell out the bucks for 3-4 hours of luxury.

DJB, :oops: on the stadium name, I think it changes every home game... and the Panther's and Patriots are so easy to confuse. :omfg:

If it were me, I'd find a slightly annoying and totally drunk guy to buy the tickets for me. I'd also get him to drive me to the game and buy my food.

Nachos. I swear, Ed, you've GOT to be half beaner. The only people what eat nachos at football games are negroes and beaners, and beaners only go to Raiders & Chargers games.

Russ, I'd pay the least amount of scratch to get in, and then just start scouting for empty seats inside the 30's. That's a lotta cash to drop on a non-playoff game (then again, I've paid more than that to see Elway & my beloved Broncos play at Anaheim, the King Dome, and the old Murph). Tough ta say.

Well, one of my buddies just had a kid (actually both did) and is on a wife-approved budget. Anything over 50 and I'll have to pick up the slack, so I'm leaning cheap seats.

You put the phrase 'street urchins' into a choice and that's what I'm gonna pick.

Interesting stories and saving money beats luxury box, I would think. Unless it's gonna be a shitty ass day with freezing rain. =(

We've got the hundred-dollar rule in effect: Anything over a hunskie has to be at least brought up first. It helps marriages last longer, I think. Fiddy is a little on the tight side, I'd say. He could be holding out on you with the other fid. :tip:

I voted for the cheap seats. Go with the scalpers.

I, too am going to an NFL game tomorrow. I'll be freezing my ass off at Heinz Field tomorrow. I don't even know where the seats are...I got hooked up from a season tix holder (someone my mom works with) and they're leaving them at Will-Call. I'll try and get some pics, too.

Fuck that. I didn't even make it into the goddamn stadium. The fucks at will-call fucked up our fucking tickets and we spent an hour trying to get it straightened out. Around half time we just said fuck this fucking shit and left. But I thank the living Cruise that we made it home alive, going over some mountains on the way back it was all white-out conditions. We passed a jack-knifed semi whose trailer cut a perfect V-shape down the middle of a Jeep Cherokee, too. I need a beer. Fuck.

Edit: Russ, I hope you had a better time than me today at the Panthers game.

^^Dude, my stomach actually fucking KNOTTED reading that post. I can vividly IMAGINE the putrid disgust and venomous loathing you're dealing with, daddy. I don't know who'd I be more pissed off at: the people who called your info in on the tix, or the cocksuckers at will-call. I have to admit, when I read your first post, a small part of me thought, Will-call... oh, boy... I hope that shit works out (I've had horrible luck with that--SOMEONE usually fucks up somewhere down the chain). I still figured you'd have about a 65-70% chance of no hassle.

But, to hear that you drove in fucking white-out conditions THROUGH MOUNTAINS to get there--AND BACK--and NEVER got into the stadium?!!! Dude, I'd need some MORPHINE!!!

Heap
12-16-2007, 08:14 PM
The folks who got the tix actually called to verify all names and shit before they sent them to will-call (that is the cat's secretary called and did all the work, I doubt the fuck-up was on their end). I think his company is gonna refund the cost of gas and food and shit...even send US (key) playoff tix if they have a homegame and that they can get them for.

As for the weather...it was kind of unexpected, though the roads were bad the whole way. There was just a little stretch where snow was coming down HARD and the wind was blowing snow what already fallen. If there was a hotel or a town in the area, we'd have probably stopped.

I've got some fund-raiser/charity pizza in the oven, and all is well for now. :tip:

Alright, I'm back. We bought tickets from a street vendor (yes, a man of color) but got 50 yard line tickets in the club seats for $40 less than ticket price. Amazing seats and the club area was pretty much all white, which was nice -the stadium was only about half full. I was amazed how many beaners were in the parking lot tailgating and playing that horrific fucking beaner music. The game was the most boring NFL game I've ever attended -16 total points and not a single really big play. The weather cleared by game time, but it was windy as a mother fucker.

But one thing made it all worthwhile: there was a pack of well-dressed Jews sitting in front of us and I saw something we laughed about the rest of the day. Someone's mustard and ketchup covered hotdog wrapper was blowing around -stayed suspended in mid-air as if to taunt the elder Jew, then swooped right down and plastered him right on the face! The high-pitched shriek he let out was something I wish I had recorded to listen to over and over. He had to be wearing a thousand dollar+ leather jacket too (which he spent the remainder of the game trying to clean)! I'll never understand how he didn't have his hands ready to block that thing -all of us saw it coming.

Besides that, the game really sucked, but we had lots of laughs and a really fun trip.

Dude, Charlotte has so many of 'em it made my head spin. I didn't bring my camera because of the wind and rain, but wish I had. They put up flagpoles with a Mexican flag and a Panther flag flying above it, cooked out on a flat stove (the food did look great), and blasted mariachi music (I guess that's what it's called). The music was all synthesiser (sp?) meets old beaner music, with "robot" vocals in Spanish. There is no worse music on the planet.

So I'm going out to legendary Gilette stadium tomorrow to see the mighty, formidable Carolina Pants take on the Seattle Seahawks. Going with my best bud from NFL Films, but there is only one tiny crew working the game -no way he can get me on the sideline for this one. So we can purchase luxury box tickets ($$$) but eat giant prawns and be treated like a king, buy tickets through the league (which'll be great seats), or scalp tickets from niggers in the parking lot and probably get in for fifteen bucks. The locals have given up on the "Panters" and tickets will be everywhere cheap, -so we can probably sit wherever we want once we get in the stadium.
