Tailgating this Saturday

[Mountain Panther]

Sorry if there is an obvious answer to this question....I've been forced to admire the Panthers from afar this year and haven't tailgated at UNI since the 2005 SIU game (before I was a member of PN).

Do a lot of you generally gather in one place or are you pretty well spread out? Would like to meet as many new people as possible. I won't be there until mid morning so I suppose I've have to accelerate my alcohol consumption upon arrival.

Go Panthers!

Go Panthers!

For the accelerated intake, you might try the student lot (North of WRC) and look for the group with the famed blue 'Beer Bat'. But if it's cold and windy, I wouldn't expect the student tailgate to rock anyone's socks off... I hope I'm wrong.

I've been to the North Lot.....may not be venturing over there this time now that I'm 30.

Too cool? Absolutely not. Too old? Maybe.

I see there will be a high of 27 on Saturday. Are the bars open in the morning?

Re: Tailgating this Saturday

Does anyone know when the lots are set to open?

Generally 4 hours before kickoff, but I haven't heard of anyone being scolded this year for starting early. Sounds like Hartzell has passed the word to Public Safety to allow a little latitude in the fun department.

Would public safety allow a wood fire if it was in one of those metal fire pits that are allowed in the city (i believe)

Re: Tailgating this Saturday

i remember having a fire before the E. Washington playoff game in '05 with no hassle from public safety. There were also only about 50 people tailgating so public safety wasn't too concerned about anything.

Re: Tailgating this Saturday

Some people had fires going last weekend and UNI Police just drove past with no issues. I would say as long as it is not a ground fire you are good to go....

That's a good point. It's really not any different than a grill, and they don't care about those.

I plan on being in B/C lot around 8 or 9 AM. My little camp usually has a beer pong/ball table by a black f150 and a red grand prix

Not so fast my friend...

We had a cop come up and ask us to dump beers before the Youngstown Game. We were in the PSC lot, he didn't say a word to the people that had already started in the General Public lot... Nice!!

I take back every nice thing I've almost thought about Public Safety... What kind of human being makes another dump out cold beer?
