Suggestions for a good road game

cajun911 · 02-15-2010, 08:47 PM

Four friends and myself are looking to go to a road game next year. I've never been to an away game and was wondering if any of you could give me an idea of what would be a good one. Our away games next year are: Cincinnati, Baltimore, Arizona, San Francisco, Dallas, Atlanta, Carolina and Tampa Bay. And by good I mean a cool city where the fans might not be too brutal (Chicago or Philly types). I would appreciate any advice you could give me.

Panthers fans are high and mighty when they're winning. Otherwise it's great. Charlotte is a terrible place to visit though. Nothing to do here.

A good friend of mine is a Bungles fan, I have friend that lives in Tampa. I'd like to go back to Carolina. The Pittsburgh game is at the Dome. I would say anyone these should be cool for me. I just need to find the money.

Thanks for the suggestions guys. Dallas was one we were looking at. Its not that far, and I would love to see the cowgirls get smoked in person.

Dallas would be a great road game to go to. One thing I don't to give Jerry Jones a dime of my money.

Well, I've been to three previous Saints/49ers games, at Candlestick, in San Francisco, and I've always had a blast. The fans are great, the pre game festivities are awesome. Good food, good company. Believe it or not, ALOT of Saints fans show up for it too. Then, of course you get to hang out in one of the most beautiful cities in the world afterwards.

Not to mention, having some more Saints fans out here, always helps the cause.

Just wondering, since you mentioned, "The Stick", if you possess a ""croix de Candlestick" or ever got to witness the "Crazy Crab" do his thing?

Nah, I've never been to a Giants game. They moved over to At&t Park, on the Embarcadero years ago. VERY NICE facilities, right next to the Bart station, so you can get there really easy.

The first game I went to at the stick was Saints/49ers, back in 99. Great tailgating, and just a historic park all the way around. Some of the fans are bad, but overall, they are all pretty cool.

I lived out there in Mountain View for a while...I got to go to a few games. Had a cop pull 4 tickets from a scalper one time and pull up next to me and ask me if I was looking for tickets. After a long pause of wondering what he was up to, I finally answered, "Yeah, why?"

He says, "Cause I got 4."

Another long pause, and I'm like, "Well...how much do you want for them."

He says, "I'm not selling them...I'm giving them to you." For a second there, I thought I was about to go to jail.

Then the scalper walks by right as the cop drives away and says, "You should pay me for those...he got them from me."

I was like, "OK...got to go to the ATM first...wait right there."

I hope he didn't wait.
