I hear there's also going to be a new point system that takes into account how much money you've donated and how long you've been a Team Maker. Not necessarily anything to do with tailgating, just thought I'd mention. Supposedly you'll be able to log in to a site and see your point total and how you rank.

Actually, the points system does have to do with tailgating because it will determine seniority for spots if I'm not mistaken.

Call Pat Simmers with questions, but all season ticket holders, team makers or not, should receive a letter with information when it is released.

Iowa use that point system for the allocation of season tickets. You also get points if you lettered for the school and if you graduated.
Then the person with the most points gets first choice for season tickets. But you still have to pay the going TM fees for the seats and the cost of season tickets. The point system is also used for tailgaiting-parking.
HMmmmmm considering that Gary Barta is the AD at Iowa it kind of a coincidence dont you think.

When did this letter go out? I'm both a season ticket holder and Team Maker and I didn't get a letter yet. I think this is a good idea, are they going to have a special area for larger rigs, kind of hard to squeeze a bus or RV between a Passat and a Malibu if you're not there first.

Won't tailgating still open at the same time for everyone, thus causing lines to get in? Are they going to do two lines, one for people paying and one for people with reserved spots?

roadwarrior
06-09-2009, 03:11 PM
Since we haven't seen what they came up with, its pretty hard to answer specific questions. I had heard though that the big rigs will be able to get in earlier. How else are they supposed to get to their spots if not?

Having a reserved spot means that you wont have to be their first in line to get a spot.

People with the most points get the first choice for up grades on tickets and parking. The west lot COULD BE all reserved IF they sell all the spots. Then single gamers go to the grass. You can ask for parking next to the people who you have been tailgating with. That will be on the application. Leased parking spots will be open 1/2 hour earlier. Application and fees will be in a letter to be sent out with tickets. There will be some bumps along the way until people get used to the system and changes made to fix over sites- problems etc. Thats all I can remember from my conversation as I might have missed a few things.

If the whole West Lot sells out, won't there still be a line to get in to your assigned spots. Either, way great plan, and extra 1/2 hour is grrrrreat.

The premise is IF the west lot sells out and your spot is reserved then there wont be the need to get there as early. For myself and many others their will still be a line but it will go much faster as there will be no need to pay at the entrance as the parking is prepaid. Also there is an added advantage for people who might get up a bit too late or have other obligations early on game day as they can show up when they want to and there spot should still be their.

I am a major proponent for reserved spots, as well as my freinds who I wake up at 4 am to get to the line. I LOVE the idea.

That said, I am not super wealthy, and have only graced this earth with my presence for a meer 26 years, thus have been in TM for only two years, and give what I can. Does this mean that my points will not add up to diddily??

I have been #2-5 in line for 2 1/2 years, (I just can't beat Otis no matter how early I go), and have been within 1-2 spots of the same area for 3 years. I am NOT saying that I am better or a bigger fan than anyone else out there, I just do not want to end up in the North 40 by the airport because i can't dontate big yet.

I might be looking at this greedily or blindly, but I LOVE tailgating and I really do think about ways to better my setup nearly all year. It is an important part of my life. I just want everyone to have a fair shot.

I do not get to play. I will tailgate my heart out.

I heard a while back that plans were in the works to pave the grass field by the west lot, anyone know if that is still the case?

I bet Simmers had a few phone calls/emails today. Not sure if this was posted or not but I was told the new parking plan will be included with your tickets when they are mailed out which is normally in early July I think.

Just got off the phone with Josh.

Reserved spots are 150.00 for the season. That includes 1 spot for parking and one spot to tailgate. (30.00 a game-15.00 per spot)
IF the west lot sells out then game per game parking is 3.00 in the grass. If the west lot DOESNT sell out then parking is like last year 3.00 first come first serve except for those with reserved parking.. More information will be in your season ticket packages which are to be mailed out next week.

Yeah
They are leaving alot of money on the table. I would have bought a spot for 75.00. But I dont need 2 spots at a 150.00
So at 3.00 per game they get 15.00 insted of 75.00. = 60.00 in lost revenue.
I think they really need to rethink this.

My prediction (based on those costs) is that they sell 10 reserved spots. Which means it will be back to long lines waiting to get in 5 hours before kickoff (and you'll get your spot for $3).

Dont know. But when I mentioned I didnt need two spots he said the other option was the 3.00. This really makes no sense as I think they could have sold the place out for 50.00 a space for the season.

I think they are just testing the water. I don't think they really care to sell everything out right now. Test it out with 10 rigs or so and see how it works and go from there.

I believe that some of the larger FCS schools have reserved tailgating areas for ~$250/spot for the season.

IMO- they should open up the gates for reserved spots at least one, even better would be two hours, before the gates open for the first come first serve spots. Otherwise, it will be even more chaos before the gates open.

