TexanMark warned us that we could just by cheaper tickets and move on down, but it was too late for me. Oh well, not gonna let it spoil my trip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue & Gold Posted August 29, 2008 Report Share Posted August 29, 2008 Yeah, TexanMark mentioned that they're pretty lax w/ the seating designations in the Carrier Dome - now that the crowds are only about half of what they used to be. He made it sound like you wouldn't have much trouble sitting wherever you want after the crowd is settled in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He made it sound like you wouldn't have much trouble sitting wherever you want after the crowd is settled in.*phew* I got mine for $4 from stubhub. Whole trip is gonna cost about $300 for two ($120 for hotel, 100 for gass, 10 for tix, 70 for miscellaneous). Not bad for a Zips mini vacation. Besides Lee and johnnyzip, anyone else goin?

Do you have access to a permit? If not I suggest Skytop located near Manley North see the link. You can catch a shuttle to the Dome from Skytop or walk.

You couldn't ask for more helpful and complete football travel info and it would be a good idea to bookmark it for future reference. In fact, maybe we could start a pinned thread with links to away-game info resources. Thanks, TexanMark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it that little group of blue lots all the way on the left? Other Zip fans parking anywhere in particular or playing it by ear? Would that be the best place to find fellow visiting fans? Are there any large tailgates friendly towards visitors? If so, where? I'd like to see some friendly faces Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are there any large tailgates friendly towards visitors? If so, where? I'd like to see some friendly faces I can offer tailgating to a small contingent of Zips. My only request is you reciprocate at your brand new stadium in 2010. Send me a PM with how many in your party. I'm located 2 blocks west of the Carrier Dome in the Fine Lot. My group is probably 20-25 strong this Saturday. Mostly fans from their 20s to early 50s. Some wives and a few kids. Of course beer drinking is authorized and practiced to the highest order but we are not a group into getting totally blotto playing beer pong. We do play cornhole, ladderball, etc... If you arrive early by 1pm your parking options are better...I'll help you with that. I'll trade cell phone numbers to help the rendezvous. I need to get any of you coming firmed up by Wednesday at the latest. We'll talk about what you can bring food, beer or money. The menu will be famous Hoffmann and Zweigle coneys, etc...maybe even Salt Potatoes. If you are short tickets--usually you can find them in the parking lot easily and for less than face value. I think I have one extra I'll let go for $10. TexanMark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnnyzip84 Posted September 3, 2008 Report Share Posted September 3, 2008 I was thinking about parking at Skytop as suggested by TexanMark.What about dinner etc. the night before? I was thinking about trying the Empire Brewing Company for a later (8:00) dinner. It looks like it's a pretty highly rated establishment.

Hey, TexanMark, is Skytop one big parking lot where we'll be able to easily able to seek out friendly faces?Yup very easy...you can tailgate, throw a frisbee...you guys ought to have someone bring a flag and fly it for a marker. SU fans should be pretty cool.Only down side is you need to catch a shuttle...if you are able body you can walk but it is probably 2 miles--but tree lined sidewalks for the most part through a nice neighborhoodEmpire Brewing is very good...Dinosaur BBQ is world famous...Armory Square is the best party spot in town for Friday night. Anyone from 21 to 60 will find a place they would be comfortable at. Another option if you wanna drink craft beer and watch college FB on Friday night is Syracuse Suds also in Armory Square. Dinosaur is about 4 blocks north of Armory Square down Franklin. Awful Als is a cigar bar in Armory for those that like cigars. Blue Tusk is one of the best drinking joints in the US. Clarks is the best Roast Beef around...try one with a slight buzz at 10pm and you'll agree. See my guide for all the links.One piece of advice...print out a map and keep it with you...the roads in Syracuse are confusingOk which one of you guys is going to host us in 2010? Anyone want to help me on developing a guide for Akron for 2009 send me a note. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just keep in mind the whole UA tailgating topic is a big unknown right now (stadium and lot construction still has a ways to go). I've yet to see a good University map detailing 2009 parking/tailgating plans. It'll eventually become clear, but for now we're all in the dark.

In the meantime look at my other guides and start researching when able:Lodging, Fine Dining, Casual Dining (for dining avoid the national chains--give me the local or regional flavor), Sports Bars, Golf Courses ( a couple muni hacker courses and a couple very nice courses), touristy stuff within an hour or two and one or two trendy, hot shopping centers for the ladies. Also, let me know if Ohio sells beer, wine in convenience and grocery sotores. Is hard liquor in state run places or liquor stores.Be sure to attach any links (most important part)The parking, stadium info can be filled in in August 09. My goal would be to have it ready for your 1st game in the new stadium.Bottomline the guide is written first for the visiting fan but should also be a nice reference for hometown fans too. I really appreciate you stepping forward. TM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zip N' Dots Posted September 3, 2008 Report Share Posted September 3, 2008 I will be tailgating in the Henry Lot starting around 11:00 A.M.
