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. Its rude as can be. Come on man......... its a tailgating you need to drive carefully in those lots regardless. There is always room for a car to get by when I set my tent up.

I am respectful and courteous and I don't play Molly Hatchet full throttle if you see me when im there stop by I buy you a beer. Although I am not a fan of Molly Hatchet, that wouldn't be so bad, it's the idiots blasting gangsta rap so loud that we can't have a conversation. That bothers me and my sensitive, tasteful ears To be fair though, although we rarely play any music, once we did and some guy came over and said, "just wanted to tell you that your music sucks" (see other threads on this forum for examples). Never played anything ever again but I just bought a Bluetooth speaker and loaded my phone with backing tracks. Next tailgate I'm bringing that a D and an A harp and annoying all you folks with some live blues 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Used to be a back of the truck type of tailgater but want to step up my game. That said where’s suggestions on best places to pitch tents without getting yelled at once lot starts to fill up. Any help from some of you pros be helpful. Thanks and stay cool. Go to a pre-season game and scout out the lots . Look for any grassy area (very few available ) . There are some spots where you won't take up an extra parking spot but they are few and far between . Lot 26 had plenty of them until the morons building Zanadu filled the lot with building equipment . Good luck . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Warmbrother Posted July 22, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted July 22, 2019 I have to agree with the anti rude crowd. Its the same thing at major music camping festivals. People roping off real estate like they are special. If youre vehicle is in a spot and youre taking a second spot for tailgating, youre a rude, selfish pos. Sorry but civility is being lost. We used to park and set up a small bbq and 2 or 3 chairs right by the trunk. Bothered Noone 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 There are seriously like a million 8 x 8 tents that are up each week. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