I believe that with your reserved tailgating spot you will be able to get into the lot 1 hour before the "first come-first serve" spots. You won't be able to drink for that hour...just get set up.

I think they'll sell a lot more than that. I'll gladly pay the $150 and know I have my spot each week. Remember, you can have one vehicle and have all kinds of people show up!

PL stated a while back that it was a 1/2 hr. If that's the case, there's not much incentive to get reserved spots unless you have a big rig.

Heck, GSU sells corporate tailgates for $1k. Per game. NDSU could do the same, but you gotta have some perks.

56BISON73
07-02-2009, 03:59 AM
Remember this is new ground that they are breaking hear at NDSU and I would expect some hiccups in there plan. I just hope that they correct the flaws in a timely manner.
I would think they could offer single spots for 50- 75.00 and two spots for125.- 150.00. That would ensure that those groups that need more space would be able to do so so. And those that dont need two spots can still get a reserved spot. Its a win win situation and they actually will make more money on parking. IMO.

I think that is a very good question that they should be asked as I certainly dont need two spaces. Thats why I think they should sell single spaces.

Just talked to Josh as well.

-$150 for two spots.
-Numbered.
-Will be able to select general area.
-Note if you want to have spots next to someone specific.
-Not necessarily in early (except for the big rigs).

I think the scheme is great. $150 is a deal.

For those of you who only want one spot - make a friend! Bisonville should be a great place to find a tailgating buddy...

My only thought is that they should raise the price of spots in the west lot so that people go there for tailgating, not parking.

6 game season
2 spots $150
=$12.5/spot/game

How much would need to be charged so people park in the south and east lots and only park tailgating vehicles in the west lot? $5? $7?

This would drastically reduce the commotion and make more room for tailgating.

I agree, it shouldn't turn into a "parking lot". Question: What about the people that take up 6-8 spots or more? I'm talking actual what I would consider parking spaces. My group has a rig, that alone takes up 2 spots, but then by the time we have the grill, table, chairs, music, tv, etc all out, I'm sure we easily take up that group of 4 spaces right next to the 2 that our rig takes up...how is that going to work? And our layout isn't overly extensive, like some of you on the south side of the lot who take up 10 parking spaces or more! I'm not complaining about anyone taking up that many spaces, I think it's cool, I'm just wondering how that's going to work with "reserving" all that room. Any guesses anybody?

It's a win-win, but there's nothing there to justify ponying up the additional $114-130 for a reserved spot.

Open up the gates two hours earlier for VIP reserved tailgating(heck, just open the gates an hour earlier and move the GA tailgating back an hour), and I would venture that the $150 spots would be the new 'normal' tailgating within 3-4 years.

Way too much $$$$$ being left on the table with this setup, IMO.

I think that five hours is enough! :hide:

Only die hards-including me- (and those mother F*(&@#$G SQUATTERS) show up five hours early.

I say open the lot at 8 am regardless of game time for those with reserved spots. 2 hours before the game for the lamos who should still be spending $10 a spot to park in the tailgating lot.

If 5 hours is enough, easy solution. VIP's are allowed in 5 hours before kickoff, GA tailgaters 3 hours. :nod:

With a two hour separation, it gives plenty of time for VIP's to lollygag and show up a little late for their reserved spot. It would also help give the VIP's plenty of time to show up before the GA's start lining up at the gates(~1 hour before the lots open for them).

I can already hear TAB pleading to his wife, " But Honey, if we don't get a reserved spot, we'll miss out on an entire two hours of tailgating. Two. Whole. Hours!!!" ;)

All the reserved spaces will be numbered. So you will only be allowed to use the space you have numbers for. Whet I see happening is people getting a group together to get the required space needed. I also see people swapping spaces with other people.
I think for at least the first year there are going to be long lines just like last year as many are going to opt for the 3.00 parking.

Yeah, but it sure would help sell those spots this year. Plenty of other schools only allow tailgating 3hrs before kickoff. Add some VALUE to the reserved spots. The current plan is only an added cost, with nearly zero added benefit. Add some benefit, or this reserved tailgating plan will go the way of the code green towels.

I agree. I just cant imagine that this is the plan they came up with considering all the options available. Ridiculous is the only thing that comes to mind on this one.

Value comes from more tailgate time and showing up when you want and still having your space. But IMO 150.00 is way too steep for cars. Rigs are a different story as they take up more space. You can also add value by raising the single game parking to say 15-20. While charging 50.00 for single spaces for the season. That would force many to buy the parking package which would be cheaper than buying single game. At 50.00 thats still 35.00 more per car per season than what you were getting before and you are getting that money upfront whether thay come to all the games or not.

