Tailgating before the Green Gold game!

[CHADSTAUS]

I think it would be a good idea to start tailgating before the Green Gold game in the spring. I saw a few die hards out there last year. Who's with me?

[Tatanka]

Oh, Tatanka will be there. Unless of course, we're all floating aimlessly towards Hudson Bay.

[CHADSTAUS]

The only kind of party is a tailgate party!:nod:

[EndZoneQB]

Aren't they working to ban alcohol before the Spring Game?

Who are "they"? "They" can suck it, and I don't even drink.

As far as I know, The date has not been set. I think it would be a blast to have a spring tailgate.

[56BISON73]

From an earlier post---

Talked with Simmers.
They are in the plannning stages of trying to put something together especially for Team Makers and the public.
They are going to have a Friday Night Show case---coaches. players etc. Then you have game day auctions etc.
As far as open ended tailgating is concerned it is in the discussion phase. There is a process that they have to go through. There is the anti alcohol contingent that has to be delt with.
The U is aware that there is great interest in recruiting and the spring game and what that can mean for greater attendance for the auctions etc and creating excitement for the fans going in to the coming season.
There is always the discussion of risk vs reward issues etc etc..
They are aware that the spring game has become a huge event at other institutions but NDSU is on a different playing field because of the anti alcohol faction.

As with anything that is new my advice is be patient and go with the flow at the present moment and let this grow in to something big over time. Because you cant push the nay sayers too much.( Even though I would like to kick them in ass.)
In time this will be a huge also if people will act responsibly and make it worth while for the U to stage these events.

So the good news is----they are working on it.

[stevdock]

I'm just curious, but why can't you tailgate WITHOUT alcohol?? I realize to many these go hand in hand, but I don't see why it has to. Or is tailgating just another event to get drunk at?

[North Side]

Yep,Tailgating and softball are basically just another way for people to get drunk... personally I don't drink just has fun partying sober before the game, and yes I think I am in the .000001% of student at NDSU that don't drink haha

You can, and some do (including yours truly). I just think people should have the option, that's all.

Throwing all tailgating into the "drunk" catagory is wrong. I know my group and I like to have a few but drinking to get drunk is not what we do.

It's a social event. It's fun. Unless drinking is causing problems why wouldn't it be allowed?

[stevdock]

I agree people should have the option to drink even though my family and I do not. But you need to act responsibily or it should be taken away.

Perfect example of this happened last year to my 5 year old son. He hasn't missed a home game the last 4 years. He got showered with alcohol by someone who brought it into the game (we didn't see it until it was too late) and then was too drunk to stand while holding onto it. There's stories like that all over the place, especially before tailgating was allowed. But as someone who doesn't drink, I don't need to see or experience this crap. I'm there to cheer on the team and enjoy the game with my family.

Like I said though, if you can act responsibily then I have no problem with it. If you can't, then I'm all for taking it away.

Are you saying few 'bad apples' should ruin it for the majority of folks who like to socialize with some adult beverages? You can't have it both ways.

Yea you're right majority of people that tailgate are pretty responsible, and I have no problems with others having a couple beers, but like always there are some that go a little over board. Personally I don't drink, but I don't know why they want to get rid of it before the game. Grilling while having a beer just goes along with the game. Its all apart of the atmosphere.

[MNLonghorn10]

no, that'd be gay.

[tony]

Are you saying few 'bad apples' should ruin it for the majority of folks who like to socialize with some adult beverages? You can't have it both ways.

If so, I would argue that those few people who ruin the neo-temperance movement by being totalitarian about it should be banned from not drinking at tailgating in the hopes that their sphincters loosen up to the point that the sticks they and, to a certain extent, those around them, have been suffering from can drop out naturally. :)

If a person just wanted to get drunk, there would still be bars open out there.

Remember the fantastic atmosphere there was tailgating back before beer was allowed? That said, open up a teetotaler tailgating lot and see how the market responds. It might do better than expected.

