    Yeah, I was thinking around 18 at best? Maybe?

    And yeah, that's the Howard one I'm thinking of - something like "speak softly and carry a big stick" or something.

    Yeah, I absolutely LOVE the idea of the season starting on a Friday - a whole weekend of Phils festivities; Friday Opening Day and Sunday starts my season plan. And then in between I'm going up to NYC for LCD Soundsystem's last show ever at MSG. Gonna be an awesome weekend.

    Also, I think this means the season is going to start on April 1st no matter what day it falls one, which I love, and it falls in line with my proposed plan for how they're going to change the schedule up for playoff purposes.

    dude, actually the standing room tix were probably 27 for a pair. again, I'm not 100%.

    eeriedave, I'd move fast on those tix if you're going to do that. During the pre-sale yesterday there were just scraps left. Most games was only standing room.

    It's gonna be a complete zoo down there this year. I wouldn't be shocked to see $25 charges for parking

    That's fine with me as long as they don't fuck up a good thing like FDR. THEN, I'll be fucking livid.

    So 27 for a pair? That's fine by me.

    i think it's already $22 or some shit in the wachovia/wells fargo/first union/corestates lot....imagine how bad parking is gonna be for the next few years while they build this "philly live" monstrosity.

    also could there be a dumber name than "philly live?"

    2 great points.

    coming in from Delco, I started parking in the Nova Care lots a couple of years ago. Easy in, easy out. That's whay she said.

    I just let my idiot friends get there early and set up the tailgate, I walk down, and throw in money for beer. Done and done

    I can see those bastards trying to ban tailgating when that shit is finished being built. That would suck even more than the stupid name

    Both. Sorta.

    The idea is half-assed because it'll be highly commercialized and won't have any tangible element that you can sink your teeth into - they should let local shops set up business there.

    And the name of course is fucking gay - just reiterating the fake facade of it all.

    FDR till the day I die. Or until they start charging an arm and a leg.

    other than fdr, i agree with both points. though, i'm willing to wait to see what the finished product looks like before passing judgment. but, yeah, if ends up looking and feeling like a f-cking mall, that's pretty weak.

    regarding the name, i'm usually more inclined to be conservative with my use of the exclamation point anyway. sounds like the ucsb dude in the giants thread came up with philly live!!! :roll: :lol:

    Whats the deal with Philly Live? I haven't heard anything about it in a while. When are they getting started on it? Are they still get rid of all of H Lot? That blows.

    I don't know if they're still doing that - I remember reading that Synder plans on scaling the idea for Philly Live back a bit and maybe adding to it later, what with the economy and all(I just like to say that).

    I'm assuming once they finish with the demo and clean up, they'll begin some time soon after with construction.

    I would think 2012 at the earliest.

    And, Jeags, it's un-American if you cannot appreciate FDR.

    Yeah, that shit is going to take forever. It's going to be a while before that opens. Will be interested to see what comes of it. You think it will take away from Chickies business?

    Most likely, but I'm assuming C&P will just move into that spot, or at least have a location there. Along with a Cavanaugh's or another McFadden's - that kinda shit.

    All I want is for the Phils to treat the street outside CBP like they do during the playoffs every weekend. Just put a band out there with a bunch of vendors and let it be a huge party.

    i think 2012 is really optimistic. just look how long it's taken them to knock the spectrum down. i'd give it 2-3 years from the time they start at best.......what will really suck though is if a bunch of retailers opt out (due to the economy and all :lol: ) and they open it up with 1/3 of the place being a ghost town. this new town center thing opened up near me recently and half of the place is finished but boarded up because so many places couldn't or didn't want to swing it at the time. you know the place jp? right off 422 in c-ville...

    i too read snyder wanted to scale it down. originally wasn't there supposed to be a hotel or something involved with it?

    Yeah, thats a good point. I assume they will have a location there, maybe a little smaller one. Don't see them getting rid of the spot they have though, unless they can get something that size but I would be suprised at that. I am curious to see how long McFaddens can keep the location at CBP before the Phillies say fuck it and kick them to the curb for all their bad press, if this shit keeps happening with their management.

    Don't recall that. Only time I was down there the playoffs was for Pearl Jam and I didn't catch that.

    I took as JP saying they were going to start construction in 2012. Then it will take a while. Its going to be a while. I honestly don't think they will have a very difficult time filling it, at least in the beginning as long as the Phillies stay good. That is 40,000 people in that area 81 times a year.

    Yeah, the hotel was supposed to be where the spectrum is. Wonder if that is off.

    i must have misunderstood what he was saying....yeah you're probably right. 40,000 81 times a year plus all the shit across the street.
