Doubt it, honestly. But folks in the know could easily let us know. El Chapo sent me a message, but am hoping for someone more in the know.

Re: Football Tailgating Policy
It can't be that hard to find someone "in the know" to complain about tailgating policy---a call to NDSU athletics should take care of it---we aren't exactly dealing with the illuminati or stonecutters here---or are we?

I've been assured by many that seem in the know that the crazy rules are not NDSU's idea, but only to appease a crazy faction of folks who would never allow it without the silly rules. For example, please go back to a previous tailgate discussion when I wondered if NDSU was artificially keeping the tailgate area small to make more money on reserved shots. I was pretty convinced by responses that was not the case, but it was all due to this crazy anti-tailgating faction. I want to know who they are so we can get them to relent by contacting/talking to them. It sounded clear to me the ad's hands were tied..... I want to untie.
It is time for NDSU to make changes when folks are literally going to have to camp out next week to get an unreserved spot, and reserved folks should get in for sure the night before.

So does it make sense that the place to restart the discussion would be the with the new athletic director. It may not be but he would be the new person that might be willing to the new ideas.

Re: Football Tailgating Policy
Alcohol just seems to bother fargo leaders.
A limit on liquor licenses, a multitude of different types to the point they create new ones for new ideas.
The cosco wanted to build in fargo but went to west fargo because of alcohol sales.
So, its not just the dome.
I would like to see some changes, I would park the bus friday night, i would like my own spots instead of sharing, but I wont die if it never happens. As long as I can drink out of my turf mug, I dont need a bottle or can.

Re: Football Tailgating Policy
All of the rules in place doesn't keep me from having an awesome time at tailgating. In fact I don't even think about them.

The rules are only a problem if you want them to be. We get to the dome at least an hour early to wait inline to get to our reserved spot. Then I get out and talk to everyone else whos waiting in line. I have yet to hear anyone bitch about the rules. Seems the majority have a really good time.

And how many other problems and costs does that bring with it.
It is a tailgate not a campground.

It is a campground during the Fargo Blues Fest. Was shocked when I drove by and saw the campers there.
That should change and tailgating needs an expansion. Find a grassy area for overflow.

the licensing and Costco stuff aren't about anything other than regulatory capture. That's the guys who already have licenses protecting their own interests. The tailgating rules are about teetotalers, lawyers, and public relations.

The only thing we would be doing is dropping off our trailer. I dont know what I would set up friday night because it would all have to go back in the trailer till the am. I certainly wouldnt set up a tent and leave that over night with these ND winds. You might get there in the am and your tent would be in Sioux Falls.

Re: Football Tailgating Policy
The rules about alcohol at tailgating aren't the problem, the problem is the limited amount of space available. When over 2/3 of the places where you can tailgate are reserved and there is still demand for spots to the point that there are cars lined up for blocks hours beforehand it's time to find more room. Now, that being said, I know just as well as everyone else here that after homecoming anyone will be able to show up at noon and find a space to park in the ga lot, but I don't think allowing tailgating in any dome lot counts as building your church for Easter Sunday when Easter Sunday becomes half of your Sunday's. Maybe move the student line so that it heads east instead of towards the west lot, move the reserved teammaker parking into the east lot, and add more tailgating in the south lot?
Something, anything, needs to be done not to change the rules or policies per se, but to allow for enough room for all of those who want to participate in the current system.
People will still flock to the west lot, but they won't need to camp overnight and everyone can find a home when the west lot does fill up.

Well this makes entirely too much sense.

Re: Football Tailgating Policy
They blocked off the grassy area to west across 18th St from John Deere building yesterday, that might be a good overflow location and what about the grassy area west of Candlewood?

Re: Football Tailgating Policy
The only change I would kind of like is the let people that dont have a ticket for the game stay and watch the game in tailgate.

That would be nice but security would be needed all the time outside. I am not sure how many security (police) stay outside currently during the game.

At Montana we stayed and tailgated after the game. At one point a guy in a truck marked "security" drove up and and guy said he was head of security and thanked us for being the best most well behaved visiting fanbase he's even had the pleasure of working with. He said there were absolutely no issues he had to deal with that day. Then he drove away and we continued to tailgate. True Story.

Yes, this is very common...the 1 hour after sucks especially when it's nice out but it also doesn't ever really bother me I usually am ready yo go. I'd rather have an hour longer before and skip the hour after

My only real problem with the reserved spots, other than that I don't have one, are that they are the vast majority of spots which creates the need need for the huge lines to get into ga.

The set up ndsu uses for tailgating will create huge lines no matter what, before lot g went reserved you still had to sit in line, has nothing to do with reserved, in fact in makes the ga line shorter as everyone with reserved has a different entrance point

Except, unlike game tickets, NDSU (or whoever gets the parking money from the GA lot where alcohol is allowed, teammakers?) is leaving money on the table by not increasing admission prices to that lot. I may be in the minority here, but I'd like to see them raise the price per spot (say up to 10 or 15 bucks) in that GA lot, at least for the early season games when demand is high. Would reduce the number of people who just park their extra cars there, increase the density of actual tailgating activities, and raise more money for scholarships.
That or open more lots to allow alcohol, again, at least for the early season games when tailgating is at it's peak.
