Ringos and Scruffy Duffys Block Party

[SamsRams]

I have had a lot of good times at the Shop at Legacy. Year one was amazing and 2 and 3 were great also. But this year I have talked the owner into stepping it up a notch. They will have that parking lot closed and a tent with DJ and bands and bars and all kinds of fun.

Dreams do come true!!

Guaranteed this place will be packed. You'll see some pep rally tickets on StubHub now.

Yeah alumni association asked them to wait til 9 to start. If they did then they would promote it for a fee.

Texas is big. There's room enough for two places.

[Tatanka]

Why not both?

because this is better than the pep fest.

[OrygunBison]

Yeah, I was pretty un-impressed with the pepfuss last year. Really happy to have an alternative. I hope to be there.

[SamsRams]

Agreed, especially since the pep fest will sell out.

[Bison-Knuckle]

Anyone know if there will be a "cover charge" for this Block Party?

[SDbison]

Agreed, especially since the pep fest will sell out. Did you intend purple font? There is no way the pep fest sells out this year.

[Bison03]

The Pep fest was too small the first year, better the second year, and probably peaked last year. For people who have never been to Frisco for the game before, they will want to go and be a part of it; especially if they are with their kids. For most people it's more of a "Been there, done that" mentality and just want to find some Bison fans and drink and have fun. This party sounds like the place to be for those people.

Our group will be there!

Bumpy bump?:confused:

[Jay]

Will it sway your decision either way if a cover exists?

[SDbison]

Will it sway your decision either way if a cover exists? Let's say there is a cover and it is $5 or $10.........still getting more for that (live band) than the $15 each for the pep fest.

[Bison03]

Will it sway your decision either way if a cover exists?

Let's see...
Flight: $325.00
Hotel: $400.00
Rental Car: $100.00
Game Ticket: $55.00
Food/Drinks: $150.00

Paying a $5-$10 cover: HELL NO, I ANIT WASTING MY MONEY ON THAT!!

[EndZoneQB]

I wish this was happening when I was there :(

[MNLonghorn10]

I wish this was happening when I was there :(
Maybe if you would've gone last year

[Jay]

Exactly... and if you're worried about a cover you shouldn't be going on this trip. Party!

[BYZEN]

Not worried about a cover, just curious since say our group may have already bought pep tickets and may be thinking of going to both events

[BisonNation11]

Yeah, I'm thinking start Friday at Wild Pitch, hit up the BN Celebration, then back to this party of the ages. Somehow get back to hotel room, nap, wake up, start it all over again at tailgating. If things go well Friday night, rinse and repeat minus the celebration hosted by NDSU (had to be technical as there will be plenty to celebrate Saturday night).

[Bison-Knuckle]

I don't think anyone said they were "worried" about a cover charge. It is just good information to know. For example, If I am having an excellent time at another establishment on Friday night....and I know it's $20 just to get in the block party....I might just stay at the establishment that I am currently at and continue to have an excellent time. If I know the block party is free....I might say, wtf lets go check it out....if it sucks we can come back here and continue to have an excellent time.

[marenlee]

Count myself and the Mrs. to be there!

What ages? I'm 55 -- can I go? I can act much younger, though. Wait, a few of you already knew that. :biggrin:

[THEsocalledfan]

What ages? I'm 55 -- can I go? I can act much younger, though. Wait, a few of you already knew that. :biggrin:

I'm 40. Pretty sure anyone 40 and above is not allowed.

[bri-dog]

That's fine with me. I've got a fake ID.

[marenlee]

I'm 40. Pretty sure anyone 40 and above is not allowed.

So like 3 people from Bisonville will be there? :hide:

[BisonNation11]

1. As long as you're of age, age doesn't matter.

2. Never act your age

3. Party

4. Rinse and repeat Saturday

5. Post pictures of said party so Teach can see what he's missing out on

[THEsocalledfan]

You got it. It will be u and Mrs. T.

[56BISON73]

For a certain demographic you are correct.