[CHADSTAUS]

I have been tailgating for many years and agree that there is a very small percentage that take it to far, but the mass majority is there to have a good time. I dont want to see a couple of IDIOTS that ruin it for everybody. We have met and made tons of friends with people that we meet while tailgating at home and on the road.

[aces1180]

Older lady=..... I hear she even hates rubbing alcohol.

I've heard she has been pretty decent to work with regarding tailgating. If you have to meet with her, however, you probably messed up. Basically, I know for a fact that the athletic department works hard to insure everybody can enjoy tailgating with alcohol, as long as people don't abuse the system.

Exactly. And just because you are extremely intoxicated, you don't have to be an asshat. I like, ok I love to drink, especially outside while tailgating(honestly about the only time I REALLY drink), but I have never been kicked out, or even had an issue. You can definitely drink a lot without causing a problem.

Idiots will be idiots with or without alcohol, bottomline.

That was her, not me, nice try tho. Which is why we were only there for like 5-10 mins anyway. Plus, I have never spilled a drink on anyone, soda or otherwise.

Douche, trying to paint me in a different light.

[VanClubPres]

Wow. That escalated quickly. Soooo....anyway, back to tailgating for the spring game....

It would be awesome, I plan to be there. Drinking or not, it is good practice for fall...knock some of the dust of the old wagon.

[CHADSTAUS]

We will be there with you van club. There is a push to get 10,000 season ticket holders. I think we should get 10,000 people to tailgate the Green Gold game.:nod:

[ndsubison1]

Glad to hear she is on board! So who are the people protesting? I want names!!!!! I don't know what I would do with them, but I want them.

This reminds me of the game in Brookings this past season. There were Campus Crusade Students handing out anti-alcohol cups to tailgaters. Hmmm I wonder what they're going to use these cups for?

Are we not big time D1AA or whatever they call it now, or are we Jamestown College football, time to seperate and move everything up. Whats the hold up ??? Lets not overthink this !!! Should I start dusting things off, and plan on buying things new in April 2010, or wait till August 2010 ?? SIGNED - TAILGATOR IN LIMBO/WONDERING WHY THEY WOULD THINK OF TURNING DOWN GOOD MONEY.

Ok, days from the spring game and no decision on tailgating, so back to what I was told a year ago. something very close to this " you can tailgate all you want for any NDSU event, alcohol involved however is at your own risk" In other words I really do want to be the one that is made the example of. I do not need alcohol to tailgate, but what irks me is that a decision cannot be made to allow full fledged tailgating or not. I think NDSU is missing out on a big opportunity for Team maker fundraising, If your hand is out wanting money, than at least give a little bang for your buck. Overthinking things at it's best again as far as im concerned. If I missed the BIG announcement on tailgating then please disregard this post, then direct me where I missed it.

Tailgated the last 3 spring games, about the only ones doing so, and was not a "drunk fest" Why in the world cant someone make a decision, it will do no good for one person to call that wants to tailgate, they will tell you that you can, they are missing the boat, and good money to boot, I think alot of people would dust their rigs off to come out to a sanctioned event. Sorry, either do it like a regular season game or why bother. Good greif, charge 5 bucks a head, pay security and porta potties and the rest goes to Team Makers. THAT WAS EASY !!!

You are preaching to the choir. Ive made a couple of phone calls in this regard. More need to do so. They arent going to do shit if Im the only one who calls.
They already know that there is interest in this. BUT---as I posted earlier there is a process they have to go through. The process will grind to a halt unless there is a concerted effort to bring this about. Its not going to happen by somebody waving a magic wand just because some people want to do it.

People need to swamp Team makers and the AD with phone calls and email and say exactly what you just did. Its the only way its going to happen in a timely manner.

Here's my proposal, but you're going to have to hustle. Everyone meet at the softball field at 10:30 - 11:00 am or so. Tailgate until noon. Head to the softball game at noon. The games usually go about an hour and a half or so. at 1:30 head to the dome. Let's get a huge crowd for BOTH events. And let's all wear toga's like on Animal House.

