2009 Baltimore Trip Part II

**TOEMAN** · 08-07-2009, 02:07 PM

Is the number 5 a good number for Terps tickets- Irish 2, Gordon, Dave and me self?

I will start pursuing with "The UKRavens are coming!!!! They need Terps tickets".

I will let you know.

Gordon and I are good to go. Ben is with CJ's family so we are best out of their hair. Just need Irish's 'squeeze' to okay it. (Might not be a goer if she's got a tourist map of DC !!!!)

Don't worry - I'll be there either way, I can't imagine an open top bus tour of DC takes too long! I've been before a few times so I'll know where to go! I'm right in saying it about 30mins from union station to college park, right?

Thanking you! I'll pay anything up to $60 for a Terps ticket, really have no idea how much they are! I've got my cap and T-shirt for the game

Seems like a good plan to me.

Toe - I have a little something for you that is well earned

That should be a good estimate for Saturday DC Metro (no MARC service on Saturdays) - although it could take 45 or so with long waits at the stations. I believe all the Red Line post-accident delays are over. Then it's a good 10-15 minute walk from College Park Metro to Byrd Stadium.

Looking forward to that walk - I used to date a girl who lived on sorority row so will bring back a lot of memories! Keep that quiet when I see you guys though, you know how girls are about ex's!!

Thanks for all your help and advice, i really appreciate it!

By the way, anyone tell me where is best to pick up a nice Ravens T or Jersey even a visor for her?

**Irishraven** · 08-10-2009, 03:48 PM

Tickets Arrived today, thank you

Thank God for that. Believe it or not, but the post office was about to 'close for lunch' (yes, the one downtown really does that) so I had to scribble down your address and hand it over in about 30 seconds. Glad you got them OK as I have little faith in the US Postal Service, to be honest.

Are you tailgating with our crew? The largest selection of Ravens merchandise vendors will be about 100' from our tailgate lot.

Thanks a million MistaT: I most def will be hanging out with you guys!! I can't wait! I'll have the camera ready for what will no doubt be the most colourful picture EVER

I know this might sound a little nerdy but would it be possilbe for someone to post the google maps location of the tailgate just in case! Or is it very easy to find??

**Mista T** · 08-12-2009, 09:38 PM

This works most of the time:

http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&sour...=18&iwloc=addr

If that doesn't take you to a street level photo of a small parking lot, then use this address as your mapping software or GPS target: 150 W West St, Baltimore, MD 21230. That is the address for the Sharp-Leadenhall Elementary School, directly across the street from our lot.

Next Thursday!!!!! Game on (even if it is preseason)

We are VERY close to you. Within 30 seconds of walking.

AAMOF, we are on the same block!

**TOEMAN** · 08-25-2009, 08:02 AM

I am 20 paces south of you. We are just on the other side of that building- we back our vehicles up to Ostend St between Sharpe St and Peach St.

Hey guys, any word on the Terps kick off time? Will I jus wait and buy tickets outside the ground or is someone looking to get a few of them?

Thanks for all the maps and directions etc - can't believe its only a month away

Me neither, I am so freaking excited!

**TOEMAN** · 08-27-2009, 10:25 AM

I am working on getting us 5 Terps tickets- Dave, Gordon, Irish (2) and myself. I still don't see where they have confirmed the kickoff time.

If all else fails on the Terps tickets (freebies) I will resort to one of the websites and get 5 together (at a reasonable price). I think Irish said less than $60 would work. I will check with everyone before I make the purchase.

Ravens game---looks like we are all within a block of each other. SWEETTTTT!
