Need 50-55 to make this happen. I'll do the legwork if people will commit. The objective of this is to get fans there and back in 24 hours and to do so as safely as possible. The cost would be lower out of Charlotte but I don't live in Charlotte. If anyone in Charlotte wants to organize similar travel, count me in. I'll defer to you. Otherwise, read on and respond if you want to go. I told the bus company I would be in touch next week to confirm or cancel. Here goes --------

Email me to reserve your seat: appfan74@gmail.com

Good price, I am considering the Big App Bus Road Trip

No vomiting? I always look forward to that part of a trip..............

I sent yOu a PM

Sounds great! Driving to CLT is much easier than driving to Montgomery ... especially solo.

Is fighting at the game allowed as long as we finish before re-boarding?
Sending e-mail. Definitely in.

Very very interested in this! Can't reserve a spot just yet but once I figure some things out I will email you. May even have more than myself reserve a spot.

I'm in from Charlotte!

Great idea. Any chance it could pick up/drop off in Statesville?

I asked the bus company to price the least expensive route out of Winston-Salem and it was US-52 to I-85.

I'm in from Durham.

** FRIDAY UPDATE **

As of 5:00am, I have 36 that want to reserve a seat. Let's get this done!

** SATURDAY UPDATE **

As of 6:20am, I have 28 confirmed. I am waiting for confirmation from two parties (Chris and Barry) who would be up to 13 more. There are 2 others on whom I am waiting for confirmation. Therefore, at best we are at 41.

Some are traveling, some need to talk with family and friends. Should know late Sunday if this is going to come together.

Pass the word.

I just emailed you , I'm in from Winston.

If needs be to make this go, I'm happy to "buy" an extra seat. The cost of two bus spots compared to hotel and driving by myself make the bus an excellent idea! Thanks for working to get this together.

Together we RIDE!

Wonder if our opponent would buy a few seats? For example, there have to be some Ohio fans in WS or CLT
