Paging @gunslingerdick @prlyles @Hark_The_Sound_2010 @strummingram @BillyL @coolwaterunc @JuleZ '02 HEEL @coryfly and everyone else on here.....
How would y'all feel about trying to organize an OOTB meetup/tailgate for a home game at Kenan this fall? I think it would be a lot of fun, plus y'all would get to meet me -- that alone is worth the price of attendance. @Raising Heel and I have season tickets right next to each other so we'll be at every home game barring unforeseen events and I know some of y'all go to a few games every season. @heelz2345 and @grillheel are also at virtually every home game as well. I also know some of you like Hark live far away and usually just plan on going to one game a year.
I'm just thinking we do a good, ol' fashioned tailgate for a game, rather than trying to coordinate a dinner or anything like that. Personally, I have a permit to tailgate in the Bowles Lot which I love, but it will be near impossible to secure enough permits for all of you to make that work. However, there's a couple lots I can think of where we could all find parking next to one another (Cardinal Deck comes to mind, as does a lot that's off campus), or we could do the Friday Center Park-and-Ride. That's definitely not my cup of tea but it would be a good way to ensure we all end up next to each other. Another option would be to just all meet on Franklin Street and go bar hopping rather than do a traditional tailgate.
Any interest in this? If not, no worries. If so, I think it could be fun. If I'm not mistaken, coryfly has never been to a football game in Chapel Hill (??), so it would be especially cool if we could get him to the Southern Part of Heaven. I figure we can keep revisit this thread closer to football season but it will remain "alive" thanks to the new message board format and the way it archives threads better.
One suggestion I will make, since some of y'all would have to fly in, it may be best to select the James Madison game on September 17th. I know that isn't an exciting opponent but there's a couple advantages to picking that game. Firstly, more than likely the kickoff time for that game will be made public well before the season starts (as opposed to the rest of the schedule that isn't determined until 12 days before). With that information in hand, we'll be able to plan better. Second, since it isn't a big name opponent, tickets will be cheaper for those who don't already have tickets. That being said, I'm open to any home game!
What do y'all think? It would be cool to meet some of you guys in person.
ETA: For convenience, below is the 2016 home schedule:
9/17 James Madison
9/24 Pitt
10/8 Virginia Tech
11/5 Georgia Tech
11/19 Citadel
(Fri.) 11/25 NC State
