    That's what happens when you gather a bunch of guys who aren't used to standing up...Wookie was smart and stayed in the comfort zone by sitting for the photo..a veteran move

    Nice Stren!!!

    Honestly we should all think about this!!! ID be more than happy to help facilitate in any form or fashion, but this is way better than buying other tickets. Less expensive and much more freedom and room. To me this would be the best way to go see some games.
    Cant lose when you can enjoy a suite with fellow hard core Zero's!!!!

    I got ruined by the suite game. Best way to see the game, for sure.

    The hardest part is the handling of money and setting deadlines and all that... the logistics part would be difficult... Payment and peoples "dues" would need to be had well in advance.

    I absolutely got spoiled too. and your right pre organization would be the hardest thing. I wonder if we could set up something like a pay pal donation account or something where it is logged and recorded who donates what and when and then when the funds are enough to purchase a suite, THEN we start looking at dates that would fit the schedules of those who donated?
    Just a thought.

    Excellent work. I would totally be down for doing this again. The difficulty would be getting $ up front from people. Is it possible to set up a paypal account or something similar so that we could conveniently prepay and nobody has to front the $?

    You and Orion are thinking the same thing.

    I'd like to suggest though, that the only difficult part about THAT is the price difference between 15 and 20 people, so we need to make sure we have a CONFIRMED number BEFORE payment, so we are not overpaying/underpaying individually, etc. Though I guess if there's an underpayment, that can be rectified... overpayment would be difficult.

    It was 14, and I was standing just fine. I just didn't want to be in the back, and I take up way too much room to stand in the front lol...

    Oh yeah, these arent the same location as last time. I dont care so much about being on the 300 level, but are the suites basically the same? Im in this for the cushion seating, bar stools and the food man!!!! LOL

    You guys are saying you can't scrounge up $30-40 and give it to someone here trustworthy to hold it a month or two before a game?

    If this is true, you need to spend less time here and a little more time working.

    Overpayment goes to ordering food/beverages for the suite - it wouldn't likely be all that much.

    As for another evening hanging with you Zeroes, sure, count me in, FAMS.
