For those of you New England Patriots fans headed down to San Diego this weekend here’s what a huge clan of Pats fans will be doing. Barry Inciong organizes an entire weekend of fun whenever the Patriots play in San Diego. I’ve pasted in the itinerary below. I won’t be there Saturday night but hope to meet lots of Patriots fans at the tailgate on Sunday.
SATURDAY NIGHT PARTY
We’ll be having a private party at Players Sports Bar, 7061 Clairemont Mesa Blvd, San Diego, CA 92111 on Saturday, 10/23 6pm – 8pm

Players is a popular Boston bar with plenty of Pats sports memorabilia and we’ll be in a private area with plenty of TVs. It’s located just 1.5 miles from the Courtyard Hotel in case you want to cab it. The Courtyard Hotel may run shuttles for us.
While we are hoping to have some special guests join us, we won’t know for sure until they actually show up. If you were with us in Seattle in 2008 or Denver in 2009 you probably have a good idea of who has been invited.
We’ll have a salad, pasta and pizza buffet (soft drinks also included, bar drinks are on your own). Cost will be $20 at the door. Advance payments are no longer being accepted.
A list of people that payment has been received from can be found at the end of this document.
TAILGATE PARTY
If anyone is going straight to Qualcomm early to get in as soon as the gates open (and not joining our caravan) please contact me as I’d like to have someone who can give us a report on gate openings, traffic, etc.
As we’ve done in past years, we’ll be tailgating right between G4 and H4 which can be reached through Gate 3 by going west to east on Friar’s Road.

Note that you do not need a prepaid parking pass to enter this area. Parking is $25 per vehicle. There is no additional charge for attending our tailgate party.
Rather than coordinating food and drink as a group, everyone should bring their own. However for the benefit of those who are from out of town or are coming in on the trolley, I will have water, beer and hot dogs available for $1 each with all profits going to charity (New England Patriots Charitable Foundation Kick Cancer Campaign and San Diego United Way).
