Update: BRB Tailgate For Monday Night Football (11/23/09)

PrintJudging from the response to the initial call to action, the inaugural BRB Tailgate just might happen. The details:
DATE: Monday, November 23, 2009.
TIME: 4 p.m. CST.
WHERE: Orange Lot of Reliant Stadium.
WHAT TO BRING: Food and Drink.
The purpose of this post is to gauge who can bring various tailgating essentials--coolers, ice, chairs, grill, tent (if anyone has one), etc. Many of us are going to be parking in another lot and walking over to the Orange Lot, and lugging that sort of stuff through Reliant Park isn't very practical. What would be ideal, of course, is for those attendees who are planning on parking in the Orange Lot to step up and volunteer to bring that stuff. If you've got an Orange Lot pass and are up for contributing to the cause in the form of cooler space, ice, chairs, and the like, please commit in the Comments below.
An additional question for the Orange Lot parkers...what time can you arrive? If we're aiming for the area targeted in Texans-Brocos' map(s), we're going to have to have several vehicles lined up and ready to go when the lot opens (presumably at 3:30 p.m.). Is anyone up for that? If not, we'll simply have to grab whatever space we can when enough of our vehicles arrive.
Any other issues or concerns? Raise 'em in the Comments.

Is it clothing optional?
I still don’t know my status for a trip. Sadly. I hate my job.

Glad to hear it wasn't "lost your job bad"

well...
I might now be able to go. My life is more manic-depressive than the Texans!
Note to self: Insert something witty here.
Well, you CAN'T come now...
I’ve already paid for your replacement!!

Any truth?
To what someone posted previously about the BESF’s possibly wearing oil derricks on MNF? That has preoccupied my day and I can’t shake the thought of those fucks (at least the biggest fuck) having the gall to show up in our house sporting luv ya blue.

Haven't Seen That Confirmed Anywhere
I was also under the impression that the AFL uniforms are only put into play when both teams playing the game were AFL franchises.
Looking forward to a day when being a Texans fan doesn't mean that April is the highlight of my season...
Yes.
And the uniforms have to be approved by the league when the schedule is released (or shortly thereafter).
The 2 “old school” uni’s have been used by the BE-SF’s and against former AFL teams.
Now, Bud might show up with a bird or two, before he joins Al Davis in the dementia stable of NFL owners?
I'm not sure this is entirely true
because the Chiefs (an AFL team, formerly the Dallas Texans) wore their throwbacks against the Dallas Cowboys (who I’m pretty sure weren’t ever in the AFL). I do think they have to be pre-approved though, so I don’t think they’ll be able to wear them.
On the other hand, I’m not sure what the punishment would be if they just showed up wearing the oil derricks. It could be forfeiture, but more likely just a fine. If it was just a fine, I could see Beelzebub ponying up the cash to stick to Houston.

KC - Dallas
was a case of the old vs. the new. Just like Monday Night. Besides, does anyone know what the “scheduled” BESF uniforms are for MNF? I can’t find that anywhere. On another note, the Texans web site kicks their web sites ass. Yet another reason to be thankful for Bob McNair. /sign of the cross /kiss hand /point to sky.

And crippling CJ and VY both if they show up in those unis..

The Texans are good, but we are healthy again. It’s over
You were healthy before
…and lost in your house. What other excuse ya got for this ending up any differently? VY just wins?

Were you healthy last year on Monday Night Football?

I don't remember the BESF's not being healthy this year
at least not physically. Who/what has been hurt? Vodka’s drinking arm? VY’s crying hands?

When we beat your the first time? I remember fuckface being on the field playing corner. I remember fuckface 2(the other corner) and fuckface 3(the fs) getting beat early and often.

well you see,
our starting CB when we played you was Nick Harper. That’s as good as having no one on the field. He gets my nomination for most worthless NFL player. Now our starting corner is Rod Hood. He has 3 consecutive ints in his three games he has played for us.

Were you healthy
in Week 2, when our team beat you in your own house, despite having a defense choreographed by Benny Hill?
Yay, sports.
I can bring CHAIRS if I can find a reasonably priced Orange Lot Pass.

