Actually @joebabyny is doing a tailgate in Kansas City this year if I remember right. so I would follow him and ask him any questions you have about the tailgate location, price et al (I am now marketing manager for tailgateJOe lol). How do you like that @Maxman ? you can being your own stuff in too. Only difference is they open the parking lots 4 hours before kickoff, not 5 hours like MetLife. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any recommendations on what to do or restaurants to visit? My one friend told me about riverboat casinos. I'll be there as well. Flying out Thursday night. Staying at the Staybridge Hotel for Thursday -Monday. I believe someone on here recommended it. Will check out Iowa, Kansas and Nebraska or whatever if it I can see on Friday. Saturday I plan on sight seeing in KC. I haven't looked up restaurants yet but know there are some fountains and the Power and Light District is great. Sunday I will be at the game. Monday drive to St. Louis to do the Budweiser tour, Gateway Arch and see a St. Louis Cardinals game. Tuesday drive back to KC and fly out Tuesday night. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lizard King Posted August 1, 2016 Share Posted August 1, 2016 It feels like September in NJ this morning and got me thinking: who is going where this year? I'll be in Buffalo and Pittsburgh. Have great trips planned around both. What say the rest of you? I don't know Buffalo well but this will be my third trip to Pitt (married into a Steelers family)- so can easily recommend Station Square and the overlook from the hilltop of the city.

According to my friend who's from Pitt and still lives there, they don't ever sell out, so you'll be able to get cheap gameday seats. He actually thinks the hotel bump is due to the Steelers and not Pitt, which I guess you could test by looking at other Steelers home weekends. The issue is, there's very few hotels in Pitt, comparatively, and so they can do what they want. Oh well, saving $600+ on flights makes it a little easier to take.
