I’m out of the loop on this I guess. What news/post mentions Friday night setup?

Communication and advertising has never been NDSU athletics forte. I didn't know about it either until nowQuote:

If I had a big bus I might park it ahead of time.

News to me as well - the email from Team Makers announcing this was in my spam folder.
Confirmed today that they're cabling the lot off right at 7, which is a bummer for the out of town crowd. I was excited to be able to pull the rig into town and leave it in the lot vs having to drag it to a hotel, all while not having to leave work early. Guess I can't have it all.
Friday night will be so fun, you are going to miss out. Unlimited 3-hours of tailgate set-up with no actual tailgating or drinking allowed! Good job Team Makers, NDSU Athletics, FargoDome and Fargo PD -- this is exactly what many have been asking to have for the last couple 13-14 years.Quote:

Why not just open the place up from Friday night until Saturday morning to park reserved space vehicles and to setup tents with no tailgating allowed. Just require people to leave when done parking and setting up. I think that would work just fine, but the a-holes who run the place just assume the worst.Quote:

We didn't setup Friday night, simply parked our trailer/pickups. Glorious to just walk in at 8:50 and start setting up. Not having to deal with the lineup south of the dome was 10/10. They also have overnight security setup, which I didn't realize prior. They need to work on the timing though and adjust accordingly for out-of-towners.
We did the same with one vehicle and our trailer but then sat line with another vehicle Saturday morning since we had all the food and such in that. I thought there was fewer people parked early than I expected but the line seemed to move quicker than normal which was hopefully a good sign that getting some of the bigger rigs in early speeds things up. Hopefully more people park early as the season progresses.Quote:

This is so funny. You park your stuff on friday but you still have to wait in line Sat to get to your parked stuff? :rofl: Makes no sense to me. Oh well.
Because it's a pain in the butt to maneuver the trailer into our spot when everyone around us is trying to do the same thing. We also have a bunch of vendor vehicles that are parked close to our spot that are always there before the lots open on Saturday and in the way so it was nice to get the trailer into it's spot on Friday when they weren't there.Quote:

Hopefully they just get rid of the security component next year and let you park it early whenever as long as you don't break out the beers and meth.
It's unfortunate they don't provide any security during the game out there since that's when everything gets stolen or your vehicle gets backed into.
Surprised you are so confused for someone who always seem to side with the anal retentive rule makers at NDSU and the Fargodome. I sense you were giggling to yourself about how worthless the so called benefit of only being able to park on Friday night.Quote:

He seems to think everyone is a lush and would not be able to follow the no drinking condition in order to allow more lenient rules on parking (refer to post #12 above).Quote:
