Anyone Planning Their New York Trip Yet?

[52 C-Shiz 20]

Call me crazy if you will but I am already planning my trip to NY with a couple of buddies to watch the Ravens whoop up on the Jets on the monday night stage!!! Was wondering if anyone else is planning to attend the game?? Since it is a new stadium does anyone know where all the Raven fans will be parking to tailgate??

[Moderator 4]

I plan to go to the game, probably by rail, if I score reasonably priced tickets. However, I am headed to New Jersey, where the game will be played, not New York.

Considering that this will be the first Jets regular season game in their new home, I would be surprised to see many Ravens fans obtaining tickets to the game.

[Moderator 2]

I'm not sure even YOU can score tickets to that game!

[Juviebest]

I'm looking at going! Only problem is I can't get any of my friends or wife to go with me, haha. Tickets on eBay have been going for $180+ a pop. I don't have a problem driving up there and have been scoping out parking passes as well, usually $50.

[Twoo]

I've already scheduled myself off from rounds for the Jets and all the home games. I'll be in NY for week 1 wearing my Flacco jersey

[BALTIMOREFLACCO]

Already bought my tickets

[Juviebest]

Just bought my tickets as well. $180 a pop wasn't too shabby, upper level 5 yard line.

Anybody plan on tailgating?

How are Jets fans? My wifes birthday is right around the game and I was thinking about taking her. I just don't want trouble.

I live in New York and Jets fans are nuts! They are typical New York fans. The only problem with this particular game, is that it is the first game in the new stadium. That means very few Ravens fans, even less than an average road attendance. I'm sure there will be no trouble though.

Pulled the trigger on tickets. My wife better not get cheese fries thrown at her, lol.


Now for the laundry list of questions. Where should I fly into? Where should we stay? Etc. Thanks in advance for any advice.

Thanks. A buddy told me the Sheraton would be the best bet for hooking up with Ravens fans. Do you agree?

Also. I was going to rent a car and tail-gate since I got a parking pass as well. Do any of these hotels shuttle fans to the game and back?

[FerrariFan87]

I'd be there if I didn't have law school

I'll be there in spirit though!!

Found this hotel that is 2 miles away from the stadium, they run free shuttles to anywhere within a 5 mile radius. I'm going to book a room for that Monday night there.

I'm also looking for fellow Ravens fans to tailgate with!

[52 C-Shiz 20]

Its good to hear that there are Raven fans already all booked up... Since I have a friend that works for Hilton he got me a good deal @ The Hamption Inn Secaucus, below is the information if anyone else is interested in staying there (very close to the stadium). We are also renting a car and want to tailgate so if anyone hears about where the majority of Raven fans will be please post on here. Thanks

EDIT: Oh, no doubt I'm staying there. Just surfed around the web a bit and many ravens road-trips are landing there......

re hotels: This may be too late to help with the Jets game, but, for the Navy-Notre Dame game at the Meadowlands in Ocotober, I have booked a mid-range hotel for $107 that is literally (long) walking distance to the new Meadowlands stadium:

304 Paterson Plank Road
Carlstadt, New Jersey, USA, 07072

They run door to door pregame free shuttles, and a little dicier post game shuttle.

It would be worth a phone call.

[Moderator 2]

Hampton in rocks because they have an awesome breakfast

[Juviebest]

Is anyone tailgating for the game?

[52 C-Shiz 20]

Me and my buddies are deff planning on Tailgating (bringing the beerpong table and all, lol) just dont know where yet but it would be sweet to have a huge group of Raven fans together!!

[Purple Nurple]

I'll be in one of the yellow lots.

Now, exactly when do i reveal to the Jets homer that I got my tickets from that he sold his awesome Mez level seats to a Raven? This guy is gonna flip out when he realizes where his tickets went, lol.

[InFlaccoWeTrust]

I'm going.

sitting in the Coaches Club. Best tickets in the NFL. CAN'T WAIT.

Do you have compromising pictures of Woody Johnson or something?

[Purple Nurple]

How much did those cost and like the guy above said, how did you score them?

[#23]

My boyfriend sells PSL's for the Jets. (against my will) He won a sales contest and was given coaches club seats for the Giants Jets preseason game, so went to the game together. (in our Ravens hats) Club was sort of just like an upgraded cafeteria, but the food was free. Only sweet thing as a fan is you have the opportunity to watch the post game press conference in person live in the club. I don't know, I guess for 30,000 dollar seats, I was expecting something more. Even worse, the majority of the fans in this section don't know the difference between a cornerback and a quarterback. I'd rather be in the uppers.

[Purple Nurple]

$30,000?!?!?! Thats just ridiculous.

[DHaran]

My friends and I got 4 lower level endzone tickets for $230 a piece with a parking pass on ebay. Sadly I am the only Ravens fan among them, but I will be rocking my Suggs jersey regardless.
