    Default Tailgating question.

    Thinking of putting together a tailgating reunion of sorts with some friends for the Delaware game... so here's my question. What time to do need to be in line to expect to get a spot for the general admission tailgating spots? I'd be looking for two spots. Anybody have any experience?

    That's homecoming so the correct answer is probably about 6-8PM the night before.


    And no, I'm not kidding.


    Another option is to see if anyone is selling their reserved passes since they did start giving passes for each game for all the reserved spots allowing you to sell the ones you won't need on a per game basis. Again, since it's homecoming those will be tough to come by and they'll be sold at a premium I'm sure. It's just a matter of how much your time waiting in line is worth to you.

    Is that the situation for every game? Do you pretty much need to be there the night before to get a spot?

    Every game to be guaranteed a spot

    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.

    Early in the season yes. This year might be a little unique in that the 2nd game against UNA might be a little lighter on demand than the season opener, homecoming, or the SDSU game will be since all 3 of those high tailgating demand days will be in September as well. By the time you get into mid-October and November the lines get lighter to the point where you can show up and hour or two before the GA lot opens, get in line, and be fine. Usually by the playoffs you can show up as the lots open or even shortly after and still get a spot (but you can also get reserved spots for the playoffs fairly easily if you want them as well).

    So, does anybody have any information on how this tailgating exchange deal works? Is there a link?

    Same as tickets. Check Craigslist, StubHub, Bisonville ticket exchange, alumni ticket exchange, etc.
