Going to the Game (the final '08 thread)

[Gwreck]

Sorry that we'll be missing the picnic thing -- but we'll wave to you in the bleachers from our seats.

Was there last night and am going to all of the remaining games this year. I expect to be either incredibly excited for the postseason or insufferably cranky. There will be no in-between.

Apparently, we'll be somewhere in the loge boxes.

[HahnSolo]

I'll be there Friday night.

We're going to the picnic game Wed too. According to Silverman's site,
the picnic area doesn't open until 6? Anyone know or remember if you
can still get to the picnic area from the regular stadium seats in case we
want to wander in earlier as we're probably going to show up early?

Anyone have any experience parking at the Stamford, CT Metro North station? I'll be in Fairfield County visiting high schools all day Wednesday and Thursday, so it's easiest for me to hop on a train up there.

[Guest Kong76]

Stamford's a pretty big station. I haven't done it in awhile, but a number of
times I've driven there from central Westchester and left our car there over-
night taking the Amtrak to Boston and never had a problem.

Seawolf - I haven't parked there, but maybe South Norwalk will be easier for you? I'm jumping on the 1:40 out of South Norwalk, and meeting up with g-fafif at GCS...

[seawolf17]

Hmm. That would work, but I probably won't get out of Stratford until 1:30ish at the absolute earliest (my visit is at 1:15). That'd be cutting it pretty close to catch that train. I don't want to hold you guys up, though.

Unless I hopped on at Stratford...

But I'm staying in Danbury tomorrow night -- easiest to hop on 7 and head up that way, so South Norwalk makes sense. But there's no way I make the 1:40, so it'd have to be the 2:40.

That's why I originally picked Stamford; seemed to be more trains there, going and coming back.

I'll PM you my cell; maybe we'll just try to catch up at the game.
