The only mid-field section with 5 adjacent seats is 143/LL for $83. Next-best is 136/OO for $65.

We can get 5 in 141/GG, but we would have to pay for 6 because of the way that seller has his account set up.

There are more options with only 4 seats needed, though I can't ask you to get rid of anyone:

Best set-of-4 seats in each section:
137 none
138/CC $75 (front row) <----- cha-chingg!!!
139/OO $67 (15th)
140 none
141/GG $77 (5th)
142/LL $101 (10th)
143/MM $86 (13th)

Least expensive 5 sets in any section
138/OO $53 (13th row)
139/OO $67 (15th)
138/CC $75 (front row)
141/GG $77 (5th)
141/II $77 (7th)

Looks like the Renaissance is the place to be - I'll be there with ABF Jr, ChicagoBengal and his crew will be there, BigDawgBengal too. I'm presuming that everyone's coming at least for Saturday night, yes? Sounds like we need to paint the town orange as a group, and maybe even plan our own impromptu tailgate there in the lobby Sunday morning.

For the record, Chicago and I are sitting together in 141/LL. We paid more for those seats than the fire-sale prices in other sections because we're splurging a little, but even with StubHub's nuisance fees it was still a significant discount over the $115 face value. If others are going and want to parlay the cheap prices into a very nice seat location, please scope out Section 141 and target the upper-half - those are the double-letter rows: AA-BB-CC-etc.

Just booked my hotel at the Renaissance. Did not realize tickets were so cheap. Worth the trip now.

Like Amish mentioned, we're also at the Renaissance. We won't be rolling into StL until between 9 and 10 thanks to my wife having class (unlike me) that won't end until 5 CST.

Is anyone thinking of doing anything that night? I might need a drink after the long drive with a REALLY type A. 6 year old in the back seat.

Ring me up when you get in. ABF Jr will be up late that night, the three of us could go on a pub crawl. (Kidding, Jr is only 10).

Maybe a compromise... my 6 year old makes killer jello shots. We could bring 'em.

If the Bengals had won this week there might of been more Bengal fans than Rams fans there.

Depending on tonight, there still may be. Even with the deflation of yesterday, I'm still excited to get down there this weekend.

Its too far to see them get cinged by Tom Brandstater and Brandon Lloyd. Nevermind, I just saw that Sam Bradford is going to play. Maybe they have a shot after all. Hopefully he makes it through tonight's game and plays next week. Third sting inexperienced quarterbacks seem to be their kryptonite.

Like mentioned above, several of us are staying at the 4-Star Renaissance Grand Plaza at 8th & Washington - just a short 5 minute walk to the Dome. $114 is their weekend rate, but if you don't mind fibbing when you reserve online, or if you're actually an IBM employee, use corporate code "IBM" to get the $97 rate. Parking is $14/day, which I'm sure is tons cheaper than gameday parking.

The kiddo and I have decided to move our departure up and are leaving tomorrow afternoon - staying 2 nights instead of one. Saturday will be the Budweiser tour, the St Louis Science Center, and if the weather isn't crap, the Zoo.

And I intend to check out the Bombsquad's tailgate Sunday morning. Forecast is 54 degrees and sunny - almost too bad that it's an indoor game, but we won't need coats going to-from the dome.

Holy shit, I just realized - with this weekend I'll have only gone to 4 games so far this year, with two of them (Denver, St Louis) on the road.

You should've gone with the home games so you can see the road games on tv haha. The Pittsburgh game is the one I haven't gone to because it was on tv and tickets were about 3 times face value.

How old is your son? Check out magic house and city museum. Magic house is like a small version of cosi. City museum is like Chuck E Cheese if they let the guys from jackass design it. Adult ballpit,huge slides,rope climbing,an old carnivalis themed room,an aquarium(extra cost), climb a maze of ladders up 3-4 stories going through old planes,school busses, fire trucks. Not everything is fat guy or kid friendly, but guaranteed fun for everyone.

He's 10. I've been to the magic house on a previous trip - he's not into that. I read that City Museum was in an unsafe part of town. We're gonna get our brewery on first, then head to Forest Park and to SLSC - we're members of the local children's science museum here in Bloomington and SLSC have reciprocity with WonderLab... our cards from here get us into all of the premium exhibits there as if we were local members. Even the $10 parking is free. The only thing we'd have to pay extra for would be the Star Trek exhibit, and he's not a big fan so I can probably talk him out of making Daddy pay $35 for us both to go in and be bored - I'll give him $15 of that and use the other $20 for a dinner upgrade. :)

If the weather is nice the Zoo is a must see. He digs critters, and I can do with a nice walk. And after that, some of that Ted Drewes Frozen Custard that everyone insists we [i]must[/i] get.

Too bad the National Coin-Op Museum in Laclede's Landing is gone - I had a blast there the last time I had a weekend to kill. Looks like the Landing is full of titty bars now.
