Tailgating 09/11/2010

[georgeW]

Wow, forecast indicates great weather for tailgating this Saturday.

PN, when do I need to show up to grap a prime spot (s) in SE corner of the intersection of 27th and Panther Parkway? Really need visable spot as I have many (~30-40) invited from out of town for brats, burgers, and beer.

Thanks for help.

Go Panthers!!!!

We're newcomers to the Panther games. Need some advice on where to tailgate... We're not looking to get too rowdy, nor hang with the college kids (remember the good ole days)...just looking to relax, have some fun, and meet some fellow Panther fans. Looking forward to celebrating a Panther victory on Sat!

I believe you'd want to be to the SW of the Dome... I can't remember the lot number... I am recently one of those college kids that had the luxury of just filling up C and R Lots.

The south and north dome parking lots are both active with tailgating. On the north side, you will find ample hard surface area to set up. On the south south, you will be on gravel or grass. From my experience, you will find both student and non-student groups on the north side along with the visitor team's fans. On the south side, you will have mostly non-student groups; some with family oriented groups.

Of course, the west parking lot is fun to tailgate in with the PSC crowd. Look into joining the PSC and determine what you need to contribute to get access to that lot.

Most importantly have fun and enjoy the experience.

Go Panthers!!!!

Agreed.

In my experience: The South lot is mostly families / older crowd (30s+), most of the students are in the North lot. In the bigger games, the North lot will be full by 4-5hrs before game time - not this weekend. The downfalls of the South lot is that it really lacks porty pottys. The johns tend to be more than ample up North. The surface does make a difference (we usually go with the grass, not quite so hard when/if you fall).

Oh, and when NDSU last visited, they gravitated to the South lot.... which provided entertainment (especially afterward).


I've been North and South, you couldn't go wrong with either option.

I agree, fun will be had wherever you end up. Get there early and drive around until you find a spot that looks inviting.
