Who is going to the Lions game?

fhotard · 01-03-2012, 01:34 PM

I'm going to be in town for the weekend, but haven't even looked at ticket prices... they're probably outrageous.
Cancelled my Saturday night dinner reservations just in case I can get a couple tickets.

Where's a good place in New Orleans to watch the game, other than from inside the Superdome?

That being said, if anyone on here has two extra tickets that won't break the bank, let me know, please!!

We want to go so bad. I found some great seats...was gonna buy them on stubhub, but got online first to see if I could find a hotel...which I could NOT for less than $600.00 a room per night in a decent place...then the airfare went up from $200.00 per person roundtrip from Houston to $353.00 per person.....so with us trying to take a customer with us, the whole thing would have been pushing a little over 5 grand to go!!! Ugh.

i may be driving down from Missouri. When I went to the Last Lions/Saints game, I stayed in Matairie at a fraction of the cost of staying downtown.
Looked up game tickets, I can find 'em for about $145 each.

Would love to make it back down there for a playoff game. What a fun town/great place to see a game.

We are staying in Metairie. Let me know if you make it down.

We're coming to New Orleans. Tickets in hand.
I usually hang out with Budsdrinker and co. and hope to see some of
you there. Due to hotel prices, Im sure we're going to stay in the boonies, but we'll be hanging around before and after the game. And those of you driving from Texas and from NWLA, chances are well be
on the I-10 Caravan with you too. I love to stop in Lafayette, or Henderson for a first class Cajun dinner.

... and we now live One Hour Closer to New Orleans!

It's on now, leaving Houston at 8am Saturday morning, getting to New Orleans around 3 (pit stop in Lafayette) and then driving back to Houston after the game cause my brother and I work Sunday morning.

Texans fans want to talk **** but I doubt their fan base would do that for thier team

Brandon! What is up, dude? You and Mrs need to geaux exactly five minutes off your path, right before the bridge, take a left, and see my awesome swamp house!

In fact, you'll be hitting us around 9, since you're leaving at 8, so we can actually caravan it. I pit in Lafayette also, and in La Place. (cmon, Im old.)

Come to think of it, do yall want to stay at my house Friday night? You'll be an hour closer, & we're 5 min. off I-10. extra hour of sleep + no stupid Houston traffic = 2 hours more energy. I got room.

Who else is in the I-10 Who Dat Caravan from Texas?
