    Phoenix AZ!!! That is all I am going to say! Well that isn’t true as you all know me better than that!

    The Dolphins are playing the Cardinals in Arizona this year. This game is THE GAME that will host a multitude of members from this site! The list is growing weekly and it will be the BIGGEST event in “ThePhins” history! Other FINFAN sites will have attendance there as well!

    The schedule for this game will be released next Thursday 4/3/08. Once that schedule is released, I plan to start providing assistance in scheduling low-cost airfare, hotel rooms and transportation for all!:hi5:

    Now this was an idea that one of our favorite persons started about 2 months ago. We all know him as Fin Fan In Cali! He is the ultimate in supporting gatherings amongst our brothers and sisters! His goal is to meet every member on this site and other sites as well! While that is a lofty goal, I intend to help him meet that goal!:up:

    In support of FFIC, I am taking the C2C (Coast to Coast) FINS to this game as well. The C2C FINS will be playing against the Cardinals’ fan forum the day before the game. 2 football games in 1 weekend! Can it get much better than that? Well it could but only if you are in attendance at the game. There will be a VERY SPECIAL prize awaiting someone when they attend this outing… What will that be? You need to show before you know!!!:wink2:

    So let’s all pay attention to the announcement of the schedule next week and plan accordingly… I will promise you this right now, if you don’t attend, you will miss the biggest event known on the forums! :up:

    I am like a kid in a candy store about this game! I am looking forward to shaking hands, talking, and just having a Barley Pop or two with the great Brothers and Sisters. :ffic:As Brother Ken said, my goal is to meet as many of the family as I possibly can. I want to put a site name with a face. I will definitely be taking a lot of pics of the family.:wink2: If you can make it to this game it would be awesome! Would love to get a big group picture as well.

    Thanks brother I appreciate you getting this going!:hi5:

    Well a monkey wrench has been thrown in my direction, in this endeavor.
    Allegent Air has been flying a diect route from my town of Santa Maria to Phoenix on mondays and fridays. Well this week Allegent decided to cut out many routes, including the Santa Maria to Phoenix one (also Ft. Wayne, Indiana, and Piedmont, NC to Ft. Lauderdale routes were also cut out) at the end of May.:sad:

    This definitely complicates things for my plans.:no:

    Ive been waiting on this game for a while! I attend all the somewhat local games they play here close to Albuquerque New Mexico. I sat 50 yard line 1st row Sunday night when the Phins played the Broncos when Mare and Elam had a kick off in the last min of the 4th quarter. I remember Elam kicked that 40 yarder and then we drove back down and Mare hit that 50 yarder! Everyone was talking so much trash to me and my friend and then we came back and beat them on a last second FG! That was a awesome game! My head was never higher leaving a football game!

    I also remember flying to Phoenix to morning of the San Diego fires when they moved the game from SD to PHX. Monday night game in the beautiful desert! I cant remember if we won but it was a FREE game that night since they moved it.

    Sorry to ramble but I will be there hell or high water! Cant wait to meet all of you and start and new tradition here at ThePhins.com!

    GOd man I so badly want to go, this schedule needs to come out so I can set it up. I just hope it is not close to the Seattle game as there is a 99% chance of me flying to that one. I WOULD LOVE TO MEET EVERYONE THERE.

    My thoughts exactly. Starting in late May, I have an ungodly travel schedule through to the new year. I really hope this game falls on a favorable date for me.

    You can always go to a Dolphins game in September if you think it's hot in Arizona.

    Well, at least it's not humid in Arizona... More of a dry-heat. Hopefully the C2C guys can handle that heat though.

    Well not the best date for the game:no: The next week would have been better for me.
    The good thing is no home Cal Poly game that week:yes:
    Not so good things, a 2 day golf tournament I was going to play in, and it is a couple of days after I get back from a baseball trip(Angels/Yankees in Anaheim). Also my brother's birthday where usually a wild party is done.

    I have to see on this

    I'm in...no doubt about it. I may not be able to leave though until Mid-day Saturday as my boy plays on Saturdays. There will be 4 of us Finfan...
    You can reach me at DOLFANMIKE@aol.com

    This will be my first time organizing a trip with such a large group. Are tickets the only thing we will try to get a deal on or are we going to try to get rooms, flights, etc as a group.

    I'm in the Riverside, California area and if anyone else is flying out of Ontario on Saturday the 13th after 7 pm let me know. I'm going to get a room in Glendale with my family and rent a car along with the flight.

    Ken is MIA over the past two days. Strange...anyhoo. Looking good for me. It is gonna be hot, but worth it.

    I am planning on bringing the Lady of Samphin along with me (thus screwing up my barhopping, girl trapping plans...oh well) as she is good luck for the fins and they have never lost when she is present...either in person or in front of the TV (in fact, the only game she watched last year was the Ravens game...which convinced me that she holds the power for the fins...)

    Plus, added bonus of having a photographer/videographer with us to document the whole weekend of debaouchery!

    This week is the week from hell! Total kaos! Anyway, I will be in from time to time as time allows...:up:

    I am going to start a signup sheet for those that want to attend the game. If everyone that said they were coming comes, I should be able to rent half a hotel!

    In addition to reserving hotel rooms, I can also help in scheduling flights and car rentals. Since this is only April and we have 5 months to prepare for this, prices should be great!

    Once i get all the stuff together, I will be posting a sticky here, in this forum that I will update weekly with deals on flights and such.

    Also, for you C2C FINS, I need you to send me an updated sheet as requested in the C2C FINS Forum!

    I also will be speaking with the CARDS front office once I can get a head count and check on buying tickets for the game. I am hoping that they can get us all in 1 area of the stadium. Chances are better if I can gaurantee a purchase of a bulk order! The sooner I can get that head count, the better my chances are at getting tickets for everyone!

    So watch for the next thread "Committed to AZ". I only want your needs listed in this thread. If you need airfare, hotel, car, tickets, etc...
    ONLY PUT that information in the thread. If I find a post that deviates from that, IT WILL BE DELETED!


    QUESTIONS? NO? GOOD!!:up::hi5::lol:

    Also, Ken, I sent you the C2C E-mail last week, so I should be up to date. And I will now be going over to the other thread to confirm my existance! :woot:
