Orange Lot Tailgating

[yyz28]

For the verteran tail-gater's - How early do you need to show up to get a spot in the Orange lot?

We've never had a chance to do the tailgate thing, and were looking to come early this Saturday!

Thanks!

I usually get there before 11 so Ican get a spot by the bus stop. I don't think the lot filled last game, maybe it did, but not before 4 o'clock or so.

I was one of the last cars they let it right around 4 o'clock

Ok... one followup stupid question - Does anyone sell North Texas EZ-UP's or canopys? I've been meaning to pick one up, so I might as well get one with our logo if I can get my hands on one. Thanks!

Not that I have found...

Nor have I seen a green EZ-UP ...

This week is Homecoming, which is historically the biggest crowd of the year outside of an SMU, Baylor or Navy (this year). People come to Denton early. Based on what I've seen in the Orange lot this year (I'm in Blue this year) you should move your normal departure time to an hour earlier. ENJOY!

I bought one a few years ago (9'x9', I think) at Sports Authority that was dark green (unfortunately, it is dying and I will have to replace it soon -- hope I can find another one in green, most seem to be blue).

Wal-Mart has 'em in Green! Thought I'd share.

Can't understand why they shifted the pay lot to the Orange which fills completely up, whilst the Blue lot sits there half empty. For the first two games, we've arrived about 3:30 and are some of the first into the Blue lot, while the Orange lot is nearly full already. They must've overestimated the number of MGC members that they would have this year.

Not an estimate, a real number. Now, that doesn't mean all of the MG Club members tailgate, but when you give financially, you get to park closer to the stadium. Whether the donors show up or not doesn't matter, they will still have a spot closer to Fouts.

There is a 1-1 ratio for spots and donors. Those spots are sold.. they just either 1) haven't shown up by the time you walked in or 2) Aren't showing up.

Also, keep in mind that they are now doing the crappy (and I mean CRAPPY) festival parking. So they are squeezing all the cars to the south end of the blue lot and exposing all the empty spots. In the past, people parked where they wanted, covered the empty spots with tents and chairs and effectively hid the dirty laundry of the blue lot blues.
