AN Opening Night Tailgate

PrintWell, we made it (barely). The season is upon us! Come out and revel with us on Friday, April 1.
We'll plan to meet up in the usual spot: North Lot A, end of Rows 12-14 (if you come over the BART bridge make a right down the ramp towards D gate. We'll be along the edge of the parking lot.) Can someone post the pic of our spot?
What time can you get there? Can you stake out our usual spot? Let us know below. Game time is 7:05 pm and I think pre-game festivities begin around 6:00 pm.
(PS - Englishmajor, wacchampions and thefamousralph will stake out our spot at 3pm. Feel free to join them if you can.)
Now's the time when we decide on who brings what. I for one, have no supplies for this sort of thing, so just because I'm writing this FanPost, someone still needs to bring tables, paper napkins/plates (you can still bring Saag's and not be that guy), cups, etc.
We'll need the usual stuff: a grill (maybe one in particular), disposables, trash cans and bags, coolers/ice, drinks, cups plus all the amazing food we all will bring. Please respond below with what you're willing to bring to share! I'll update this FanPost as we get responses.
I have no idea what's going on with group tickets, so if you need a place to discuss that, feel free to do that as well, below.
Go A's!

Berry Jo: tailgate chicken and a table

wacchampions: table, chairs, a small grill and some food (undecided)

I wish I could be there as well.
I’m already setup to take the family whale watching that day.
Non-stat guy: "Yeah, whatever. You’re wrong." Stat guy: "No, you’re wrong." Non-stat guy: "Cool. Pass me a beer." Stat guy: "Here you go." Sigh, if only it was this easy.
Being my 1st tailgate I feel a bit shy by offering Wild Boar or Elk jerkey to the shin-dig
I can offer up plastic utensils and disposable plates etc. Let me the quantity the group is looking for.
A coupla hundred should do.
We can use them through the season just in case we decide to have another tailgate.
Losing this team would be a huge failure for this city and an affront to Oakland’s great sports legacy.
Excellent!
We will put them to good use.

Don't forget the other tailgate
Oaklandish/Keep the A’s in Oakland are also doing one, I think in our general vicinity. Of course, ours will be better in all respects, but are we giving away T-shirts?
Losing this team would be a huge failure for this city and an affront to Oakland’s great sports legacy.
Yes, AND an AN t-shirt.
Was just mentioning it for those who might want to get one.

I took the day off work
So I can get there early….not sure exactly how early but certainly by 3 pm. I will bring a trash can and my famous recycling bins, whatever extra chairs I can lay my hands on (not that anyone ever sits down, but they help mark our territory), and some duck and pork from the Chinese BBQ in San Leandro.
I think baseballgirl is coordinating tickets, or has that fallen by the wayside?

and my cell was inadvertently shut off yesterday.
Bank switched cards on me and the auto-bill failed. And I was feeling sorry for myself because no one called or texted me or anything…

Awesome.
Make sure to bring something veggie for yourself? Other than that I think we probably need bread-y things? Hot dog, hamburger buns? Stuff like that? Anyone else chime in on the stuff for Friday please if you see something we need.

What time is everyone going in on Friday?
Because I might be there later than originally planned.
I'm here to talk about the past.
I might not go in at all.

Get any old ticket, sit somewhere or wander, and then come visit us when people start to leave when the A’s lead 15-1 in the 4th.

There are still some Plaza Outfield seats available.
Grab one and party.
I would dance and be merry, life would be a ding-a-derry, if Bob Geren had a brain.
I lied, they just sold out.
Welp. Sounds like scalper time. Or just come to the tailgate.
I’M BRINGING ALCOHOLIC CUPCAKES COME ON

If I bring napkins or something can I join in on the fun?
This lurker wants to hang out too!
Of course. More the merrier, I always say.
Ok, I don’t. But go anyway.
It’s a good time and food/supplies will help delay the inappropriate touching.
Also, don’t bring a camera.
If anybody asks, I'm not here.
I'm never here.

Definitely!
Napkins, cups…we might make fun of you but we need those things too. Feel free.
Your Loving Watergun, Pam
Because we're gonna be on a time crunch, we baked the cupcakes a few minutes ago.
Holy shit. Holy shit.
They’re alright.
