No surprise. I prefer night games but at least I'll be home to watch the national games

[Vet70]

I hope that there will be night games in the Dome come December.

Why is the homecoming game always at 1:00? Is tradition the only factor? I wouldn't mind this game to be a late afternoon game.

I think it has to do with the other homecoming events schedule.

Because we need to practice early tailgating to be prepared for Frisco.

And our annual Game Day appearance. :nod:

They don't want the students to get too blasted?

Or it's easier to stay up all night?

The difference between a liquid breakfast vs. solid breakfast.

Question about tailgating and parking lot spots... I've only tailgated a handful of times, but If I want to bring a rig, how does the system work? Are spots purchased? or is it a first come, first serve type of deal? Any information would be great. Thanks!

Most of the west lot is reserved tailgating. I'm guessing that they have sold all available spots, but you can contact the Athletic Department to find out for sure.

About 1/4 of the west lot is General Admission tailgating, which opens 5 hours prior to game time. The line for that lot typically starts forming the night before, first come, first served.

Of course, you can park in the east side of the dome but there's no alcohol consumption permitted on campus other than in the west lot.

Hope this helps.

And here. We. Go.

Send me a check for $1,000 and I'll let you use my eight spots for a day.

I'll add that 2 years ago arriving 1 hour before the lots open was plenty enough early to get a spot in the lot. Last year arriving only 1 hour early made me nervous about getting a spot.

I won't need that much room, but I really want to find a spot for the home opener (I don't make as many games as I would like) but I want to debut the rig that day.. so I'll keep you posted!

What's up with the nooner start time for the 10/24 game?

[roadwarrior]

You going to that one? :biggrin:

[roadwarrior]

You going to that one? :biggrin:

I'll be there at noon, maybe earlier. :bong:

Called NDSU and they just filled spots that were released so sadly I'm out of luck to find a tailgating spot so i PM'ed NDb2 about rental, but hopefully we can find spots for the home opener and the UN_ Fighting GreenRoughriderHawks game. If anybody knows of people that will not be making those contests and have space available please let me know! Our truck is ready to go! Thanks!

Just have to be like the 'other half' of us that get lined up early to get a spot in the unreserved section. Its generally not too hard, especially the later games in the year. (when it gets colder.) The first games of the year... well get there early. At this point my Dad usually takes the BAVII over the night before. Its an RV so crashing in the RV is no big deal and it basically means tailgating starts (in the line) the night before. NDSU or the Fargo Dome authority - whomever is in charge of that should consider letting the non-reserved and reserved folks set up the night before. The Non-Reserved line is partying 100 feet away as it is.

[Mr Meaty]

Are you saying Friday night tailgating would be a good idea? I disagree, it would be a great idea.

I didn't know they allowed people in Friday night...can you start tailgating that soon or is it under the radar and it's for setup only? How many are there usually on Friday nights?

Nobody "allows" people in, they just start lining up on 17th ave. Just keep in mind that the NDSU police work 24/7. Any open containers are running the risk of some problems....

Pinto on KFAN said there is a tailgating spot for sale on Stubhub for $400. This is for the _nd game.

Thanks for clearing that up, I should have read FrozenTech's comment a little closer and slower.

Can you leave vehicles unattended or do you have to stay with it at all times??

Depends on whether there is a NO PARKING sign.

Good luck doing such an act

[5NDSU8]

If anyone has changed plans or know of anyone with a tailgate spot for rent for the home opener, I'll entertain any offer!!
