Thanksgiving in Detroit

Farough

Rookie
I have been to many Detroit Tigers games wearing my Angels jerseys and never have had a problem before, during or after the game. I went 8 years ago when Houston was in Detroit and didn't have an issue either. I've never stayed around there overnight, however. Kim and her husband as well as me and my gf are sitting in section 119 row 19 if you can find something around there.

EDIT: Ticket prices definitely seem a lot more reasonable then when I bought them. Guess the Lions performance is bringing them down

Hotwire is running fares from Houston to Detroit for $349-$379 depending on your travel dates. Flights seem to be on Delta & are non-stop. Just booked one from 11/21-11/23 for $359. All other fares are running $475 or more.

This will be the worst game of my LIFE!!! This means I will have to show up at the fam's house many hours before our normal supper and/or Dinner for Thanksgiving (which is usually 2:00 (ish)......... SOooooo basically I won't have a drink until 3 o'clock in the afternoon?!?!?!?

That freakin' SUCKs!!!!

Or it could be the best game of your life - if you fly your butt up to Detroit to see it live with all the other awesome people going....:barman:

I'm putting together something for Thanksgiving Dinner in Detroit. If you want in, I need a count. I've contacted a few places and waiting to hear back. But we need a count of people who are interested so we can make a reservation. Right now I have a soft count of 8 people. If you want in - reply with your name and count. I'd like to get something done soon, so that we're not eating take-out lol.

Can someone send me the link to the facebook group? We go to all the games and are always looking to hang out with other fans. Or you can also add me. I can't imagine there are too many "Carson Hager"s out there. Thanks!

Man... I'm seriously considering this (as it would be much safer than a trip to New Orleans, where Joe does a faceplant and I have no recollection of "the Dungeon" and/or how we got back to the hotel)... The rub is that my family might disown me for missing Thanksgiving Dinner...
:thinking: People TALK about disowning you...but no one ever does. You're like that scruffy stray that's always hanging out in the front yard. We might get sick of looking at you some times, but things simply wouldn't be the same without you and you'd be missed if you were gone. You're just too damned loveable.

:dread:

I will be at the game!

for those of you looking into airfair, I went on priceline, booked from wednesday to saturday (staying till sunday added on a few hundred dollars) and got a room with it. IT came out to just over 800 for two people. Not bad if you ask me.

who all is going and where is the tailgate / party?!?

Don't forget your passports as Windsor Canada is a drive across a bridge or through a tunnel which literally about a mile from the stadium. Great rates at the casinos there and the Caesars there is really nice

Those of you that want to be added to the group -I think you have to be facebook friends with the person who adds you. You'll have to put a link to your profile here or send me a PM with it. I'll add you.

Otherwise, you can wait & read Texans Chick's blog - all the details will get published there.

If you need an easy way to pass along plans to other fans, here's this week's blog post:

Unofficial guide to Texans fan meetups in Detroit

Please spread the word. A lot of people don't do message boards/FB, so plain old word of mouth helps. I was told that some folks brought print outs of this to hand out on the airplane to different fans/or gave people a link. Airplanes are often the best way to spread the word.

:koolaid: BATTLE RED Y'ALL :koolaid:
 
So I'm thinking this will be the game I will travel to this year. Our first thanksgiving game - just can't miss it.

Anyone else plan on making the trip to watch our boys beat up on them lions?
:lion:

There was a blue and white cooler that i gave to Crack. It had the whisky and st arnolds in it. It was an awesome thing to do and it was appreciated by all the lions fans. Crack told me the cooler would definitely get used. Thanks to Derek who i believe brought it and to all with the idea.

I picked up the cooler on the way in. Derek was able to get the alcohol for it all in his luggage. We slapped a big Texas Flag sticker on the inside & loaded it up with the booze. I told Yooperman the cooler & the contents was from all of us as a way to say thanks for their hospitality.
