Foxboro stadium??

then maybe it would have been a good idea not to say anything at all . now there are some guys really jonesing for the info . :eyes:

just send me my invite by personal messenger before March 1 .
:alien:

dont worry patrick will come through with the info real soon . I just got a call from the President .

You guys are wrong it is going to be at the Big E in Western Mass. ThomT

expo.... Baystate Ex center? :huh:....

hmmmm


football line is throwing me tho.....:confused:


Slip... I just checked.. tadays Wednesday,,, For Sure. :wave:

:lurk: As long as you can throw a frozen rope - you can hit the building from the parking lot...

Unfortunately, the guys at MSBA are legally not allowed to say it until the final contract with the facility is signed. The proposals are all done, the numbers agreed to with the facility, the MSBA has approved that portion - just making it official with the facility. So the work is 93.946% done - but they can't say anything...
And last night - someone asked me if there was a Tent involved - no, there is no TENT :yak5:

All I can say is that the location is fantastic and you all aready know the place - many have been there - and I have been there with a few of you :hihi:

But there is a Light at the end of the tunnel.. Jeeze - I hope I didn't shave that info too close....

Truely a World Champion caliber facility....:devil2:

The Pats end zone entrance area. :huh:

Gillette.... I want a plug if I am right.:wiggle:

As long as they won't be charging $40 a car to park ;)

I'm not saying that it is or it isn't Gillette :hihi: . However, where there would ordinarily be a fee to park your car at this facility (and if you think about it, almost all larger fishing and boat shows you pay to park) - my understanding is that there will be no parking fee. There never has been for a MSBA Fishing Show, I just don't see a parking fee happening....

But I will say this about the facility:



IIIIIITTTTTTTSSSSSSSS GOOOOOOOOOODDDDDD ! !

Parking will be 100% free... :D

:btu: I know Gillette has been pretty proactive in their attempts to lure some off-season events to their spacious area. I've been to a wedding there and a couple of fundraisers. Great job guys if its true!!

I don't know what you are talking about :buds: :huh:

Cannot confirm nor deny under penalty of :behead:

:drool:

Mattapan VFW ?

I cannot confirm it and I won't deny it ...but people are talking! :)

From the sounds of it, this years show is their new back yard.

more important - What time can we start tailgating?? :cheers: :cheers:

ps: MSBA brass - another job well done

:jump:

I would love for this show to be at Gillette. It's practictically in my backyard.

:lurk: you guys are killing me :poke: :poke::wall:

Don't you just hate a punchlist? Hope it's not just the legal eagles padding the billing hours:huh: Whazzup? Is this Tuesday?

or Wednesday?:D

Guys and Gals,

Yes we are trying to tease up some excitement about the new facility....

No we are not screwing with you by not releasing the formal announcement....Lawyers, Insurance Companies, Sponsors all must ber completed before the Press Release...The legal stuff is done, MSBA has a firm committed deal for the Show...bottom line is that the 2006 MSBA Sport Fishijng EXPO will be held in Foxborough MA on March 25th & 26th. A formal Press release is being scheduled for next week

Sorry if anyone got frustrated with this process...I can tell you that if this years show is a succesws, then we will probably have found a home and will set a firm date for the future, hopefully a few weeks earlier

anyway watcdh for next week's press release

Are your Ready for the EXPO?????

Patrick, as usual you have outdone yourself! Great work, MSBA is lucky to have you in it's ranks!! Kudos to you and the board.:jump: :btu: :btu: :btu:

best of luck on the show....it'll be missed.

Too Far over the bridge for ya CS?

Someone's grumpy. I'll have to send him a plug.:uhuh:

CS,

Keeping the show in the Plymouth area was not an option. Over 47 locations were investigated and the fact is that there was not a facility to hold a 100 booth show that was financially viable.

When we moved from Braintree to the Plymouth area we really left our North Shore patrons behind. The central location of Foxborough is the sam drive from the North and south and Boston Metro areas.

Thanks MSBA and Patrick, I think that's a most pissa venue. ( The wife's gonna miss the shopping tho) Capesams, I don't think that the new spot will add all that much to the journey. I think the drive time is about the same from my area.
