USNA 89 Beat Army Tailgater 

We're back in Philly for the Army game! Join about 200 of your closest friends as we get ready to cheer Navy on to a new winning streak!

Most details are below, but here's the really important stuff:

DONATIONS

You can donate any amount you think is fair - we suggest $20 per adult and $5 for everyone under 21. Note that we're providing PLENTY of food, beer, wine, coffee, and hot chocolate, so there's no need for you to bring stuff and drag it across the parking lot. We're not going to shake you down for money when you get there, so please track Andy or me down to donate if you're not doing it in advance, or just drop it in one of the donation boxes you'll see around the tailgate area.

FINDING US

We don't have a reserved tailgate spot in Philly, so we can't be sure exactly where we'll be setting up. Stuff also happens. In 2015, we had a blow out on one of our trailer tires, delaying our arrival by an hour. Parking lot attendants can sometimes not know their own rules. So here's what you need to know to find us:

Click here to get a map of the parking lot. Since we have a special parking pass, we plan on setting up where we have the last 5 times we've been in Philadelphia: Lot E (directly between the Wells Fargo Arena and the stadium). There's always a chance, however, that we may get pushed around by surly attendants. If for some reason we're not in E, we'll be in one of those other Wells Fargo Arena parking lots (likely D - as close to the I-95 overpass as possible).

Check your phone for exact location. If you don't hear from me, we're in E!!!! If we're in a different location for some reason, I'll be posting on Twitter (@usna89), Facebook, and our listserver (usna89@yahoogroups.com) where our exact location is. Get the Twitter handle out to your friends who may not be subscribed to our other means of communicating. REMEMBER - if you hear nothing from me, WE ARE IN E.

Landmarks. We'll have the trailer and - at a minimum - our USNA 89 flag. If the weather allows, the '89 Goat will be up and doing his thing!

Tailgater Registration Options:

1. Register and donate online using our suggested donation amounts.
   
2. Register and select "pay at the door," and then just donate whatever you feel like when you get there.

WHO CAN COME: Everyone and anyone! The more the merrier! Invite co-workers, clients, whoops, grads from other classes, it doesn't matter!

HOW IT WORKS: We'll bring everything. Food, adult beverages, softdrinks, tables, chairs, treats for the kids, music -- everything. You just need to bring yourself and make a donation to help us pay for everything.

OTHER QUESTIONS: Call me/Text me at  443-744-1059 or e-mail me at igrev@1989.usna.com.  During game day, it can be difficult for me to hear / feel the phone ringing, but keep trying! It's tough to hear/feel texts come in, so calling normally is the best way to get a hold of me.

WANT TO HELP OUT?  Please let me know at igrev@1989.usna.com, or just roll up your sleeves when you get there! We usually can use the help with cooking and moving food around!

BEAT ARMY!
