Great idea! I think those can be had at Target for less than a buck each…if I wasn’t going straight from work to the game I’d try to grab a handful.

i’ll check out a target on my way down

anybody know where we can buy some for cheap? I’d be happy to chip in and buy a bunch and hand them out before the game to people in the first 2 rows behind the bench.
Target has them...
I just called the Target in Columbia Heights (right next to the Columbia Heights metro)…they do have them in stock.
I can’t make it since I’ll be stuck at work til game…anyone coming that way? they’re the clear ones so you can still rock the red.
Online it says it's $8.99
the website says they have the red ones too…they look to be high quality than the $2 ones you see at hardware stores and what not.

If worse comes to worse...
people can use those clear bags that come back with your dry-cleaning.

well crap, I was going to spend $40 or so and forego beers at the game but 4 ponchos wouldn’t have the same impact as 20 (assuming they were $2). I’m going to try and look around at lunch time. Maybe some discount place has some.

The ones I’ve bought from there before are similar to these:

I’m pretty sure the ones I bought from Target were made by Coleman but I’m not 100% certain. Either way, they were flimsy disposable ones that were less than a dollar, as exemplified by the fact that they more or less shredded to pieces after a single wearing. I searched the Target website and didn’t see anything, but they might have something else in the store. I think the key is to look for a cheapie disposable, rather than a somewhat nicer one intended for re-use.

I just called Target back...
cheapest ones they have are $8.99. I live in Chinatown and called some of the novelty stores…but no luck there either.
KMart has the $4.99 red ones if anyone lives near one of those (Silver Spring, Fairfax)

I can swing by on my way down from Baltimore. If people are willing to pitch in, I’ll clean them out of every poncho in stock.

i saw orange blue and white online but no red….
by Sombrero Guy on Apr 28, 2009 12:19 PM EDT up reply actions
has to be red. is there a student on this blog that can find time to hunt these down?
by Natty Bumppo on Apr 28, 2009 12:31 PM EDT up reply actions
Dang, you're right...
SethB made a good point, dollar stores maybe.
by Kevin Ewoldt on Apr 28, 2009 12:31 PM EDT up reply actions
paging all college park residents….
I will do my best to skip out of work early and raid some dollar stores in Greenbelt on my way down.
by Sombrero Guy on Apr 28, 2009 12:32 PM EDT up reply actions
Hmm…I wonder if an outdoors place might have something. Or maybe even Wal-Mart. The Target ones I got previously were from the location in Greenbelt, and it was about a year ago that I bought them- I guess they don’t carry them anymore.
by Kerry Fraser's Hairspray on Apr 28, 2009 11:55 AM EDT up reply actions
they probably carry them during MD football season (red makes sense for MD fans too)

Another possibility might be a CVS or Rite-Aid or something of that sort.
by Kerry Fraser's Hairspray on Apr 28, 2009 11:57 AM EDT up reply actions
I’m in California so I can’t be there, but I’ll Paypal $10 to help see this happen. I’ll trust JP, Pepper or DMG to tell me who to send the cash to. Anyone else care to contribute?
Sonny's Surplus Has Them...
…as will most other Army/Navy stores, ditto for REI and other outdoor camping stores. Usually for a lot less than $8.99
Let's go Caps!
I'm about to head out now,
I’ll buy as many as I can, and I’ll scan the receipts and post them in a fanshot or something if people want to chip in.

Someone should have a sign that reads: "Hey Torts! Don’t Sprayze Me, Bro!
I hate Pittsburgh. And the Pens too.

Gotta rec this, even though “Don’t Spray Me Bro!!” will also work…

I picked up 16 clear ponchos (couldn’t find red) they were like $3.20 each. Not to be cheap but I will be taking up some of you on your offers to chip in haha.
Gonna rush and make some signs real quick. I also bought 5 poster boards to pass out.

And I’m still serious about contributing some cash. Not sure the best way to do that.
by Gould Old Days on Apr 29, 2009 12:26 AM EDT reply actions
