Over the last two seasons, we have taken over 1300 people to Citi Field and we're doing it again on July 3, 2012. What's a die hard Phillies fan supposed to do when July 4th falls smack dab in the middle of the week, take Tuesday off and head to the Big Apple to watch their team beat up on the Mets again and then savor the victory at their 4th of July festivities the following day. When we head up the Jersey Turnpike, we turn the conventional tailgate upside and do it on a boat on the East River.
We'll leave from the Sports Complex at 1:00pm on Tuesday afternoon and head up to the Big Apple... After a comfortable ride up the Jersey Turnpike via deluxe motorcoach, we'll board the "Harbor Lights" -- a triple-deck luxury liner with room for more than 300 guests -- for a pre-game celebration that's a PhillyTailgate.com exclusive. Be treated to the best in tailgate cuisine from Virgil's Real Barbecue , ice-cold beer, and all the hits from one of Marco Polo's resident DJs, plus the spectacular skyline of Manhattan viewed from the East River and Hudson Bay.
In 2011, we added the Statue of Liberty to the sights, plus we take in views of the United Nations, Empire State Building, Chrysler Building, Rikers Island and the landing strip at LaGuardia Airport. Our chartered yacht will dock at the World's Fair Marina, just steps from the entrance to the ballpark.
