Tailgating

[eppy4life]

i've never organized a tailgate before. how does it work? do i need some type of a pass or am i just paying for parking once i get there?

You can tailgate in the Orange Lot for $10. Blue and Green are for Mean Green Club members.

and the students will be in what lot?

and the students will be in what lot?

I drove by the stadium today and it appears to me the students will be in the open field next to the old tennis courts across the street fromt the Super Pit.

How early do you think I need to get there for the orange parking lot?

How early do you think I need to get there for the orange parking lot?

Its a whole new ball game this year, last year you could get there around 4:00 pm but this year you better be there between 12:00 - 1:00 or earlier.

I think orange will go fast. Hard to tell, since we don't know what turnout will be like this year. Orange has the fewest spaces.

[infuryum]

Expect a significantly large turnout. I would arrive early if I were you. All that means is more time grillin' dogs and drinking choice beverages instead of sleeping in or mowing the lawn!

Can students pay $10 to park in the Orange lot? I was thinking about tailgating for the first time ever...

[infuryum]

Students don't come out that early in my experience. I'd bet that the Orange lot is full by the time we wake up from Friday night and think about tailgating at Fouts. I imagine you'll have the lot all to yourselves.

If I'm wrong, blame Trey.

Certainly. They have no idea if you are a student. But if you live on campus, I would suggest getting some friends to help carry stuff to the field and just setting up camp.

Is The Beerman going to be playing this year?

That's a good question. I don't know if they permit tailgating in any of the remote lots.

"Tailgating" is permitted all over campus on game day. The police don't ticket for open containers, etc.

The orange lot will be full by noon or one o'clock. If you're the first vehicle in your party to get the tailgating spot, it is HIGHLY recommended you get there in the morning. If you plan to have other vehicles join you in the parking lot, you MUST enter together or risk not being able to park next to each other. If you arrive and the lot is full, you can park your car in ANY space on campus (minus the student tailgating section and handicap spots... duh) and walk over to the orange lot to join your party. You will be allowed by the attendants to pull up next to your party to drop off your stuff, but then you will be directed to the exit so that you may park on campus.

If you're walking to the parking lot from campus, stop by the SGA tent and the Athletics tent on the corner for a hot dog!

So the only GA tailgating area is that small orange lot? That stinks.

I don't really understand how parking Friday night would work...won't they tow your car the next morning to make room for tailgating? Or am I supposed to sleep in my car?

[infuryum]

This is actually turning into a mess. I'm on the phone with athletics and the police department. Give me a few minutes. I'll get it sorted out.

[Green Nightmare]

Ok i got a 2 part question

I have a blue lot pass, can I use that to get in the Orange Lot if I want to?

ALso anyone know the measurements of the Parking SPaces. I am trying to get some astroturf cut

thanks

[infuryum]

I'm tempted to say no since spaces in the Orange lot will be so limited. I'll find out for sure, though, and I'll look into the space dimensions.

[GabeGMG]

I'm pretty sure you'll have to pay to get in the Orange lot regardless. If you're going to do that, I'll buy your current parking pass

[Baby Arm!]

You could always tailgate in the free parking lot between the Super Pit and Clark Park. I never understood why more people didn't do this. It's free, there are actually shade trees and if you park on the back row you got all the space of Clark Park. Still have to get there early though. Since it's so close to the stadium it tends to fill quickly too.
