Probably can't crash the NFL Owners' Meetings either. 😎 You have to preregister and pay a $249 fee. You have state your interest in the activity in order to get a badge. Thursday World Class business meetings are the most important. DCI staff and corps dedicated representatives sit in a square table arrangement. Corps Directors / Corps Managers and others sit in rows behind them. Only dedicated representatives can speak or ask questions. If something is said that is unclear or confusing those in back are rapidly texting their representatives to ask for a clarification. Open Class/SoundSport is Friday night and the same arrangement. At Open Class/SoundSport meeting it is almost the same as the World Class except for the financial information. I have attended the Open Class/Sound Sport Meeting several times. Open Class Meeting presenter asked for questions from those sitting in audience every year. All sessions are open to everyone with a badge. A wealth of information can be gained by attending the Januals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LabMaster Posted January 5 Share Posted January 5 7 hours ago, Tim K said: First, I think finals at Gillette if LOS is unavailable is more of a wish for those of us from Boston than a reality, but for the WC corps, the trip from Allentown to Boston is approximately 300 miles, Allentown to Indy is approximately 650 miles. Since most kids fly home, that would save on bus transportation. You would also have the advantage of two airports, Logan in Boston and T.F. Green in Warwick (located here the old Rocky Point where you could have a holiday 🙂). Getting the fleets back could cost more. It could be more expensive for fans. Though there are some hotels in the area, for most Gillette would mean pricier hotels not located near the stadium which would mean renting a car. There’s train service for football and soccer. Could be for this. Lots of local hotels and a Cape vacation too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And it may not become apparent that it won’t be done in time with only a week or two before finals week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greg_orangecounty Posted January 5 Share Posted January 5 I'm unsure what "Januals" are, and I don't see mention of it, but does it mean we're safe from woodwinds on the field for at least another year.....? 😬 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless it's changed, train service for the sport ball teams was paid for by the sport ball teams to MBTA. I doubt DCI has the cash for that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TOC Posted January 5 Share Posted January 5 12 hours ago, Terri Schehr said: I’ll bet @rpbobcat can answer that question. Both he and Jim work on stadium projects in different fields of engineering. My nephew is the Dir. of Facilities at Gillette and has been involved with their major changes recently. Did Jim make it to Foxborough too?

Some DCI fans still complain about the elevator dinging and the parking cost in 2005. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
