How many people already don't bother trying to buy a rig or come with their vehicle to tailgating because they don't have freedom at work to ditch on a Friday for the line? At some point, Pat needs to stop the rhetoric and actually be a leader. They are taking care of their blue-collar fans? How? By cutting their available spots in half...again. I'm not even mad about them wanting to increase revenue, we'd gladly be willing to pay our fair share for reserved spots...
I can tell you this much, it's getting to the point where my commitment to tailgating and games on Saturday mornings in the fall is feeling shaky. If that's what they want, more power to them. I hope the vision(or lack thereof) they have doesn't end up biting the hand that feeds them. I'm not a big donor, so I get it, my opinion doesn't mean shit, but I grew up going to games...I've spent a ton of my life at NDSU on Saturdays.
Stop defending these kind of moves unless they are going to address the ENTIRE issue.
First of all I dont have to address shit if I dont want to. Got it?
Youre yelling at the wrong guy. But what you and many are experiencing is the same that 100s of thousands experience every sat during the fall.
As far as people buying rigs and cant get off work do you think this is a Fargo only issue? If so you have blinders on.
It is nice to know that now that you are older that you would NOW pay for reserved spots. I guess your vision for the future wasnt near as keen back when you wanted to be party central and reserved spots were available.. Of course you had great fun making fun of those who had reserved spots. Remember those days?
Fact is many here at BV who were in GA wanted reserved spots. Others wanted them also. So TM has now made them available. So why not wait and see how it works out before going nuclear?
FYI TM doesnt and cant make unilateral decisions when it comes to approving ETOH consumption with the expansion of tailgate parking.
Also you still can go to a FB game without tailgating. Thousands do so. If ETOH is a requirement there are bars right across the street.

When you play football, you gotta like the taste of blood, And 50 percent of the time, it's your blood.
It is characteristic of the unlearned that they are forever proposing something which is old, and because it has recently come to their own attention, supposing it to be new.