Its going to be interesting to see how this all pans out.

Yeah, but it sure would help sell those spots this year. Plenty of other schools only allow tailgating 3hrs before kickoff. Add some VALUE to the reserved spots. The current plan is only an added cost, with nearly zero added benefit. Add some benefit, or this reserved tailgating plan will go the way of the code green towels.

Well I am utterly disappointed.

The bold letters have it right. I spent 32 dollars a game, bought 8 spots, but we stacked 5 vehicles in that area. Now 150 dollars for teh season, but you get two spots? That stings. I would have payed 8-10 dollars a spot to know that I would be able to set up the way that I have come to enjoy.

This has been totally heartbreaking. I look forward to tailgaiting all year. This hurts.

Nice move NDSU:
- During a recession increase cost for spots in tailgate lot by 500%.
- Make a quick uninformed decision rather than consulting with tailgaters to make sure this thing really works.
- End up displacing tailgaters from their established spots so that the rich bandwagon folk can move in.
- If it aint broke don't fix it........there was nothing wrong with the lines forming outside the lots. Dedicated fans that came early were rewarded.
- This stinks of another Pat Simmers poor decision.

Reply of an email on the new tailgate plan.

We had a committee that included large vehicles and single vehicle members. Everyone felt comfortable with the plan. You cannot set up in the fire lane, hence the need for 2 spaces. Every purchase will include a parking pass for every spot, if 3 people want to buy 4 spaces they can park 3 cars and set up in one space. If they invade the fire lane they will be required to remove their set up. People can use their spaces the way they want, but will not be able to be outside of their area

The plan will always need adjustment, with full knowledge that we cannot please everyone]

Hopefully this will answer some peoples questions.

The fire lane thing is a little fishy. What is basically being said is that they don't want you to show up and grill off your tailgate because that would be impeding the fire lane... how ironic.

PS - Gully, last time I checked the rig takes up two spaces almost all by itself. It's chubby.

You want names grow some balls and make the calls yourself.
But I see reading comprehension isnt your strong suit. You can get somebody to split the cost with you for the two spaces. May be they havent taught you critical thinking in your weekly reader summer course.
FYI you WERE supposed to buy additional spaces for tailgaiting if you were using more spaces than the one for your vehicle. All that has changed it that reserved spaces cost more money. You will still beable to park for 3.00 just not where the reserved spaces are.

OK fact boy......justify the 500% increase in parking fees. Actually 1000% if you have to buy two for one vehicle. You all want to act all high and mighty but can't really respond to the questions. 500% at a time of recession was uncalled for.........let the common tailgater have his fun parking in the same lot as others. The old system wasn't that bad. No this was a calculated move to get $$$ and allow those with $$$$$$$ to move in and get the good spots!

You can still tailgate for the $3.00. You just won't have the same spot every time. This decision was done for safety and to meet the demands of the tailgaters....who WANTED to pay and reserve the spot. That is a drop in the bucket to what is being spent on tailgating.

The West lot will be full, safe, and the money will go to scholarships. Not a bad deal for everyone involved.

In reality NDSU is the one who will benefit. The well healed TMs really wont be benefiting as they will be paying alot more for there parking spots than they did previously. Same goes for other TMs that arent rich but might have alittle more disposable income. Those people will be in almost the same spots but paying more.
Nobody is getting hurt as anybody who doesnt want to spend 150.00 dont have to. Its still only 3.00.

Granted some people may not get the same spots they did last year. But really is that such a big issue??? People will move and establish a new territory. Or depending on how well the plan goes you might not have to move at all.
To me its not that big of an issue. Especially when I think that at some schools the premium stadium parking cost you huge dollars. 5-10-15 large. For anyone else you pay 15-30.00 to park in peoples yards to tailgate. Or you pay and park miles away and walk to the stadium.
So for the majority 3.00 is still pretty cheap. People dont know how good they have it to be able to park so close to the FD.

If you look at the south part of the west lot its pretty big. Does anyone really think that there will be that many people who will shell out 150.00 to sell that lot out???

Ok, so I am going to go with the flow on this and accept the tailgating terms for this year. I do not agree with it, but it seems this is already in place and it is going to be that way.

That said, I think we can drop the arguement that is as follows:

"At least we do not have to pay thousands like Big D1 schools."

We (unfortuatly) do not draw 60-100,000 people to a game, so I think that part of the arguement can be left out of the discussion.

Try to remember that this is a new plan. It can always be changed. Over time it will be tweaked to hopefully make it better. To make it better those who have suggestions need to direct those suggestion to the proper people. Just bitching on a website isnt going to make it better. Also remember that constructive suggestions go alot further than just saying that the new plan sucks.

