  • How early do you start tailgating?

    I'm new to UNI. How early do you start tailgating for football games? Can you come out during halftime? Do you tailgate after the games or just leave? What else do I need to do know to get prepared?

    The "official" rules are that tailgating starts 3 or 4 hrs before kick. However, I've never seen any be asked to leave. Heck, if you come to a few games 3 or 4 hours early, you will have limited options.

    Very few stick around afterward. Traffic flows very well so there isn't much of a need to wait it out. Depending on the week we will hang for an hour or so. It's just that not many do. I'm sure there is some rule, but I've never seen it enforced.

      ive never had an issue with starting as early as I want. just use common sense and dont draw negative attention to yourself.

        When I was in college I'd start at 2p Friday.

            All this talk about tailgating is getting me ready for football season!!! I have a big question, what should I make for the first tailgate ribs, brisket, or pulled pork? I'll let you decide panther nation!

              We usually start around 11:00...especially on good weather days. And we always tailgate afterwards. No sense in fighting the traffic. I love the hour or so afterwards just hanging out with some music and discussing the game. Then tear down the tent and tables and head home satisfied. We usually leave at halftime for a cold barley pop or two, also.

                  Good Lord, I hope you mean just listening to Rima. Well, Rima is a good looking guy. You could do worse. I'm just thinking the parking lot may not be the ideal location, if you were talking about something else.

                        Back in college I was out by 8 with friends. Now it depends on work if I get to tailgate at all

                            Pardon my ignorance, but what is Rima? Maybe I shouldn't ask.

                              Is it safe? I've seen a few of your posts and read some things about you that concern me.
