-- UPDATE BELOW, please ck where we're at & what we need.
--HouDatRookie is looking for a ticket.

Blue Lot Pass team:
Operation Popeye is now set:
http://maps.google.com/maps?q=1615+south+loop+houston,+texas&hl=en&ll=29.678806,-95.401626&spn=0.008557,0.013711&sll=29.678825,-95.401475&sspn=0.008557,0.013711&vpsrc=0&t=h&z=16
Lets meet at 2:45 at Sams Lot toward the McDonalds, but away from the gas port. (SE corner of McDonalds)I dont think we're going to have any trouble recognizing each other. Something tells me you have a little bit Saints stuff.
Ed contacted some bigshot from Reliant who suggested we "come out of the parking lot on Fannin and head south about 200 yards, turn right on Belfort and proceed to Kirby on Belfort. Once you hit Kirby turn right and head north to gate entrance 8 or 9 along Kirby."
I'd like to alter that route because if we come out of the parking lot on Fannin, its a left turn...difficult for us to stay together, and we have to cross the metro rail, which is very likely to cut us off. It would be a lot easier to stick together using RIGHT turns, So:
1. We leave the Sams Lot out that little driveway to the right of the McDonalds.
2. turn right. (onto 610 feeder)
3. take the first right, Knight Rd.
4. turn right on Belfort.
5. turn right on Kirby
6. go under 610
7. enter gate 8 or gate 9.
my guess is that we target lot #16, and get close to the Astrodome. This would make us easier for our other friends to find us.
(see link here) Directions & Parking | Reliant Park
btw, we cannot enter from Fannin, and we cannot use gate 5. I scoped it out yesterday. Our options are gates 6,7,8,9.
See you at Sams 2:45.

Where we're at & what we need: CMON, WE NEED A COUPLE GENERATORS! (thanks HouDatRookie for yours)

Did I mention the Saints are staying one street away from my house?
Anybody who wants can come over for breakfast, and we'll see if we can
see them loading up. Theyre gonna leave soon, so I'll say, they're staying
at the marriot, westheimer @ sage... the buses are lined up in the walgreens parking lot. somebody please take pics of the buses!

TAILGATING UPDATE: SCROLL UP A COUPLE POSTS... Im too tired to do any more copy/pasting.

and blue lot pass holders... check that post too, if you dont already
know the battle plan.

bedcheck for me guys.

good morning... Im offline the rest of the weekend... PLEASE BRING CAMERAS!!!!!

---If you have a blue lot pass, and you're not on the list, just follow the directions in my earlier post. we're meeting at Sams 2:45pm.
LETS OWN RELIANT TODAY! GEAUX!

Great job of organizing and representing Mike. Looks like you showed those Texans how tailgating and team support is supposed to be done. I wish I could have been there.
