joewilly12 Posted July 21, 2019 Share Posted July 21, 2019 Park in a regular spot and put the tent over the back portion of your car/truck or directly behind it and tailgate off the back is the best bet. It all depends where you tailgate as far as taking up an extra spot to tailgate and then there are the curb spots along the back edge of most of the lots. Enjoy.

Park a truck in a regular spot and the entire spot is taken up. A 8X8 tent will block the roadway and they can make you take it down. No one does that, they take up a second spot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jmat321 Posted July 22, 2019 Share Posted July 22, 2019 Just get there early, put the tent in an empty space right next to your vehicle. If someone wants to park in said spot, tell them you are holding it for your cousin. Thereafter, you can go back to launching K2s at BMWs. Been doing that for close to 30 years.

Popular Post The Crimson King Posted July 22, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted July 22, 2019 look, here's some truth you can try to get away with whatever you want but to take up any space someone else can park in is rude. It seem that there are whole generations that could care less about rude and more about what they can get away with. So be it, but there is a measure of civilization that is disappearing. This is when it all falls apart. If you do not understand this you are part of the problem. Time and time again, I see people taking up more than their space. The patrols are useless idiots and simply pass by all the violators. If you need to put up a large tent there are two places, Green parking at the walk in and yellow by the roadway curb. You get there EARLY or you do not put up these monstrosities. Sorry if any of you don't like it but watching folks drive around this awful ballpark looking for parking while others take up extra spaces with their tents and cornhole games is simply wrong. One of the many reasons that going to Jets games suck so much more than it used to 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of the many reasons that going to Jets games suck so much more than it used to Every week you drive looking for a space. You have to weave around Joe and his friends, trying to avoid the stupid tent dwellers while not hitting someone who is just trying to have fun and not get hit by cars avoiding Joe. Just as bad are those who think their parking fee allows them to take up two spots while you cant park close and had a life so didnt get to the stadium at dawn. Was easier at Shea when I would just park on the street and walk into the lot to tailgate with friends Me first mentality is wonderful. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry you dont want to hear that but your own picture proves it true. If im driving by i either go over the middle of the road or hit those tents.
