Well this makes entirely too much sense.The rules about alcohol at tailgating aren't the problem, the problem is the limited amount of space available. When over 2/3 of the places where you can tailgate are reserved there and there is still demand for spots to the point that there are cars lined up for blocks hours beforehand it's time to find more room. Now, that being said, I know just as well as everyone else here that after homecoming anyone will be able to show up at noon and find a space to park in the ga lot, but I don't think allowing tailgating in any dome lot counts as building your church for Easter Sunday when Easter Sunday becomes half of your Sunday's. Maybe move the student line so that it heads east instead of towards the west lot, move the reserved teammaker parking into the east lot, and add more tailgating in the south lot?
Something, anything, needs to be done not to change the rules or policies per se, but to allow for enough room for all of those who want to participate in the current system.
People will still flock to the west lot, but they won't need to camp overnight and everyone can find a home when the west lot does fill up.