[SamsRams]

Owner is spending a few bucks on tent, port a potties, entertainment and other things. So yes I belive there to be a 5 dollar cover

[SamsRams]

Asking if the cover is for the full day or if you have to repay each time you enter and how many port a potties will be there. Any other questions?

Capacity for the space he has available? I don't remember the size of the parking lot he is blocking off.

[BisonNation11]

Will there be a live buffalo? Do they have backup beer delivery trucks on standby? Will they become TeamMakers? Can they bring in the guy that plays Thunderstruck on his fire-breathing bagpipe?

[Tatanka]

Could he fit in more people if he removed the corner supports of the tent?

[Bison4peat]

How many points do I need to get a chance at allotment tickets for entry?

[SamsRams]

8 port a potties but you can go in their bars also.
Cover is once per day. You may reenter for no cost

[runtheoption]

Ask him how he pronounces "Bison".

[NDSUBowler]

Do you know if the bars are going to do specials for the block party?

Cheap booze = more chance I stay for a longer time

[56BISON73]

Could he fit in more people if he removed the corner supports of the tent?

:rofl::rofl:

[Comfortably Numb Bison]

Do I get free drink tickets with cover charge cost? Are the chips free, with my dinner?

[Comfortably Numb Bison]

Oh wait another question! Will ISU fans have their own "section" of the bar?

[SDbison]

Oh wait another question! Will ISU fans have their own "section" of the bar? No, Bison fans stole their section from them.

[HerdBot]

Add a corner level party deck to the tent?

[Wally]

Add a corner level party deck to the tent?


With flat screens of course

[NDSUBowler]

If any of you are like me and are beer snobs, Ringo's seems to have a fantastic beer menu.

Nice to see a bar with 4 beers on BeerAdvocate's top 250 list (Weihenstephaner and La Fin Du Monde I have had and are amazing, St Bernardus ABT and Ayinger Celebrator I have never tried but will try for sure) as well as a TON of other super highly rated beer.

I'd likely go to a bar like this without the block party...the block party is just a great added bonus.

[westnodak93bison]

Is lefse on the appetizer menu? If not does he know what it is?

[Green1]

Lutefisk, meatballs and some sort of green, jello mold with fruit in a state of suspended animation in it. /purple.

Nice they have Strongbow. My new favorite cider.

[EndZoneQB]

Looks like a good list for sure, I think I could find a few there to try.

No thanks, they discontinued the dry version, that's what made Strongbow good. Now it's like every other cider out there.

I have tried quite a few of the ciders. Love the Strongbow, Smith&Forge & Johnny Appleseed. Am always looking for something new.

Have you tried Stella Cidre

[marenlee]

Love the beer selection. Gotta do my best and stick with that. Without sounding like a cheap ass. Are there going to be any specials for the party?

[Thomas96]

This is great Ringos throwing a block party. Glad my hotel is in Houston this year....should be a cheap cab ride. Lord knows I had trouble walking the past two...

[StL Bison Fan]

My favorite: Black and Tan. I'm set.

[westnodak93bison]

How does it compare to Magners? Magners taste reminds me of how a dirty sweat sock smells. Yuck!

[bisonridge]

Since they have such a wide selection of beer there menu do you think many ND residents will try anything other than bud or miller? I doubt it

[bisonfanette]

How many points do I need to get a chance at allotment tickets for entry?

123 or 188 points.... but not 138 or 160!

[Bison bison]

123 or 188 points.... but not 138 or 160!

I'm not sure if I find this funny.

But... will the music be too loud? Will we be able to bring our Gold Pom Pons?

[BisonBabe]

Have not tried that one and after your description I will make sure not to.

[SamsRams]

Capacity of tent is 2500-3000

Suggested a good promotion to owner for former athletes, I think he may implement it and start promoting it today

I thought Ringos was a teammaker at one point. not sure how to check to see if they still are.

[Hammerhead]

Only when the Bud and Miller taps run dry. Any port in a storm...
