Re: 2017 Tailgating Changes
I welcome anyway for NDSU to make a little more money, especially at something with such high demand. However, you're pushing away people probably faster than you're bringing them in. They need to focus on the reserved tailgaters that rarely/never use their spaces. Hopefully the new per game passes help, but I don't see it happening. Expansion needs to be done and done quickly. Even if it's for the first 3 or so games that are high demand.
Re: 2017 Tailgating Changes
I'm sick of it. "Behind the scenes, behind the scenes!" is such a bullshit excuse. You don't know what that would look like? Are we looking to the past or are we trying to ACTUALLY look forward. You are going to dump half of the GA spots for reserved spots...but yet there are a LOT of new season ticket holders in the tailgate lots.
Seriously, figure it the hell out. Why even say anything if the only response is "I don't know what that would look like". Christ. How about the rest of the damn dome lots? Hell, I'd GLADLY tailgate in the grass lot where we line up - that would be absolutely perfect and I would have ZERO problem walking.

Such crap.

What that's really saying is "we're going to remove half of the GA spots and sell them to the highest bidder as reserved without adding anything new for GA and then when the line for GA gets longer rather then shorter we'll act surprised and point to is as us doing something because screw the little guys".

Re: 2017 Tailgating Changes
Hopefully 90% of the people who get the spots are also the people waiting in line
Re: 2017 Tailgating Changes
"But we get more requests about reserved than we do about general admission."
Uh no shit pat. lol. Who the hell inquires about anything general admission? whether its a concert, bison football game or ndsu tailgating, its pretty standard of what it is.
This might be the death of the GA lot now that theyre cutting it in half. itll look like the North half of the new reserved lot for playoff games in November for games vs shitty opponents. It really fizzled when it got colder and colder, and once September was done, the line in the rugby field was short. But when those new reserved tailgaters dont want to bare the elements but still take up x amount of spots, itll look bad.
Again, $5 bucks a spot is robbery and cheaper to park there than the other side of the fargodome. triple it to 15 and youll cut that line in half real quick once the free loaders go park for free/cheaper elsewhere.
Re: 2017 Tailgating Changes
My group was pushed out of tailgating a few years ago already with the majority elimination of the GA....now it is just laughable. #bringbackthegrass :rofl:

Re: 2017 Tailgating Changes
I will say that I am very happy having reserved tailgating spots. Glad this doesn't concern me

If your neighbors suck, I wouldn't be very happy with having reserved tailgating spots. but if theyre good...then yea, nothing better.
