AFL '15

Let's see if we can move forward on this thing. My buddy who scouts said he will be there 90%, and promised, if he was, he could go over some of what they look for and how they judge...which would be cool.

It provides a lot of time for people to get ahead, and as long as we could get a decent group going, I'm willing to get out in front of hotel rooms at the turn of the year.

Thoughts?

Give me a rough estimate on what the cost would be. I have a week off every year in October

Travel, food, and, if we do it right, assuming hotels will be pretty cheap.

Game tickets are $8 each. We should be able to see hotel rates in December (2 months). This year's AFL opens Tuesday 10/7...so will assume next year's starts 10/5 or 10/6.

Bump since we would need to start planning soon if this is going to happen.

I'm down for any time that's not involving the weekend of October 23-25th.

Hell yea...this is totally my bad. I've not been around a lot lately...

My best guess would be to focus on the first or second week of November. I'd like to take a straw poll of people who'd want to do it for a weekend, and those that would want to do it for a week.

I can do either, but, if I go, I'm going for a week...regardless.

First week in November would be the best for me. Check out vrbo and home away and let's look at getting a house, you can usually get a 4 or 5 bedroom house for a weekend for less than $100 per room in places like Peoria.

Can also look at AirBnB, some good deals on there.

It'll depend on where I'm working. If I end up in Houston like it looks like now, I probably can't do it. If I find something in Kentucky in the next month then I bet I can swing it

I'm out, our fall break is a 3 day weekend. But if anyone wants to attend the Colts/Titans game in Nashville the last weekend in September lemme know, I'll be there

So anyone else out or in? Or just a bunch of maybes still?

Rosters released today. I think I am rooting for the Glendale Desert Dogs!

Obviously Scottsdale is going to champ it up and pick up the big club Giants. I'm not going to be able to make it this year unfortunately, a couple of guys id love to see in person.

No vacation time for me this year until holidays. Sorry.

Giants · Post by **Giants** » Wed Sep 02, 2015 3:23 pm

Yeah I won't be able to do it either. School I was at in Lexington sucked ass so I'm starting a new gig on Friday but won't get a paycheck til October 5 cause they pay once a month there

Sorry?

I thought with my new job I might be able to cause I'll have a week off in October, but I won't have a paycheck ahead of time to pay for a plane ticket and such
