    Throw in a stop at a strip club or two and I'm all in.

    55 isn't that bad. This isn't Nyc where you have millions of public transportation passengers using the bus every day. It may be a rip off if you have a group of 5 who split gas, tolls, park in a private lot and one in your group is a dd and isn't easily annoyed by siting in traffic. Otherwise its not a bad idea.
    In his closing press conference, Bill Polian said of the team that he built, "They're a very special group of men. Cherish them, you will not see their like again."

    When does it leave OP to go back to Syracuse?

    Is there still room on this shuttle? I emailed the person at the email provided and it bounced back. I'd be interested in doing this. Thanks!

    I just spoke to the travel agency and unfortunately it looks like the Coaches for the 9/16 KC game and 9/30 New England game were canceled out due to lack of interest.

    It's too bad, I bet they'd get more interest closer to the game. Of course I understand why they can't wait that long, but still, it was a good idea, wish it worked out.

    I had to cancel these shuttles because there was a lack of interest unfortunately. I would really love to get something smaller for maybe the same price. I am going to set something up and provide details in the coming days....

    If you're coming from Syracuse in a truck you'd burn that in gas...Definitely a good deal when you throw in the fact that you can tailgate while driving to the game. I'd do it. OP, mind swinging a little south?

    Too bad. I bet you'd get more interest if you approached the organization with this. Russ would love this. It fits into his homespun, regional brand. Have Chris Brown write a post on this and you'd be back up and running. plus, I don't think that many people start worrying about transportation until about 2 weeks out.

    My guess is that it's not an idea problem, it's a marketing one.

    Here is the latest info on this. Trying to get this up and running.....

    I am setting up a 20 passenger "Executive Coach" through Caz Limo out of the Syracuse Area for the Bills vs. Chiefs opener on 9/16

    This coach will pick up at Bayberry Plaza in Liverpool, NY at 6:15AM and will proceed to also pick people up in Rochester at the 390 park and ride around 7:30am. It will then bring us to the Bills game and return us to the original pick up locations in the evening (Rochester around 7 and Liverpool around 8:30).

    Cost of this round trip will be between $55 and $60 per person. I am not going to make a single penny on this....I would just like to make it easier to get to and from the game without having to worry about gas, tolls, parking, DWIs, etc.

    Please email me at chrismathes@verizon.net or text/call me at 315-529-4664 if you are interested in this trip ASAP. I am going to start with just the KC game on Sept. 16th and if it gains enough interest, I plan on doing this for all home games.

    After I have 10-12 people interested, I will book the limo and make it official.

    I am interested in this but I don't think that people from Rochester should have to pay the same price as people from Syracuse (even if it's 55 instead of 60). My buddy and I would probably go for 40-45 from Rochester.

    I was at the bills game yesterday and talked to some shuttle drivers. We basically need about 10-15 people from Cuse but the more people that jump on this will bring the price down. I am not looking to turn a profit, I benifit from not driving 2 half hours one way by myself. I am working on something for the Pats game in two weeks so please respond soon to get this shuttle set up... I am working with Chris Mathes from the above pos so let either one of us know at PARODYT@YAHOO.COM
