I am out in Western ND and would like to put together a tailgate mini bus but after a 6 hour drive I have no desire to find a campground to park it and then have to get in line at 6:00 AM the next morning. Coming in the night before and getting situated would make a world of difference and only increase the tailgate scene.
Yet another reasonable proposal. But what is your plan to deal with the Anti-Christ who will surely come if implemented?

Am I missing something here?
If all tailgating is reserved, but you have an overflow GA grass lot, then not ALL tailgating is reserved. Right?
Are you proposing that the reserved spot rates be increased to specifically pay for the new GA spots. What would the overflow GA spots be? Free?
Who pays for the security of the night before, the reserved spots again?
Not trying to argue (yet ;)), just trying to understand.
Re: Football Tailgating Policy
Is there any kind of waiting list for reserved spots? Is there any turnover with them? Everyone in our group was denied when the NW lot was converted, but we've haven't been asked with our ticket renewals if we'd like another shot at some. What is the process for that?

I like having some GA in the west lot. The online ticket thing sounds like a good idea though.
Re: Football Tailgating Policy
I think there are only a few people who don't think this could be expanded. It's absurd how restrictive the tailgating is (and yes, I know what it was like once).
Here at Kansas, you can tailgate from sun up to sun down right on campus next to the stadium. There is limited parking but plenty of space to set up along the the grass all the way up the hill. This is in a residential area so even the neighbors are ok with it.
There is no reason why the Dome with the tons of parking and flat land all over the place can't host more tailgating for longer.

You have to ask. Call Helena. FYI-- Any openings that may come up will be filled according to priority points.
Re: Football Tailgating Policy
I am not a linguistic major but to specify...
*All current spots will be Reserved
*New GA grass spot's don't open the night before and can be purchased for $25 day of game.
*Increase in reserved fees can handle guard duty the night before a game. We are talking about a rent a cop type deal for this as you only need someone to patrol around in a golf cart to ensure a party doesn't break out somewhere. One would hope that Bison fans would police their own in that type of situation. Remember, it would be "quiet hours" until 7:00 AM. Personally I think it would be a blast to roll into town, park the rig in my spot, roll over to BWW for some grub and brews and then turn in early for the big day.

Actually, call Missoula--way more people tailgating than at FFD, way more than one lot and way less security. Amazing how they can pull that off.
Also, Socalled, wtf are you talking about relative to K-State?! There were kegs in the building NDSU rented and ETOH was allowed everywhere else in TG lots. Were you there?!

Dude, in 2013 the official tailgate rules said no alcohol. It would be in a thread somewhere. K St. Posters let's us know ahead of time not to worry about it. I had plenty of beer that day.
Re: Football Tailgating Policy
Ndsu paid a whole week of extra security to stop a hypothetical invasion to paint a buffalo on campus......just sayin
