My brother, father and myself have all been lifelong fans of the Fins and are currently on our way down from Virginia. We were wondering if there is any Fin Heaven get together or tailgates going on tomorrow before the game or anyone who would like to meet up. Hope to see you guys tomorrow, fins up!
 
I'll be there too, with my son, brother and a friend. I don't know of any finheaven tailgates but I'll be parked at the corner of E. Duval st and Bryant St., about 10 am. It's a gas company gated lot , there's should be gas semi trucks in there, I forget the name of the company but it's pretty secure. We always tailgate there, we'll have a Dolphins tent and probably be in a blue Silverado.
 
I'm bummed, we live about 10 minutes from the Stadium now but due to finances we are stuck watching on CBS.

That sucks bro, if I had extra tickets I would give them to you. Do you have a paypal account? I'll donate $10 to the "Get Fins of Fury to the game" fund.

I am in the same predicament here with the Dolphins coming into Mile High around the end of November. You used to be able to get Bronco tickets at $35-$50, but after they signed Peyton Manning the tickets went up to like $100-$200. I just don't want to deal with the traffic on the interstate, shelling out for tickets, parking, food, etc. Just going to watch on TV.

Yeah, I keep scouring craigslist to see if maybe people will start liquidating tickets by tommorow morning. The reason I can't afford to go is because right now we are living in the Northside of Jacksonville (which is an eternal hellhole) and we just put a deposit down on a way nicer place in Amelia Island. So just kinda prioritizing for the family, although I must say I had this game on my radar all year.

I totally understand. I have seen the Dolphins the last five times they have come to Denver, but it just seems like the cost of attending sporting events is going up like crazy, and the experience at most NFL stadiums just seems to have gotten worse, especially if you are an opposing fan, although I haven't had many issues with Bronco fans. I usually have been in the nosebleed section at Mile High (Sports Authority Field), and after the sun goes down in late November it can get really cold. On the other hand, you also have some 70 degree days late in the year. You have your priorities right with your family coming first.

tell me about it, they price fans out of the stadium, i talked to the ticket office at sun life and the rep casually offered two club level seats for 170 apiece for the Chargers game.... I'm thinking damn 500 game experience when you throw in parking and a few beers etc, i do ok but i can't justify outlaying that kind of loot when its on tv. I tip my hat to folks who can

Might see you there. Not sure where we're parking (I'm not driving) but it's usually somewhere in that area.:brewskis:
 
Dolphin fans are apparently everywhere in downtown Jax tonight, it is awesome to see so many supporters traveled for the game!
 
Ended up making it to the game!
