    assuming the spectrum is ok with us using their parking lot, I am sure many people can bring tailgate/party tents to set up incase of rain. the fall in Philly is usually very nice and I doubt we will have to wear anything more than jeans and a light long sleeved shirt

    Yeah, it's a small little dive bar a little ways off from the Spectrum.

    assuming I can get to the lot early
    TAILGATE

    and the spectrum lots are coded, so it is possible to arrange a gathering in the lot
    IF people get there early enough

    Plus if all hell broke loose we could just walk over to McFadden's.

    As for tailgating being OK, I parked beside the Spectrum for the Philly '05 show next door around 2pm... :D

    Yeah, I'm just saying if people are coming in for all three shows then maybe it would be a good idea for people meet up there when there isn't a show like Thursday night.

    Tailgate.

    Dirty Frank's is a hike for most people.

    It would be easy for the people staying in center city hotels and using the subway.

    But you touch on the problem -- people will be getting to this show in a variety of ways (subway, car, houses, hotels, road trips, etc.). That's what I'd just set up a big tailgate and be done with it.

    It would certainly be fitting. I remember the die-hard Springsteen fans at his Penn State 2000 show meeting up before hand at The Lions Den. (Which he then opened with....)

    tailgate, especially if we are talking Camden!
    TAILGATE!!!!
    That drive from the pre party to the show is DANGEROUS!

    TAILGATE !! More room. As bars go , I like Chickie and Petes ( Crab Fries), though McFaddens location at Citizens Bank Park makes it a natural pre-party choice for indoor location

    I admit Crab Fries is almost enough to persuade me to vote bar. Or we just do a massive take-out run to Chickie and Pete's for like a trash bag full of Crab Fries and bring them to the tailgate!

    I vote tailgate

    Not that I know of - but if they still have the digital jukebox then you can have whatever you want.

    Swiped this from the hotel thread and figured I'd stick this in here too
    $60 will get you 3 stars in the PHL airport area on Priceline right now. I was only checking for Friday night...

    now, if i can just get tickets in my cart before i book ...life will be good.

    Eagles/Giants game that Sunday too...going to be a run on hotels.
