yeswecan has to to chime in on this thread with his Anaheim PD parking lot opus ... or he can just tell us all about going to New York City last weekend.

hmmm...
the anaheim police story doesn't ring a bell, but i have seen them bust people under the big A and dump out their entire case of booze in front of them.
NYC, though, did include a run-in with the NYPD. but that's another story altogether. what was neat was i got to read all the front-page stories about the last opening day of the old yankee stadium (i was still in NY the day the yankers got rained out).

I will venture my fist post of the new season...
And my picks are mathematically sound: Figgins, Figgins, Rodriguez.

sound or not, this is the wrong thread

it wasnt the parking lot
it was in the stands. we were all about 18 and we snuck in bottles of jack. we were hammered by the second inning and security kicked us out after a belligerent friend wouldnt put out his cigarette. what an idiot.

Second Cheapest
It is still free to park in Tampa Bay. But then again they average like 10K people.

TeleTailgate?
OK...so I'll be tailgating in my own parking lot, here in Ohio. Just ordered a t-shirt too....so I'll be all official-like sometime next week.
GO ANGELS!
ViolaHalo - April 4, 2008
Also from OH
I will watch the game from the basement of my house. I hope it's in HD tonight. At least my sister is going tonight and can try to get me a schedule magnet.
anaheimisnotla - April 4, 2008
Where
In Ohio?
ViolaHalo - April 4, 2008
Columbus
Been out here for 6 years now.

I avoid the parking lot like the plague...
but now am without a good parking area due to the closure of the old El Torito parking lot on State College and Katella. Time to pony up on the $8.
I only have tailgate festivities for football games. I attend too many baseball games in a season to tailgate before them.

I keep trying to email Cupie, but it comes back as an invalid address??
autry's cowboys - April 4, 2008
Are you copying the address directly from the t-shirt page?
Because he has extra spaces in there....probably as an anti-spam measure.
Just eliminate the e x t r a s p a c e s and try again.
ViolaHalo - April 4, 2008
got it, thanks!
autry's cowboys - April 4, 2008
When I was poor....
I would park at the National Sports Grill. I would usually meet up with my party and eat dinner there first. Then I would hoof it over to the stadium from there. Many times we'd go back inside after the game too.
But now I just pay the parking fee.
anaheimisnotla - April 4, 2008
I think my favorite story is my son's first game.....
he was about two months old so I had him strapped to my chest. We were tailgating in the parking lot. When it came to game time, my wife tried to smuggle some extra beers in the diaper bag....obviously she was caught and I had to take one for the team and go back out and drink the beers. The best part about it was trying to take a leak at the urinal with my son strapped to my chest. You can go ahead and nominate me for father of the year now. I'm still embarassed about that one and am not nearly as irresponsible as this story makes me out to be.
autry's cowboys - April 4, 2008
As a sports-mad father to be....
...in the next month or so, this made me smile.
ViolaHalo - April 4, 2008
CONGRATS!
autry's cowboys - April 4, 2008
Where are you guys gonna hang to Tailgate?
I'd love to come over an meet the HH'ers.
red floyd - April 4, 2008
I'll be heading to my Local Buffalo Wild Wings for this one
should be a good time, nothing like Opening Day! Weather looks like it should be nice. I hope that all of you that get to go today have a great time. Go Halos.
Erik121 - April 4, 2008
Isn't Wild Wings the Ducks' mascot?
;)
Downing Rules - April 4, 2008
If you're going tonight
Try and leave a little early. There's a Bon Jovi concert at the Pond at 7:30. Traffic's sure to be a nightmare.
ReggieBullits - April 4, 2008
i voted yes but...
since i live north of cooperstown i dont get to the big A that much (at all) so i,ve actually been busted on two different occasions in sheas parking lot. first time the cop told us to drink out of paper cups and we would be o.k. tried tellin that to the second cop a year later and he handed us tickets for drinking but, certainly didnt take our beverages
adirondackangelfan - April 4, 2008
just ordered me
the red ringer shirt.
can't wait for the game tonight!!!
howiestheman - April 4, 2008
Got a drinking in public ticket at Dodger Stadium during an Angels game
It sucks. You can't have a beer in the parking lot of a game!? What is the world coming to?
KendrickExperience - April 4, 2008
I got hassled by Pacific Blue too.
Higz - April 4, 2008
Shotgunning Coors Lights in the parking lot.
Sitting in Section 503 tonight, so I guess it won't matter how stupid I get.
Higz - April 4, 2008
512 here

red floyd - April 4, 2008
Actually
Those seats aren't too bad as far as the cheapies go.
Higz - April 4, 2008
Yeah
They were pretty good... right above third base.
Of couse, I've got this little mental block -- fear of heights. At least it was row F, and not QQ or whatever the top is.
red floyd - April 5, 2008
Getting ready for the game
Tailgating during the 1975 season was the best. We knew a coulple of the Anaheim cops and they closed their eyes to our beer cans. It was the Hooch that made them mad. But.... we still got away with the hooch in the stands, hell we only had about 10,000 total fans in the stands. Oh, the old college days when we also eat the giant moths in the right field stands and beer was about a buck and a half!!
Hapyorange - April 4, 2008
YWC and I will be hanging out...
