Glenn,
My thinking is this: The further we get from the park, the more options we have, and consequently, more potential for dis-organization, miscommunication etc. that will detract from the idea of having a great time. Earlier I suggested a place like Dave & Busters because it is fun for the WHOLE family with an arcade, a bar, a resturaunt and ample parking. But it is at least five miles from the park. Knowlwood is typical americana type stuff (burgers, fries shakes, etc.). The food is good. The ambiance is limited, but would suffice. I think that if Bob was willing to actually go out and scout, he should probably be given the authority to choose a place. As a side note...Randy (Bosscars) suggested that many times there are several tail-gaters that occure the night before, and bopping around from place to place might be an entertaining alternative. Perhaps a brief tally of who will ACTUALLY attend, and a quick comment on their preference is in order?
