NAVY Tailgate
Saturday, 14 April 2007
Annapolis, MD
12:00
Noon Face-off
BEAT NAVY!
Linda and Mike Hanna have done yeoman work
coordinating this tailgate, and through Army Lax
Alum
Bob Opatovsky '70,
the West Point Society of
Annapolis and the
Northern Chesapeake West Point Society
have stepped up in a big way to help make it a
success. The tailgate will be the same place it was
in 2005,
on the grassy area next
to the water tower hard by Gate #1 off
Farragut Road in the northeast corner of the
Navy-Marine Corps Memorial Stadium parking lot, Gold
Side (See
Navy Tailgate Map). For directions, go to
Navy Driving Directions.
This tailgate will be outdoors, without electricity.
The Annapolis and
Northern Chesapeake West Point Societies are providing
enough meat, cheese, rolls and condiments for
sandwiches to feed about 120 people, plus sodas and
water to augment what we will bring.
Army Lax Parents will provide the grills.
The big Hanna grill will cover most of that need,
but others are welcome to bring their grills too.
Those who have them also should bring gas stoves,
Sterno, etc., to make sure we have cooking and
warming capacity for all the different dishes we
might want to provide.
Army Lax Parents will provide all the salads, side
dishes, and desserts,
as well as the sports drinks and water for the team.
Parents and friends who can’t bring food from home,
especially those flying in, can phone ahead to order
from Graul's Market, directly across
Rowe Blvd
from the stadium. Their phone number is
410-269-5103. Graul's is a small chain of family
owned markets in the Baltimore-Annapolis area that
offers a wide array of prepared foods, salads,
trays, etc., etc.
Army Lax Parents will
bring tables and tents for serving areas and
socializing.
There are never too may places to sit, eat, and
socialize, so we should bring all the tables,
chairs, and tents we have.
Tailgate Alert
Based on our experience two years ago, we will need
A LOT of food.
The West Point Societies of Annapolis and the
Northern Chesapeake are
providing sandwich makings for approximately 120
people, but we know that there will be many
scrounging cadets plus Army Lax alumni and friends
dropping in on our tailgate. Therefore, you may also
want to bring to bring steaks, chicken, hamburgers,
hot dogs, sausage, etc., to supplement the
grill-fare the local West Point Societies will
provide.
Get there early.
Bob Opatovsky writes, “Because parking will probably
be a problem for those arriving late, I recommend
those with grills and foodstuff arrive at
approximately 1000. That's when I plan to be there
to stake a claim to the location and get a nearby
parking spot.” The Hannas also will be there by
10:00 AM to set up their tent and barbecues.
They will also have coffee,
rolls, and donuts, so invite everyone to “come on
by” before the game.
Questions? Contact the Hannas at

A
reminder about tailgate etiquette.
Parents and guests wait to start eating until the
team has been fed. We can start on the appetizers
and beverages, but we wait on the main courses.
Also, the Gatorade is reserved for the players only.
Also, Coach Alberici and the USMA Administration
request that alcoholic beverages not be consumed at
Army Lacrosse tailgates, at home or away.
GO ARMY!
BEAT NAVY!
We guarantee to our host that we will
return the tailgate venue to the condition in which
we found it. Please help us clean up after this
tailgate so we can honor our guarantee. |
