Sorry if this is an irrelevant post. I graduated in '19 and didnt attend any games last year due to COVID. I've been looking at grabbing a tailgate spot this year to go along with my season tickets. Basically just curious what the best way to go about it is. Where should I get a lot, and do I need to grab one of the packages the school offers or is there a way to just secure a lot without all the tents/equipment included?

Definitely not irrelevant!

Not sure how much you're looking to spend on tickets/parking, but if you can get into the Blue Lot, there are a lot of great tailgating spots that you can set up yourself in there, or join in with existing tailgate groups.    I know you can tailgate over in the Orange Lot (where the old Fouts Parking lot is) as well.   As long as you have your own equipment, you can set up/tear down yourself.    I wasn't aware of a tailgate package Athletics sold!

I REALLY appreciate the help! Do I have to contact someone to pay for a lot or is it like a first come first serve type of deal?

When you say "lot", do you mean a spot to tailgate?     If so, it's a first come, first serve, and for the Blue Lot, most of the sweet spots are taken several hours before kickoff.

Officially, the "Lots" are the Green/Black/White lots for the uppity, hoity-toity folks, the Blue lot for the majority of season ticket holders on the Home side, and the Orange & Yellow lots, which are pay-per-game lot for those that buy tickets per game, or have cheaper season tickets.   The Red "lot" is just an empty field, so I'd recommend you have ability to drive on it if you want to try it.  But I believe it's also pay-per-game.

I am about 100 feet from that spot! Usually almost aligned with the IPF.

Once you are set up that first game, wander around (shouldn't be hard from your handle here on the board) and mingle with some of the other tailgates.  I am certain you will have new UNT friends that ARE football fans within about an hour.

Sweet! I'll take you up on that. Goes both ways, I love to cook so my tailgate will be an open door.

rvs do have some reserved spots in certain areas of green grass....be wary of that.  the spot golfinggomez highlighted is fine on the left, but the grassy area may be reserved for rvs.
