Bowl Tailgating

UNT 90 Grad · 2024-12-11T03:52:43Z

So looking at pre purchasing parking passes, parking looks to be in garages. Do people park in the garages and then drag their tailgating gear to the boulevard? If so, what a beating.

We were thinking of setting up a tailgate in the garage. Just hope it warms up some!

SMU normally does the Boulevard. They have sponsored tents. Not sure what the norm is for non SMU events. I was planning on either eating at Mockingbird Station, or participating in the Alumni tailgate.

Yeah we don't allow the Blvd to be used for non SMU events. Basically there is not any tailgating for the minor bowls and other events. The Blvd is owned by SMU and reserved for SMU sporting events. You will just need to go to some of the sports bars and restaurants off Greenville and over by Le Madeline etc if you are wanting to do any pre-game meals etc. Also most of the lower cost parking is on the other side of 75. I would expect most UNT people would be taking the public transit that drops off at Mockingbird Station.

Unrelated to tailgating, are general admission tickets only for the lawn? If so, are you allowed to bring your own seats?

The lawn in the South end zone was replaced by the new End Zone Complex. The GA seats are in the north end zone (regular bleacher seats).

Tailgating at La Madeleine is such a SMU thing

Out with the BBQ and beer, in with the quiche and green tea.

Any idea how this was setup? Was it a bowl sponsored tailgate area or Texas State fans organized?

This was our University/Alumni Association's official Tailgate. Our opponent (Rice) also had theirs setup a little ways down the Boulevard. I'd expect a similar arrangement this year, although it should be much larger with the Mean Green showing up.

Private tailgates weren't allowed, or at least had to be purchased from a bowl vendor, which was whack.

Just got refund on my tickets

The mean green ticket office called and said the tickets I already purchased were not charged correctly and I needed to pay an additional $50 to keep the seats I already paid for.

I told them to kick rocks and refund the entire amount.

That’s on the Bowl. They’ve changed the ticket pricing 3 times since the game was announced.
