    I think I am going to this game. Will probably bring the girl along as well as she loves Sandy Eggo.

    Just gotta get some tickets.

    Last year when I went to the Cal Poly game down at the Murph, I was sitting in row 17 behind the visitors bench. It was a good view, but if you get down below row 7 there will be viewing problems. Also it is a major pain to get to the lower deck. Ground level is actually at the top of deck #2. To get to the lower deck you have to go down 4 flights of stairs, then up another half flight to get to the top row of the lower deck.

    Usually when I come down to San Diego, I usually come down by the train, and usually stay at the Holiday Inn Bayside at the Embarcardero. It is pretty close to the train station, and the trolley. The trolley will get you to the Murph, and the trolley makes a stop pretty close to Seau's.
    Also that Holiday Inn is across the street from Anothony;s Grotto, which is probably my favorite seafood restaurant in the world.

    Thanks Brother Michael. Hopefully I will get to see you and your mom again. Okay here goes. If you want to travel to a game where the weather will be beautiful, you will meet great brothers and sisters, and see your beloved Dolphins play, then come to San Diego.:yes:

    My firend and I are considering renting a Motorhome to come down.

    Anyone know if Qualcomm would allow us:

    a) to park there (or somewhere) Sat night
    b) does Qualcomm allow tailgating??? There's no point getting a motorhome if they don't.

    My friend and his group have season tickets. Wife of one of the buddies is preggo, so I have a ticket bar none (I'm the only Miami fan around, so it's reserved for me).

    Thing is, my breadwinner, ma lady, would also want to go so I am trying to buy at least two tickets for us. But no matter what, I'm coming! Woohoo!

    congrats on the job front too FFIC, I didn't even know until right now. That's just as good news as the Fins coming back to my home town so i can see them whoop the chargers again.

    Been a few years since we knocked them out of the playoffs with Chambers tearing them up for two TDs.

    EDIT: Should do a mass phin visit to Seau's the night before haha. Might be fun (and hopefully not rowdy)

    Thanks bro. If you want to see Dolphin players you need to get to Seau's around 2 or 3:00pm.

    Brother you will need to contact the Chargers office. I know that RV's parking went up to I believe 150.00 a game, and they are limited to parking in one area I believe. I am not sure if you have to get parking for them in advance or if it is first come first serve basis. I will try to ask my friend Brian tomorrow. I am just very busy with work, and helping my wife after work on a new business venture. If you don't hear back from me, please send me a reminder pm, and I will make sure to follow through bro.:hi5:

    Thanks, John.

    Depending on the additional costs and hoops to jump through, it may prove easier to do a hotel than an RV. lol.

    Bro I spoke to very nice gal named Shawn at Ace Parking. Her direct line is 619-230-0173. She doesn't think the price will go up from last year. It is a 150.00 to park your RV at The stadium. If you show up there they will let you in two hours before the game to park your RV. They now all park in one area. If you go to the Chargers website, and buy your pass through them, they will let you in three hours before game time. The last time I was there about 4 years ago they started asking us to leave around 6:00pm when the game ended at 4:00pm. This may have changed so you may want to give Shawn a call, or ask the Chargers on there website.

    Thanks John! You're awesome.

    I've been looking into RV rentals and they all want a three night minimum, so not sure I'll go that way. Wondering weather to go bush-league and get a U-haul with a couch and livingroom set in the back for tailgating instead.

    Doesn;t solve the sleeping problem though, unless my buddies and I sleep in the back of the u-haul. lol. I'd be too afraid I'd suffocate if I closed the door.

    Guess it's time to actually look into hotels.

    They used to stay for years at the Marriot, but I'm still not sure where they stayed last time they were down. I stayed with my son at the Marriot and we were told they switched to a newer hotel. I think I remember it being the Hyatt. I do remember that they told me it was northeast of the Marriot (on the other side of the stadium from the Marriott). Anyhow - so far I still do not know for sure where the Fins will be staying.

    We will meet here on Saturday like at 2:00pm. If you have kids you may want to get there. The team eat here last time they were in town. They signed autographs. I got Junior's when I was there as I just missed the players. I just sent Seau's and email to let them know we would be coming with a group.

    My tentative plans are to fly out to Miami for the Bills & Jets games the following two weeks so I don't know if I'll be able to convince the wife to let me hit this one as well. But since I'm in Nor Cal and one of my best friends lives down in Vista I should be able to make a decent argument :-)

    Hey Team,

    Can't confirm for sure yet, but we are very close to buying a vacation house in SoCal. If we aquire it before september, i'll be making my first trip down coincidentially the same time as the phins/chargers game haha.

    I'll know more in mid august, but if we buy a place down there, i'll be about 1 1/2 hrs from SD, so i will join the bretheren from the phins for some tailgaiting and hopefully a ticket for the game.

    I am working on the tailgate with my friend Brian. He has upgraded with some of his friends to two 50 motor homes. I asked him if he was going to have his RV there. He said he wasn't going to spend a 1000.00 for season RV parking pass. I guess you can't just buy one weekend at a time. He will let me know. I told him if he did get the pass for the RV, and we tailgated, I would make sure he had to pay nothing out of pocket for the Dolphins vs Charger game. So he said he would be in touch with me as to what will be going down.:wink2:

    I called a group that does NFL travel packages and they said the hotel contracts havent been settled yet. They will call me as soon as it's finalized and I'll be buying my tickets and hotel package through them, unless of course I can get a better deal.

    that's my birthday! it's a sign... :shifty:

    but anyway, I received a conditional job offer (WOOT) on friday pending a physical (tomorrow) and psych evaluation (later this week) to become a Police Dispatcher at UCLA. If all goes well they want me to start june 15th, which means i'll have about a month to save up some monies so I can get me some tickets to the game!

    These tix are gonna be #1 priority (even before things like.. you know.. rent :lol:)

    If anyone is staying in the Oceanside/Carlsbad area that weekend, you can ride along to Seau's and the game. I just need to know ahead of time. I have a designated driver for Seau's on Saturday. Last time this Charger fan that weighed about 140 lbs, and his buddy, the same size, got in my face in front of his girlfriend, and smacked me on my chest. Some Dolphin fans told my boy Scott your boss is in some trouble down at the bar. He said tell me when there is 6 or more.:lol: We just laughed and left. We will have a great time.:up:
