Hello Patriot faithful!

I am a Minnesota Vikings fan (hold the boo’s) from Minnesota and I will be visiting your beautiful state with my girlfriend when my purple (with or without Favre) come to town on Halloween. Maybe I can just “pretend” to be dressed as a Vikings fan so you people don’t pummel me.

Anyways, I am a season ticket holder and have been for many years.

Once or twice a year, My girlfriend and I travel to see my Vike’s on the road.

This year’s winner of the “Vikings Road Trip” award is Gillette Stadium (or Foxboro...or whatever you call it).

I am very excited about coming to see this game for many reasons.

One, believe it or not, I have been a Patriots fan sins they lost to the dreaded Green Bay Packers in the Superbowl.

As you know, most Vikings fans and Packer fans do not like the opposing team…I became a fan of the Patriots for the sole propose of the rivalry.

Unfortunately, It didn’t go our way. However, I wore my Patriots shirt for the other Superbowls that your powerhouse Patriots were in.

 

So here’s some questions that I have for you, and the more answers the better. It will help me explore New England at its best.

Feel free to answer some of the questions, or all that you know.

 

#1 - Where should we park to tailgate at Gillette Stadium?
What price range will it be?
Do we need a parking pass to tailgate?

 

#2 – Have you been on a Gillette Stadium tour? Would you recommend it?

 

#3 - I’ve been to Lincoln Financial Field and surrounded by angry Philly fans who were more than aggressive.

I am a non-aggressive fan, and always show class and respect while I am the visitor in someone else’s house.

Do I have to worry about aggressive Patriots fans?

 

#4 - What are some good restaurants in Boston that you would recommend? I would like all of your favorites…Cheap places as well as steakhouses. I would like to try a few of them!

 

#5 - What is a good local bar to go to? I am too old for clubs. I like unique places, places that stand out, or pubs with nice beer selections.

 

#6 - What are some good live local bands that play around?
I like rock music. Pretty much all types of rock, alternative, pop, funky, whatever.
What about a good venue to see them play live?

 

#7 - Where is the best vantage point of the Boston Skyline? What about a bar patio with a great view?

 

#8 – Where is the best  place to see the ocean? Are there any Lighthouses or anything like that? Sorry, this is my first real trip out to New England, I have no idea what to expect!

 

#9 - Bloody Mary's and breakfast. Who makes the best bloody Mary, and what are some good breakfast joints?

 

#10 - Are there any "Best of Boston" sites or links that you could tell me about?

 

#11 - Anything else that you would recommend an out-of-towner to see or do?

 

#12 – We will be visiting for a week and traveling to Maine and in Rhode Island for a night. Is there anything that is a “Must see” on those areas?

 

#13 - Are there any vineyards/winery’s that are open in late October?

 

#14 - What can we expect the weather to typically be?  

 

 

All answers are GREATLY appreciated.

Thanking you in advance, and GOOD LUCK to your Patriots this year,

Michael

Does anyone record and burn Viking games to DVD?

I have some classics on DVD, like the Adrian Peterson 296 against the Chargers, Vikes destroy Packers in the playoffs, etc. but now I am looking for the Vikes/49ers game as well.

 

Anyone?

 

Thanking you in advance,

Sackman

Hi Packer Nation! I love the blog! Just as I love the Daily Norseman, Acme Packaging Company is a great place for me to get info and views on the green and gold. I am a longtime peeper and first time poster that will be joining many of you at Lambeau for the Vikings game accompanied with my girlfriend on November 1st. I am looking for a few questions to be answered since I have never been to your beautiful city.

#1 - I heard that Milwaukee gets 2 home games a year. First off, is this true? Secondly, is this a Milwaukee game? Thirdly, how are the fans compared to the Green Bay fans?

 

#2 - What are some good restaurants in and around Green Bay that you would recommend? I would like all of your favorites…Cheap places as well as steakhouses. I would like to try a few of them!

 

#3 - We are staying in the The Holiday Inn City Centre. Would you recommend us taking a shuttle, or driving to the game? We will most likely bring a cooler full of beverage and probably just eat inside.

 

#4 - What is a good local bar to go to? I am too old for clubs. I like unique places, places that stand out, or pubs with nice beer selections.

 

#5 - What are some good live local bands that play around? I like rock music. Pretty much all types of rock, alternative, pop, funky, whatever. What about a good venue to see them play live?

 

#6 - Where is the best vantage point of the Green Bay Skyline?

 

#7 - How far is Door County? Is it worth going to see? We are thinking about staying there for one night.

 

#8 - Bloody Mary's and breakfast. Who makes the best bloody Mary, and what are some good breakfast joints?

 

#9 - Are there any "Best of Green Bay" sites or links that you could tell me about?

 

#10 - Anything else that you would recommend an out-of-towner to see or do? Historic places (non-football as well)?

 

Thank you all VERY MUCH for your help.

Last year we had "The DN 2008 Mock Draft Database" that turned out to be unnecessary because we traded our first rounder for the almighty Jared Allen.

However, it looks as the Vikes will be picking at 22 this year and I am wondering if anyone will be putting together a Minnesota Vikings Mock Draft Database.

Was that you last year Gonz? Musta been you since it was before you had help around here.

Will you be creating another this year?

I searched around the net and found some Redskin and other databases, but no Vikes.

Anyone know of any?

I like to see the percentages of all the mocks online for a wide perspective and to try and gage what will be happening on Saturday.

 

Let me know!

Thanking you in advance,

Sackman

Hi Jags fans!
Whats up?

I have a few questions regarding tailgating, things to do, and places to eat in your beautiful city of Jacksonville.

My girlfriend and I are coming down in November to see our Vikes play your Jags.
In addition to being a long time season ticket holder of the Vikings, I travel once a year to see the Vikes get beat on the road.
Er…I mean, to see the Vikes PLAY on the road.
Whatever.
This year, we will be making the trip down to Jacksonville!

I will be staying in Jacksonville for 4 days and would like some advice as to what to do and where to go.
I have a bunch of questions for you, so here we go:

#1 - Where should we park to tailgate at Jacksonville Municipal Stadium?
What price range will it be?
Do we need a parking pass to tailgate?

#2 - Have any of you been on a Jacksonville Municipal Stadium Tour?
Would you recommend it?

#3 - What are some good restaurants in Jacksonville that you would recommend? I would like all of your favorites…Cheap places as well as steakhouses. I would like to try a few of them!

Hi Bucs fans!
What's up??

I have a few questions regarding tailgating, things to do, and places to eat in your beautiful city of Tampa.

My girlfriend and I are coming down in November to see our Vikes play your Bucs.
In addition to being a long time season ticket holder of the Vikings, I travel once a year to see the Vikes get beat on the road.
Er…I mean, to see the Vikes PLAY on the road.
Whatever.
I have wanted to visit Raymond James since they opened it. It looks like a great place to see live football.
I also have been a big Bucs follower due to them being in the old Central division.
I was rooting for the Bucs when they made the Superbowl as well.

I will be staying in Tampa and Clearwater for 4 to 5 days and would like some advice as to what to do and where to go.
I have a bunch of questions for you, so here we go:

#1 - Where should we park to tailgate at Raymond James Stadium?
What price range will it be?
Do we need a parking pass to tailgate?

#2 - Is there anything inside (or by) the ship (inside RJS) that we should go see?
Have any of you been on a RJS Tour?
Would you recommend it?

#3 - What are some good restaurants in Tampa and Clearwater that you would recommend? I would like all of your favorites…Cheap places as well as steakhouses. I would like to try a few of them!
