No we won't spend that much, but we do have that amount at our disposal, obviously we want to stay a lot lower, maybe around $1500 - $2000...we are getting ready to take our annual bus trip to a Notre Dame game, this year in South Bend. We'll be leaving PA on Thursday morning, stopping near Toledo Thursday evening, then finishing the trip Friday morning, staying in Elkhart and then hitting the campus Friday and then Saturday for the game. Hubs and I do the tailgate, some of which we prepare ahead of time, some is all done out there. Game time is 3:30 so we have to be wrapped up by about 2:45. Getting to tailgating spot at about 8:00 am.
Looking for ideas for an awesome menu. We try and bump it up a notch each year, but I don't know for this year. Last time we were out there was two years ago, for breakfast we did Creamed dried beef over fried potatoes, fruit, danish, coffee, bloody mary's, mimosa's, all for breakfast. When that was done we broke that down and put out a huge pot of my homemade MD crab soup, peel & eats, and some chips and dips, oh and some pulled ham, all for lunch.
Then broke that down and served baked potato, filet mignon, small (like 4 inch) lobster tail, and ceasar salad.
We have a generator, but not no room for a smoker. All prepared food is cooked on Wednesday and ALL food has to travel in coolers iced down for basically 3 days. We have cookers to heat things up in our room on Friday evening so some can be hot as soon as we get there. We also have a big "corn" pot on an outdoor burner, two travel grills that actually work very well, and three propane burners for frying pans.
So, anyone have any ideas you can throw my way? We leave next Thursday, 11/1. Any ideas, suggestions, etc? This is for 46 people.

How do you kick it up from that! 
Or a spaghetti / meatball dinner would be easy and different.
