Football Tailgating Policy
Not sure if anything changed. Here is a link to NDSU's tailgating policy. Maybe there are some people new to the tailgating experience.

Albrecht will be closed. Line up in D for reserved.
GA on 17th Ave and wrap south on 18th St.
Go Bison!

Re: Football Tailgating Policy
Will parking along the south side of 17th Ave. still be there and/or accessible? I prefer to park away from the tailgating area and walk in, to leave more space for everyone's rigs. Last year worked but it started to be more difficult with the lineup and police blocking roads. R-lot is more crowded due to the new track and field building.

Re: Football Tailgating Policy
Can someone edit the original post or start a new one
The link is dead

Re: Football Tailgating Policy
Got a copy of the policy and had to sign on the dotted line before they will send me the tailgate passes. Looks like no changes of consequence but I didn't read it that close.
Sent from somewhere using my Windows Phone.

I heard they banned fuzzy hats and coats. Didn't say anything about sausage.

I understand that, but do they want you to enter from 19th, University, or 17th? Or doesn't it matter?

That's a good question with the 19th Ave construction. I know there will be access from 19th but with limited access due to detours it will
be interesting. I guess I would risk 17th on the south side of the dome, and hope they are giving direction there.
anyone with a better idea speak up.

Re: Football Tailgating Policy
Slight thread drift, I admit, but:
In Aimes Iowa, that had 5X the number of folks tailgating than we do in Fargo. They opened lots 6 hours before the game and I never once saw security personnel. I guess I just don't get it sometimes; namely why the Fargo nazi's are so scared of tailgating.

Something about someone trying to light a rainforest on fire or something. :)

19th Ave Status
I-29 to 18th St = Fully open
18th St to Albrecht = one lane in each direction
Albrecht to University = Totally closed, detour on 21st Ave
University to 10th St = one lane only for westbound, closed eastbound

That's been my conclusion every time we've tailgated somewhere. I'd like to ask whoever is in charge of Fargodome tailgating what problem they are trying to solve?

True. I've seen cops near the stadium before/after games in Ames, but can't recall ever seeing a cop in the tailgate lots . . . and we are usually near the road that goes between the lots where it would be easy to patrol. It was much worse in Iowa City two years ago . . . cops giving out lots of open container citations.

Re: Football Tailgating Policy
This just sent out. Hmmm...
Just a few reminders for all of our Tailgater’s as we come up to our Homecoming event.
• All tailgate setups must remain in the confines of your purchased spaces, designated by the painted parking spots.
• Blocking walkways and driveways is not acceptable and will not be tolerated. All equipment must fit in your space.
• Lot G south is a 1st come 1st serve lot. All portable equipment and pedestrians will be removed from lot G south until all vehicles have entered. Saving spots will not be allowed. Security will patrol Lot G until all vehicles have entered.
Security will be available to assist anyone who needs help with these guidelines.
We appreciated your cooperation.

Looks like all is as it was, they must have got a complaint about someone.
And does this mean that NDSU is not adopting the Ole Miss policy to be able to pay students
to come in and reserve that spots for them :)
:0)

WTF does that mean? Removed???? That is a poorly worded sentence.

I will be taking a pause while setting up in our reserved lot at 8:00 am to watch this Indy 500 action happen in the 1st come-1st serve lot. Poor SOB's, literally, figuratively, & metaphorically.

Re: Football Tailgating Policy
So you can't do a bean bag toss unless it'd in between the spaces? I guarantee some douche bag security guard will interpret it that way even the the intent is to keep vehicles and tents within the lines

I'm bringing chalk to make our lines bigger. They won't know. :biggrin:
Apparently someone couldn't drive up and down the aisles 45 minutes before clean up??

Re: Football Tailgating Policy
Insane amounts of people saving spots at the last game. Absolutely embarrassing to those of us that follow the rules and are up there the night before. They are getting this right.
-
Re: Football Tailgating Policy
If you read the actually email that was sent this makes a lot more sense.
It applied to the South G Lot which is not reservation. That is why nothing can be used to save spots.
And like an unattended bag at the airport it gets removed....
Obviously you cannot block the driveways and sidewalks anywhere.

This is the main issue they are correcting. Feedback was heard, considered, and acted upon appropriately. Not a conspiracy, nor anything to get bent about.

Of course, it is awkward when you "beat" someone to a spot they thought they had saved for someone else. Nothing like tailgating next to people who hate you for taking their spot. We have an ongoing battle with a guy for spots (first come, first served in the public lots) in Ames. So far, we are winning, but you could tell last week that his wife was really ticked that we beat him to the spots. I try to be nice, but getting our spots is my first priority on Saturdays.

I think this rule is sort of loosly applied in certain situations. On the closest row to the dome, there are many people that extend their tailgate into the grass boulevard next to the spots. I know our group does.:)
-
Re: Football Tailgating Policy
So, how did it work out last week? Were there spot savers?
We were setting up our tent out in the aisle and were going to move it in, when a dome guy told us we couldn't put our tent in the aisle. Really?
