Hey Jets Fans, What a great week this has been basking in the beatdown of the hated Patriots and hearing all the sports talk shows talking nice about our Jets! Go D!!! Peabody's was nuts with about 130 of us gathered for the home opener even with the game on TV here in Tampa. That's gotta tell you something about watching the games at Peabody's. It's more than just a bunch of people watching a football game... it's an experience that's only matched by actually being at the game. Got a few things to discuss with you all so please read on.
Jets vs Titans - Week 3 at Peabody'sThe Jets are looking to make it a 3 and 0 start against the Titans on Sunday. If our defense continues to play as strong as they have and the O-Line continues to protect "San-chise", I can easily see that happening. Go Jets! If you're planning on coming out to P's to watch the game I suggest you get their early to claim your spot. It's getting pretty crazy in there. Management has told me they were planning to purchase some more chairs for our use but you're better off being an early bird and getting the worm. Remember, we always have food and drink specials for the club and be sure to ask your server for some "Jet Fuel". A special green libation made just for us. $2 shots and $5 drinks. See you at P's on Sunday. Jets/Bucs Tickets to be sent out this week!Sorry for the delay in getting the tickets out to everyone who purchased seats before the season started. For those of you who ordered tickets through me for the Jets / Bucs game, I'll be sending them out this coming week. I'd originally planned to do it this past week but my hectic work schedule made it impossible. Still need tickets to Jets / Bucs game?A lot of members (both new and old) have been asking if I have any tickets still available for sale. Unfortunately the answer is no. However, I do have a contact over at the Bucs ticket sales and I'm including her info below. Give her a call and see if there is still availability. Alternatively you can search online at places like StubHub or other ticket brokers for tickets near us. The seats our club members will be sitting in are split between sections 333 and 338 as follows..
Here's my Bucs contacts info.
Rachel will most likely ask you to fill out a form (located at http://www.Jets-Fan.com/2009 Group Order Form.pdf) and fax it back to her as she can’t take any payment info over the phone. Be sure to mention on the form that you want the seats to be with the New York Jets Fan Club of Tampa Bay. She was holding seats but had to release them. She can still fill orders as long as they have seats open. The sooner you get your order in the better. Just write in how many you want…they are $75 a piece. Thank You to our sponsorsI wanted to say a big thank you to all the businesses who have sponsored the fan club.

Jets / Bucs Tailgate Party WeekendI know every Jets fan in the area is excited about the Jets playing here in Tampa this year. But it's not just us. We have four other fan clubs planning a trip to Tampa to join us for the weekends festivities. Fan Clubs from Virgina, Atlanta, South Florida, and Port Orange have all contacted me and want to hook up with us for the game and the weekends activities. We're planning a Happy Hour at Peabody's on Friday 12/11/09 for the members of all the clubs to get together and get to know one another. On Saturday 12/12/09, we are trying to put together some kind of Meet-and-Greet with Jets Players. Hopefully at their hotel or by the practice field. Still working on that and would love it if anyone had any contacts inside the Jets. Of course on Sunday 12/13/09 we are planning a huge tailgate party. We are still working on the details including a location but if anyone has any ideas for the tailgate (or the weekend) please let me know. In addition, we are also looking for sponsors who might be willing to donate supplies, services, food, drinks, a location, or other items to the tailgate event. Got something to add? Got a spark of an idea? Let me know. Any and all ideas will be considered. Just lay it on me and we'll figure out the best of the best to make it an unforgettable day in Tampa for our Jets and the Fan Club If you are interested or know someone who is, please contact me ASAP at Festa@Jets-Fan.com or 813-235-6855. 50/50 RaffleWe've got lot's of fun stuff to giveaway this week with many more things to come as the season continues.
