Who will be in Denver?

Glad you asked Rocky.

This lot is a "secret lot" so don't go telling everyone (like I am now).

A lady whose family who has had Broncos season tix since the 60's told me about it at a Quiznos last season. The lot is a FREE lot located in a commercial parking area on 13th Ave. on the east side of the I-25 overpass, and the tenants don't care if people park there. Some light tailgating even occurs here before the game. Walking to the stadium takes maybe 15 minutes (with 5 of those minutes occuring within the large Invesco parking lot) and it's easy to landmark your path because there are smoke stacks on the corner of 13th and Zuni St. (that north-south street on the map). At the corner of Zuni and Colfax is Mile High Station, the bar I was talking about earlier.

We have arrrived back in Colorado after four days of a Yellowstone side trip. I've already spoken to MikeK, who is staying in the mountains nearby us at Dillon, near Breckinridge. Purple Poe should be hooking up with me in about 11 hours at the Navy-Air Force game in Colorado Springs, which should be the first half of a sweep by Maryland teams.

Anyone interested in coming up to the mountains on Sunday afternoon: our Keystone place is but an hour's drive past Golden via I-70. PM or e-mail me at mista_t_ravens@hotmail.com for directions.

btw, FadeToBlack: your bar is but a 10 minute walk to our tailgate party. You don't have a hair on your ass if you don't walk over to join the tailgate party, currently planned at 41 people, starts 2 pm Lot M.

We may need help at the high altitude downing all the beer!

I'm very sad to report there will be one less Ravens fan at the game on Monday night. The brother of a good friend of ours flew out to CO with friends on Friday, went out to dinner Friday night and died of a heart attack. He was 54 years old. He was an avid Ravens fan, having season tickets since the Ravens came to town. RIP Jimmy.

Damn, now that sucks, I am sorry for your loss. That altitude might have played a part, take your time getting acclimated out there, folks.

**FadeToBlack** · 10-07-2006, 10:55 PM

Damn, now that's a dude who died supporting the Ravens...literally.

I'll try to make it over to lot M and we'll raise a beer in his honor. Damn.

**Mista T** · 10-07-2006, 11:09 PM

Very sad. Please accept my sympathies for your loss, Ms. Sykesville.

Thanks everyone. I asked his brother the same thing (about the altitude sickness) but he said Jimmy went to CO a couple of times a year, every year for a long time, so he doesn't think that had anything to do with it. It's very sad. Jimmy was a great guy and threw the best parties. If you guys want to come over to our tailgate next Sunday, we'll definitely have a drink in his honor. He would have liked that.

I wouldn't think it was an altitude thing myself. It sounds like just terrible timing. As unfortunate as his death might be, the one thing you can be proud of is he died while on a trip across the country to support his favorite team.
