Delaware Game Tailgate?

[Dove]

Amtrak to/from Newark, DE station, < 1 mile to/from Delaware Stadium. Easy walk, sidewalks & parking to stadium.

First year, FBS-level Blue Hens’ 1st ever home game with FBS opponent. Likely sell out.

Trap game.

Trap game.

UConn focused on 12 noon ET kickoff in Syracuse.
Delaware flying to DEN, then on to Boulder for 3:30 MT (5:30 pm ET) kickoff, then schlepping back to DEN, on to likely PHL. If not chartering, only direct commercial Sat night flights, Frontier midnight MY redeyes. Or, connections via CLT, IAD, etc.

Beat citrus!

We are meeting family from the Philly area several of whom are UD alums. We will peacefully break bread together before the game.

Just as a side not, the Delaware Athletic Dept called my daughter to ask her if she needed any information, recommended parking ( said park in the Hen lots. The others aren’t worth the money!). Even sent a list of restaurants for getting a post game meal. Quite a different approach from UConn’s How much money do you have? Give it to us! LOL

I received an email from UD regarding parking. Single game reserved parking spots go from $60 to $150. Quite a bit more expensive than UConn.

Guess that nobody complains that 84% of their AD revs come from institutional support or they would be asking. how much money you have, give it to us on roughly half our budget.

You can find parking a lot cheaper at small lots surrounding the stadium (e.g. St. Paul’s Lutheran Church). You can also park in some of the UD lots further out where there is some transport to stadium. I’m a UConn alum living in Delaware with a UD alum husband. We had UD season tickets for more than 30 yrs. It really is pretty easy to park. There is also a lot of easy parking at the Star complex across the street (old Chrysler plant).

There is a parking thread on the UD message board, The Roost, that addresses this somewhat also.

When I bought the game tickets I paid $20 for one of the first come first serve parking in one of the lots that appear to be just a few minutes walk to the stadium, but yeah the reserved parking seemed high.

I just bought a $20 space today. Looks to be about 500 yards to the stadium.

Where is the "tailgating menu" thread, I want to see someone who's going to have this on the menu

Exactly. If there isn't some form of roasted chicken on the menu they're doing it wrong.

@dvegas note foil covered aluminum pans next to all the hot dogs. Just a guess but me thinks they contain ............
Chicken cordon bleu. 😉

Hopefully stewed chicken post-game ;-)

Tomorrow's game time forecast for Newark, Delaware:

Shaping up to be a good day...I hope when I come back tomorrow I can say it was a great day for us!

 

[ZOOCONN]

Chicken cheese steak subs with other snacks and brats with onions and peppers for post game. Let’s go boys. Leave no doubt.