I myself dont care for the new plan. They could have made it more tailgate friendly and actually could have made more money by going a different route. But I realise they had to start some where and the reasons for starting the plan.

At this moment in time Iam talking to a few people about splitting the two spaces. If it doesnt work out then there is always the 3.00 option.

I think much of the disgruntlement is the new price and the fear of the unknown---where will we be and will we still have our group together.

For those that want to keep their groups together in the reserved parking section. You have 2 options. 1. all applications for the group should be submitted together. 2. you can write on the application who you want to be next to.

IMO option #1 would be the best.

Are either of the following statements false?

If you want to pay $150/season you get two reserved spots and can show up an hour earlier.
If you want to go with the $3/game option nothing will change for you except that there will be fewer available spots - how many fewer will depend on how many people are willing to spend $30/game for parking.Now all we need is street signs and addresses so we can get our mail delivered there (I suggest offensive players north-south lanes and defensive players for east west). :)

Shelling out $300 for the entire season for a bus will be a little hard to swallow. (4 spots would be needed for most of those) Good thing they can't keep the passengers on the bus from drinking during that hour, as long as you don't step outside with your beverage you should be good to go.

I for one LOVE paying more for my own spot. I am getting a bunch. No more waking up 19 hours early to get in line. I just put the sticker in my truck and drive on in....an hour before everyone else. Our group is getting a ton of these.

If you don't like it....go ahead and park on the paved other portion of the lot for $3 fee. Pretty simple. Why is there a panic over this. If you listened to almost anyone in the long lines last year, they were begging for a better option, more safety (yes there were several VERY close calls, that led to many complains from families), and less chaos. I just am excited not to see any old women running out putting cones in their spots before I can drive there....even though I was there 3 hours before them.

I think the money seems like a big deal because it's up front. If we got to put a deposit down on our reserved spots, and you can just pay down your balance at the games(keep it atleast "current"), I bet more people would do it.

I agree tho, nothing pisses me off more than people running out and standing in parking spots when I've been there for hours. I was honestly surprised they let that happen(security didn't have much else to watch, we all have prebought our tickets)? It'd be easy for them to just say "sorry, unfair".

Either way, I'll be getting there as early as possible.

Not to bring this up again, but found this interesting/creativeish info on new reserved Baylor Tailgating section.


"Baylor recently opened up the “Stadium Tailgating” section located outside of the south end zone. For $150 tailgaters get a 30′ x 30′ parking space that includes FREE cable hookup, FREE electric hookup and a parking pass for one vehicle. As a bonus for the 2009 season, tailgaters that reserve a season long tailgating spot will receive a FREE 10′ x 10′ Baylor Pop-Up Tent. By the way, that $150 is not per game, it for the entire season. Baylor has six home games in 2009 so that averages out to $25 per game. That’s really a good deal considering a spot within the Stadium Tailgating section is $30 for a single game and spots are not guaranteed. Also, the “Stadium Tailgating” section is not off in some remote area of the parking lot where you have to hike four miles to get to the stadium. It is right by the South End Zone."

I would have also liked to see the TM points but I can see the logistical nightmare involved with issueing the points for large groups who go in together. Who gets the points? Because only one person has his name on the spots. Then you have the issue of priority when swithing the group leader every year so the points can be evenly distributed.
But its really a none issue with me as no matter where you go you have to pay for parking.

I think they should use a very simple system like this:

First, you design an on-line game like the one described here (http://www.bisonville.com/forum/showthread.php?t=16525&page=18) except that instead of brutes, each squad gets a "brute bus" and instead of a 1-on-1 format, it's a free-for-all brawl.

Second, using your points you can upgrade your brute bus with flame throwers, .50 caliber machine guns, turbo boost, Hello Kitty decals, etc - in this way, the folks with lots of points get an advantage.

Third, assemble all the players on the virtual lot and let them try to stake out their turf. At the end of one hour, stop and find out who is where.

It's such an obvious idea.

Also, you should know that if you had a group of people they took the person with the most points and not cumulative. So lets say you work for a company that supports Bison athletics but doesn't tailgate...sign your company up as a member of your group and BAM! instant way better spot.

They have the window flags at Wall Mart in Fargo right now for 3.50 each, also got some NDSU magnets at Scheels and Wall Mart to dress up the Expedition. Lakes - rumor is you will be bare chested in the end zone with NDSU painted on your chest.

I think they always said that they were going to use the point system to assign the spots.

Does anyone have the site that you use to look up your points?

I heard it was sent out, but the card looked more like an ad for tshirts, and
I probably threw it away.

They use the login for all access (on gobison.com) to find your point total. It sounds like your account number and password went out in the garbage.

I will be happy to send that info to you when I have a copy of your signed agreement along with Gene Taylor to have the new BB arena built. The sooner the better.