I made it to the Iowa Hawkeye's spring game last Saturday. They did allow tailgating but no booze. They follow similar protocol to NDSU where they waive the dry campus rule on game days. The enforcements were out and even in a cup we had to dump the beer out.
However, if you get crafty enough and don't make too big of a scene I'm sure you'll be fine.

I did weekend audits sporadically through college. Partying after an 11-7 shift was one of my favorite past times.

Partying with people after their 11-7 was one of my favorite past times as well lol the only excuse I needed was someone elses!

I am going to try and attend. I am bringing my 2 yr old, which I hope will sit through the entire game.

:eek: What?! No! We're trying to fight the Dome Nazis, learn 'em young! ;)

[CHADSTAUS]

Lets show up, have a good time, clean up when we are done and maybe down the road this will be something that will be given more thought in the years to come. GO HERD!!!!!!:bow:

[Bisonguy]

I saw that UND is allowing tailgating for free at their spring game...Not sure why NDSU can't have an official policy allowing it in place?

Nobody would show up unless they could be drunk.

They're also giving away free game tickets for the home opener to any kids K-8 that show up. Not exactly what I'd like to see NDSU doing.

So I'm trying to follow along with this thread but maybe not having much success :blush:

1. Can we bring alcohol?

2. How many bison rigs can we expect in the west lot? :D

3. I don't see why this can't become an event like tailgating during the regular season.

4. Will there be 100% chance of Thunder?

1. Can we bring alcohol? no. Wink. ;) just don't be dumb.

2. How many bison rigs can we expect in the west lot? :D East lot. Ithink 4 but I could be wrong.

3. I don't see why this can't become an event like tailgating during the regular season.exactly. E.g.Alabama sells out stadium for spring game

4. Will there be 100% chance of Thunder? Always! Go Go Bison

See above.

Maybe it's been posted previously on this thread, and it probably has --- not too groundbreaking --- but there will probably be good pregame/postgame crowds at Labby's and Buffalo Wild Wings. The patio on BW's might be the place to be. Wings + Beers + Sports.

I think there are a few on here that are one step away from having "A nice little Saturday". You know, going to Home Depot, maybe Bed Bath And Beyond...if they have enough time.

"Not that there is anything wrong with that....." ;)

Wow that is just amazing. It seems like yesterday that TAB was talking about bringing them home from the hospital.

After this weekend, there is definitely a huge anti tailgate force at NDSU. I have no idea who or what is behind it, but there was definite concern about even the suggestion of any tailgating for the spring game, t shirts that were sold by others because NDSU would not allow them to be sold in the bookstore because of the words tailgate on them.

Anyway, I love the new 10 X 20 Bison Flag that was up at the tailgating.

[CHADSTAUS]

The 10x20 flag was awesome.

Definitely someone is pretty puckered up somewhere in the upper echelons of administration at NDSU... but it might not be who you think it is.

[56BISON73]

Ok so somebody tell me who all of the people are in the pictures.

[MNLonghorn10]

my mug is by the blue cooler next to the bus in the last pic.

[EndZoneQB]

I'm wearing #3 in third and last picture.

[Tatanka]

No, quite the opposite. There were absolutely no issues with tailgating whatsoever. Everyone had a good time, was well behaved, and was treated accordingly by Fargo PD and dome security.

[DjKyRo]

I'm the one in the white #40 jersey. I stood out quite well.

I can guarantee you TAB will not mention by name who it is...;)*

That's what I experienced as well, was just a little thrown off by your comments, I must have missed the joke lol

At least not a funny one, I can see how EndZoneQB was thrown off. :D Tatanka tries, but lacks timing, wit, charm...really any kind of etiquette at all...but he tries.

[Bisonfan1]

Was Bisonfan 1 there????

Bisonfan1 had to work, all employees off running around the country. Wow looked like the best spring game tailgate yet, what a scary looking bunch of people in the east lot, NDSU should have corraled you all and paraded you all to the 50 yard line so everyone could see the faces of the evil ones of tailgating :D
