Tailgating question.

[Farmer63]

Thinking of putting together a tailgating reunion of sorts with some friends for the Delaware game... so here's my question. What time to do need to be in line to expect to get a spot for the general admission tailgating spots? I'd be looking for two spots. Anybody have any experience?

That's homecoming so the correct answer is probably about 6-8PM the night before.


And no, I'm not kidding.


Another option is to see if anyone is selling their reserved passes since they did start giving passes for each game for all the reserved spots allowing you to sell the ones you won't need on a per game basis. Again, since it's homecoming those will be tough to come by and they'll be sold at a premium I'm sure. It's just a matter of how much your time waiting in line is worth to you.

Is that the situation for every game? Do you pretty much need to be there the night before to get a spot?

Every game to be guaranteed a spot

Early in the season yes. This year might be a little unique in that the 2nd game against UNA might be a little lighter on demand than the season opener, homecoming, or the SDSU game will be since all 3 of those high tailgating demand days will be in September as well. By the time you get into mid-October and November the lines get lighter to the point where you can show up and hour or two before the GA lot opens, get in line, and be fine. Usually by the playoffs you can show up as the lots open or even shortly after and still get a spot (but you can also get reserved spots for the playoffs fairly easily if you want them as well).

So, does anybody have any information on how this tailgating exchange deal works? Is there a link?

[runtheoption]

Speaking of, anyone have their season tailgating passes yet?

[EC8CH]

So he should probably be in line right now?

Same as tickets. Check Craigslist, StubHub, Bisonville ticket exchange, alumni ticket exchange, etc.

It's impossible to know for sure so to guarantee yourself a spot you need to be in line the night before. Last year I gave up on the rat race and showed up about 1 hour beforehand. Early games it was a crap shoot, I wanna say I didn't get a spot for the opener or homecoming. Games later in the year was easy to get spots.

OK. Good info. More than anything, I was wondering if you needed to be in line the night before, or if 5 o'clock in the morning worked. Thanks!

How many people are you expecting?

[Farmer63]

How many people are you expecting?

Not a big group, just hoping to get maybe 12 or 14 together. I'd just need room for one suburban and an empty spot beside it to set up a table and some chairs. Most of them would park somewhere else and meet up at the lot.

Does anyone have an extra reserved spot? I am going to be taking 2 of my boys and also my niece and nephew (5 year old niece and 7 year nephews first game ever) so I want to show them the tailgating and all the fun that is out there.

Thanks.

[BattleBorn]

Long shot but, if anyone has 2 for the SDSU game, PM me please. I'll bring you a unique bourbon.

Another question. Was Lot NQ a tailgating lot last year... or is that new?

I drove through there yesterday. It sure looks new... approximately 100 spaces or so.
