Usually we have a team dinner on Saturday. So far I'm looking into Friendly's, Applebee's, Ruby Tuesday and TGI Fridays. I talked to Fridays and they wont give us reservations but I might go early and start waiting for us/ we can do spirit sisters if we need to wait somewhere. What I need to know are:
1: when most people would prefer to eat
2: where you would prefer to eat
3: any cheap local suggestions I have not covered
Please be aware that it is very likely we will be split up in any restaurant and that I will try my best to accommodate the majority.

Ohmygod, Casa Grande is amazing. It's probably a little farther away than the others, but it is SO worth it.
Also, can I just say how excited I am for this weekend? I can't wait!

hey mary, thanks for getting a jump on that. that should make life easier.
and my 2 cents is that while I LOVE mexican, i really dont think its a good food genre to eat the night before a match. if no one else thinks that would be a problem though then go for it cuz i dont mind that much.
as far as time, it would depend on who else is playing and at what times if we're going to stay to watch any other matches. plus about 1.5 hours of shower time to be safe

Hey guys,
Kasie and I wanted to stay for dinner on Saturday, so maybe could we maybe do it earlier? I understand if it's not possible, but I would really love to stay around and celebrate with y'all.
Also, I agree w/ Molly that Mexican is Never a good idea when a) we have a big match and b) there are 6 girls to one bathroom.

There's a Red Robin on Brook Road (route 1) which is pretty close to the hotel

okay team- here is what Ive found out
Basically no one takes reservations and mexican before a match is a horrible idea.
because of these things we will have an early dinner and have to wait a while to be seated and we will be split up.
My guess is we will stay to watch the second match, and do spirit sisters so we may be at the hotel by 3. I would like to get rolling by 4:30 so we can be there by 5 and eat around 6.
most likely currently is Applebees.
I will look into red robin because that sound the most fabulous and we've been before how silly of me to forget!

red robin is also not with the reservations. I called fridays and luke was very helpful but still cant give a reservation. he did however say that we would be seated if we split up around 6 so I will get there early and put our names down (5ish) we will still eat around 6 you just have more shower time and less sitting around time. so get to fridays by 545 and we wont have to wait for too too long I hope.
