Football Tailgating Policy

[56BISON73]

Totally get your points. But I do have sympathy for all those that have to deal with the GA situation. I'd hate to have to get in line at whatever time the previous day to ensure a spot. That would especially suck for those travelling from out of town. Combine that with the policing policy that is enforced in a different way at random...this would make it frustrating for those individuals. I get it isn't NDSU's biggest fish to fry...but I also get the importance to those affected.

Im sure during tailgate you take a few moments to reflect on the plight of those in GA and those that didnt make the cut. Sniff

Almost every tailgate I crack a beer and watch the running of the herd to race for spots. It's a good time.

Brings back memories no doubt.

Damn Research and Technology Park. Had NDSU been looking toward the future we wouldn't be having this argument!
And finding space for the new football stadium wouldn't be an issue either.

my point was people realize the demand, they cannot just open things up it will get handled. but there is a lynch mob that thinks if they don't see or hear something instantly then "nobody care" that simply isn't true. that is all I was pointing out

LOL....... I mean LOL. They have known about this problem for several years. Molasses runs quicker up hill in the middle of a ND winter. All we hear is it's soooooo difficult to do.......blah , blah, blah. Seems a bunch of folks at NDSU, the Fargodome and other inept parties are paid too much to do nothing. Get something done! No more lame excuses. This isn't rocket science.

They dont have to know anyone. You see thousands of people walking around the lots with drinks in hand and some pulling coolers.

Weve had many people stop in our tailgate and tell us they dont know anyone but are having a blast. But for some there just has to be drama.

and who doesn't know someone in the west lot? As unlikable as I have been known to be, I have had plenty of places to stop and chat with people.

Are their not some empty buildings out there now........use their parking lots!

30 years ago (But Loaf, you look so damn young and are so unbelievably virile!), when I and a "handful" of others were out tailgaiting in the raging blizzards, and on the grass parking lots - can you believe it, a grass parking lot (!) - with no tents, no heaters, and just a little portable grill north of Dakota Field, (I also seem to recall walking to school UPHILL both ways in those days, but I digress)........................NDSU and Team Makers were screwing me because I had no designated spot to LEGALLY enjoy an adult beverage with my tailgate.

Well, you can just imagine my anger and disgust when someone illegally cracked open an illicit beverage, POURED IT IN A CUP, drank it discreetly without calling any attention to themselves, and then I had to decline because of the sheer illegality of it all. Oh the horror stories I could tell.


Well, after years of private counseling over the matter, I'm here to say that I have made a full recovery, and can now ....... thanks to my palatial tailgating estate located in the nicely concrete-covered FargoDome West Lot ....... finally crack open a licit beverage (and I still pour it in a cup - because that is the "legal" way of doing so ), and enjoy it! (Although I still drink it without calling ANY attention to myself what-so-ever.)


That doesn't mean that I am without sympathy for those that continue to search for a legally designated spot on the grass to have an adult beverage with your tailgate. I hope you SOMEHOW figure out how to enjoy yourselves like we all managed to......... back in the day!

You know me and are always welcomed.

That's kind of what I mean. I think we here are all a community. If you want to walk around, you can. If you want to plant, you can.

I often cannot get around to see all the people I want to.
