Everyone-
I’ve put together a bus for the UConn/Army game at Yankee Stadium on November 8th for $50/person.
UPDATED FOR THIRD BUS ADDED
Right now we have three buses (with 115 people confirmed):
Two buses will leave from Manchester at 8:30am, with one stoping at West Farms at approximately 9:00am. The other bus will leave from Manchester at 8:30am and stop in the Cromwell/Meriden area on 91 (Exit 21 or Exit 18), Milford (TBD), and a final stop in Norwalk on 95 (Exit 16). The third bus will leave from Torrington, stopping at West Farms then in Waterbury/Southington. As with all the bus trips I’ve done before, we’ll stop wherever we need to for a large enough group.
UPDATED FOR NEW TAILGATE INFORMATION
There will also be a tailgate that anyone can join- we’ve decided to outsource this one since RedSoloCup and I do enough of these big tailgates on our own and we want to enjoy this one without worrying about hauling the gear, buying food, etc. I’m working with a group that has done Yankee game tailgates before that FfldCntyFan referred me to- it will be $25/person for a menu that will include the basics (burgers, dogs), some additional mains (BBQ chicken, pulled pork), beer (Bud Light), side dishes (mac or potato salad and a garden salad) and desserts. The group I'm working with is developing a blog posting and setting up the payment system on their website so more info on that will come at a later date- you will pay the group directly since I don’t want to deal with the logistics. If you take the bus, you’ll get a $5/person discount on the tailgate. We are trying to get the private parking lot we had originally secured to allow tailgating there (making it an all-UConn lot), but have a back-up option secured in case that doesn't work out. Both lots are very close to the metro north stop and a short walk to the Stadium. We’ll keep you updated. Given how close the game is, we’re expecting over 400 people at this tailgate.
As of now, there are no group rates available through the Yankee ticket office- your best bet is buying directly through the school.
Email me at ryan.p.phalen@gmail.com if you are interested in joining the bus. Tailgate info will come later on this same thread so no need to email me if you want to join the tailgate- just keep checking back here.
