Jax Game

[RavenTroy]

Are they doing a big tailgate in Jax on the waterfront this year for the MNF game 10/24

[Real Fan Dan]

If I hear of any I'll let you know. Please do the same. Members of our Roost just bought 28 tickets in Sect 437. 35 yard line within 10 rows of the upper deck rail. $70 a pop.

Now we need that tail gate spot! :glasses:

[Captain Offense]

Keep everybody up to date. I have 7 guys going in and will look for the Purple.

Are they doing a big tailgate in Jax on the waterfront this year for the MNF game 10/24

Hey Troy: were you at Metropolitan Park for that last big tailgate party in 2007? I co-hosted that, along with Wade. We had around 400 Ravens fans at the pavillions on the St. John River, about 1/3rd from this message board or Scout.

If you didn't know: there was a couple who met there prior to the 1999 game, and got married there prior to the 2000 game. From two different Ravens Roosts.

I have no idea if any Ravens fans have the park rented this year -- I did my share of hosting events on road trips in the '00s and will just be on the sidelines for future road trips. I'll likely be going to the Jax game, heading up from Cocoa Beach one week stay, and will cruise by the park to see if any Ravens fans are there this year.

Tickets just went on sale on ticketmaster - Just bought 2 in section 123, row W for 80 bucks each. Still plenty of seats avaiable

[Nightman]

I will be going with Sherry's aka Ravenette's group which is having I think a private VIP Tailgate in one of the Cabanas. I'm staying at the Omni for 5 days and 4 nights. Ravenette says there is going to be a big Ravens fan invasion of Jacksonville and I think I'll see a lot of it at Jacksonville Landing. I got a better deal on airfare going out of Reagan National, than I would have flying Southwest out of BWI. I paid $221.40 on Delta Connection nonstop round-trip to Jacksonville, the only other fee is $25 for baggage each way on Delta.

Ticketmaster has a function for some stadiums now where you actually "pick your seat"

The Pick Your Seat option is available for this game. You can actually zoom down to the Section/Row/Seat to see exact seats that are available for purchase.

The upper deck is about a mile from the field at the Jags stadium so I won't be sitting up there.. I'll be down in the lowers or clubs on the Ravens side. But will definitely want to know "where da party at" prior to the game.

[Ravenswintitle]

Not sure if I'm going to this one but I probably will.. keep posting updates please

[RavenTroy]

Any news on Tailgating or Raven Rally's yet

[Baltimorlando]

I dont know any of you guys but we will going up from Orlando, never been before. I will just be lookin for some purple people to party with : ) MNF baby!!!!

[Mista T]

I just booked flights and lodging. I'll be driving up the morning of the game from Cocoa Beach. I assume that some Ravens group will be having a party at Metro park again (I co-hosted a 400+ party there at the last Jax game, and every previous game there was always at least one Ravens Roost there). Based on the unavailability of Jax-BWI airline seats the day after the game, I anticipate that there will be a decent showing of our fans.

If anyone knows where there will be purple congregations, post it here!

[RavenTroy]

Mista T, keep us informed on any Tailgate plans you find

[nickh0801]

Got my 3 tickets in section 229. My buddy is stationed in Jax so he got them for me with his military discount.

[Ravenboy2003]

I'm really hoping with the Jags pretty much packing it in already that we make a lot of noise and give Chucky and Jaws a chance to talk about the large number of Ravens fans that made the trip.

Got the same price from Delta as well from Reagan. Flying out Saturday morning and flying back Tuesday afternoon.

I did some research and shuttles and taxis cost around $40 each way from Jacksonville International to the hotel.
The group I'm with got bumped to the Wyndham Riverfront Jacksonville due to the Omni being overbooked.

We are at the Hampton Inn across the river from the stadium. That's what I found for a taxi fee as well. Still looking for a tailgate and hopefully will meet up with some of you.

[bigdonpaul]

We are considering getting a van at the airport. Are there big tailgate lots and parking lots around the stadium?

[Nightman]

I did find a better deal on airport shuttles; GO Airport Shuttle of Jacksonville charges around $20 to $25 each way from JIA to the Wyndham Jacksonville Riverfront for a shared van. Google "GO Airport Shuttle of Jacksonville" for more information or call (904) 353-8880 or (800) 394-0116.

There's a large cash lot about 1/4 to 1/2 mile from the stadium, which probably will be OK for you. We parked there for the 2000 game. It was OK, sandy surface, not scenic. It is east of the stadium, just past the Hart Street approach viaduct, bounded by Adams, Bryan, Talleyrand. You may want to find out from lot manager first: 904-353-1126 www.tailgatersparking.com.

Alternatively, check out with the Jaguars ticket office about the availability of Lot Q, the oversized vehicle lot next to Metropolitan park (which should be a Ravens fan tailgating location, based on past experience). Great location, on the St.John River and 10 minute walk to the stadium.

Both lots are on the map at:

They have plenty of parking around that toilet bowl of a stadium... Nevermind that 8000 seats are covered and the game still isn't sold out (and probably won't be). Nothing like having a MNF game blacked out in your own city. Pathetic.

Keep in mind the taxi is one fee, the Shuttle is per person.

4 guys in a taxi is $10 each plus tip.

[Ravenboy2003]

There are two entire ROWS of club level tickets on sale for $87 a piece on Ticket Exchange right now. 25 seats in Section 233 Row AA and 25 seats in row BB.

Hottest ticket in town.. LOL

Don't think so. I've been to several games there that weren't sellouts, and there didn't appear to be parking available in the adjacent stadium lots, which are sold to the season ticket holders.

Hmmmmmmmmmmm .... tempting! Thanks for the info. Another good example of why to be patient buying tickets to road games.

I bought 20 yd line lowers on Ticketmaster about 3 weeks ago for fave value. End of row, about 25 rows up. Try that anywhere else other than Jacksonville.

[Ravenboy2003]

And yes, there are pay lots around the stadium as well as a couple blocks away by the minor league baseball stadium and arena area.. I parked there the last two games I've gone to there, including a Colts MNF game a couple years back that was technically "sold out".

[mdterps0226]

Any news about organized Ravens tailgates or anything? We are looking into doing the "BMore Around Town" tailgate (http://www.bmorearoundtown.com/events/view.php?event=WDP) but didn't know much about it or if there were any other options out there.

Anybody ever done anything with Bmore Around Town?

[mdterps0226]

Well looks like that Bmore Around Town tailgate was cancelled.

[bigdonpaul]

Anyone have experience with the Tailgate bar and Grill? That's where we are meeting some friends for a tailgate and also where WNST is having a party.

[Ravenboy2003]

Jax landing also has an outdoor party that starts at like 4PM and offers water taxi to the stadium as well.
