Vikings Tailgating 2008

**NodakPaul** · 02-07-2008, 02:18 PM

Is it too early to be looking forward to the start of the season yet? ;D
After all, there is only 182 days until the start of preseason!

Last year we were treated to five tailgating spots directly across from the Metrodome thanks largely in part to a small number of very generous members (jargomcfargo, vikeswin2005, and webby come to mind).

I just want to plant the idea in your head now - if we want to do it again this year, some more of us will have to step up to the plate.
If you find an extra couple of bucks laying around (especially when those tax refunds come in

, and you can afford it, it might not hurt to spirit a little away for the tailgating fund...

Skol, and I can't wait to do purple jello shots and drink grainbelt with you guys come August...

Never too early to start planning for next season. I don't mind putting in again towards the fund
;D
Just let us know how and when !

Did the main contributors get their money back?
I thought Jargo said he was pretty close, but that was quite awhile ago.

It's NEVER too early, NP - you know that!

And you are right - we had some very generous types step up and purchase spots for PPO to use.
I know they got a lot of their money back, but unless they get it all back, it's not enough.

Mmm!
Grain Belt!
Yahooo!

I heard if donations are made payable to the 'Church of the Purple Jesus' they are tax deductible.

Never to early to plan.
Heck we are already coordinating the Tenn game and we don't even know the date.
;D

I'll donate again, just tell us when and where to send it too

I think you still owe me a shot of whiskey, but otherwise I came out fine.

Seriously, thanks to Webby and the generous members of PPO, I got all my money back plus $40.
That $40 is going back into the kitty for next year.

Webby, Neum, and Shock, along with Vikeswin2005 are the logical guys to coordinate this years plan.

I don't think we probably need as many spots next year,. But that's not going to be my decision.

I do feel Vikeswin2005 should not have to pay for a spot next year.

Anyway, I'm in and looking forward to partying with the PPO crew again in 2008; our superbowl winning season!

5 spots were nice for two cars and for people to spread out

5 spots were too many. There wasn't a single game that went by were the parking lot attendants didn't sell one or two of those spots, so in all actuality, they sold the same spots twice & made more money.

5 were paid for in advance. We should have been able to use all 5 of them every home game. Not just the 3 or 4 we got to use.

[size=13pt]Fuck the parking lot attendants![/size]

I wonder if Wilf knew about this?