I will bring a cooler with Ice and my grill
Also I can and will show up when the gates open. Has anyone considered a pony keg or 2 of our favorites so that people don’t have to carry beer all the way across the stadium. We could all just throw in a $10 or something to help? Just a thought

PS Grill has plenty of space but if you want
Veggy burgers you will have to bring your own grill as don’t want soy products contaminating my meat.

Two Coolers (maybe more)
I’ll have two coolers stocked with ice for anyone needing space for beverages. I’ll be pining for chairs from some of my buds, so hopefully that will work out. What would the group think of having a beer pong table out there? I’ve got a bud who has one that folds up into a suitcase that I could probably convince to let me borrow for the game…just trying to pull my weight.

Re: Beer Pong Table
Sounds like a fine idea, provided there’s room for it.
Looking forward to a day when being a Texans fan doesn't mean that April is the highlight of my season...
beer pong...
Outdoors, in the wind? Do you guys really need a reason to drink this badly?
Bacon tastes good... Pork chops taste good.
Competition + drinking
Since we are all sports fans that enjoy competition, and it seems that drinking has lots of support on this board, I figured beer pong would be a good combination. If it’s too windy, flip cup or other games work. Either way, just figured I’d throw it out there to gauge interest.
And trust me I have all the reasons I need to drink (finish med school tests that day + severe hatred of the opposing team + MNF), I don’t NEED another one…just want one.
7 days and counting…

Oh, I have no problem with GAMES at all!
Just thought I’d point out that it might be windy.
Quarters is a pretty wind-resistant game.

Be sure to DVR the game.
You boys won’t remember shit. /speaking from experience

I'm down to get there at 3:30.
I will bring two more coolers and ice, as well. I will also have my friend Matt with me, he is a TIT fan so don’t hold it against me when you see me with a guy in a VY jersey, he can tell you guys that VY is just a winner.

not to bring you down or anything
but VY hasn’t played a legit team like us. bills are shit, 49ers can either kill you or be killed and the jags are much of the same. we are somewhat streaky but not as much as those teams. plus 2/3 of those games was at home. texans got this one.

I can't get an Orange Lot pass
I’m not willing to pay $100 for one when I already have a Yellow Lot pass, so I will be walking over. But I will be on vacation, so I should be there rather early. My cooler has wheels, so I will be rolling over with some Beer.

I will probably show up with a coozy!
There is so much food and drink around. Sustenance should not be an issue…I might bring a chair.
I suppose if all of the stars, moons and planets align it could be possible, but what are the chances of that?
wish i were there
i live within 3-5 miles of stadium, but SADLY, I do not have a ticket. Sadly, I don’t much love my job either, but it pays the bills for me, my ex-wife and 2 girls…
meaningful football games in '08...MAKE THAT 09
Just walk in and tailgate
It’s free and permitted. Word on the street is that there are plenty of folks that hang out in the parking lot during the game anyway.
Just go to enjoy the tailgating.
It’s free to walk into the parking lots.

OK so if we want to CONVOY in, we need to meet up somewhere, like say the Pappasito's parking lot at around 3:00 or so and then go over together so we can get parking together.

Pappasito's Convoy
I think that’s a great idea. I’ll be walking into the Orange Lot, so I won’t be convoying in, but meeting at that Pappasito’s right across 610 from Reliant sounds like a perfect rallying point for those with parking passes.

Meet you there
I’ll be walking in, but I’ll be there with y’all

But with the big Inaugural BRB tailgate coming up, it would be an injustice to not include the barbecue brilliance of our man MDC to make sure your meat is treated with the respect it so richly deserves. I’ve personally used this guide toward much fan fare and I’m sure it will do the same for you. /feels like an infomercial.

Don't feel bad...
I go pull it up and give it a skim just about every time I fire up the pit.
Bacon tastes good... Pork chops taste good.
What a great write up.
Let me just say one thing, The “grill” I am bringing is exactly that a Propane powerd grill. Mostly for simplicty of transport and since we wont have 6 or more hours to cook I assumed that the grilling method would be exceptable. However if there are die hard “pit BBQ” guys a can probably make some reasonable arrangements.

Typically
Any pit BBQ or smoking has to be done prior to the game. Like a half a day or more. Just my two cents.

Agreed, I just wanted to warn people that it is a grill not a pit
