2017 Tailgating Changes

[Bison 4 Life]

I almost always used a koozie and never got hassled.

They're obviously trying to avoid the whole fiasco where a guy in his 3 ton truck and ice fishing home drives right down the middle of the tailgate 30 min after it's opened and people have set up.

I mean would opening GA the same time they open reserve be that much of a burden? At least if you open at the same time you're a half hour into the sorting process rather than 8 guys in yellow vests or coats bullshitting by the barriers until 9:00.

But that idea is immediately flushed when some Johnny come lately shows up at 11:30 and needs to park in new reserved to head to his actual tailgate in old reserved


The half hour ahead of time rule makes no sense at all to this day. What's the point of it

Just don't be a moron about your drink and you can probably get away with not using a cup/mug. Can koozies go a long way in covering up what you are drinking. Glass is a no brainer on the concrete, but just do what you do and keep a low profile and it'll be fine.



In the reserved lots? I guess I haven't seen much of this anymore. We had it happen a few times and we'd just pull right into where they were standing regardless. People would look at us like we just murdered their first born. We'd flat out tell them no saving spots, if you have a problem, I'll gladly go find security to sort it all out. We got here the day before, the hell if you are going to show up 15 mins before and steal where we are parking.

no they would walk thru the reserved and stand in the GA, beings we are in 1/2 hour early it was easy to see

TAB, I don't think that is nuts. The only possible logic I've seen in this is NDSU wants to make it such a cluster folks unload on the City or illegally tailgate in such numbers, the city balks at doing anything to them helping force the issue.

You're missing the entire point. Why does it need to be covered up? That doesn't magically get you around the open container law. West Fargo suspends their open container law for a certain part of town for certain hours during cruise nights. Fargo could do the exact same thing for tailgating. It's not about "what you can get away with". I have seen it enforced with people using a can koozie (just another rule that doesn't seem to be enforced consistently). I'm sick of the extra trash it creates for ZERO benefit or reason.

As far as the keg/party ball rule I don't see the point, if it's about volume then it makes no sense because I could regulate the distribution out of a keg(s) more than I can 10-15 cases of beer.

Trust me, I get it. It's ridiculous. Part of the reason they do it is so they can have that control. You broke the rules, get out! kind of a thing. See, we were enforcing them!

They don't make party balls anymore. It's ridiculous, I know. Call around to the liquor stores and ask for one and they will act like you're speaking gibberish.

Question. The updated policies (http://gobison.com/documents/2013/7/...tingPolicy.pdf) now appear to say that you can't tailgate, without alcohol even, in the east lots. Anyone know if this is now policy? Or just an oversight while attempting to be clear about the alcohol?

B) will the old people who claim that "just tailgate in the east lots" shut up now?

man those were awesome.....

They certainly had their place
