Ravens vs. Bengals Monday Night! – Roost #4 Tailgate Notes

O’s are in 1st place and hosting the Yankees all weekend … and the Ravens open their regular season Monday night against the Bengals at M&T Bank Stadium!  Life is good!  Roost #4 will host our 1st official tailgate party before the 7pm Monday night game.  We tailgate on the lot behind the ABC Rental store on the corner of Russell Street and Hamburg Street.  The lot opens at 2pm for the 7pm Monday game.   Cost for the lot is still $40 per carload.  Our Roost #4 tailgate should be setting-up as soon as the lot opens.   Note: due to the 7pm game time, the fact that the crowd will be big for the 1st game, and the fact that security could be tight getting into the stadium, the tailgate will begin shutdown at 5:30 so we can leave for the stadium around 5:45.  As always … Roost #4 will have a grill fired for our members to use … this is BYOB (in YOC … your own cooler) … and we encourage our tailgaters to bring a small dish to share with our gang (SMALL … we throw-away too much food!).  Contact Mitch or Frosty if you have any questions.  Go Orioles … Go Ravens!!!
