    Tailgating at USD

    Found this on their website. Looks like you have to have a spot in the "tailgate lot" to tailgate. I called the ticket office and apparently, Lot F is the lot we will want to end up in. Opens at 12 and is a first come/first served situation. Entrance will cost you $10 per spot. If you want to buy two spots to set your grill and chairs in, you can do so. Sounds like another beautiful day. See you all there....and GO PANTHERS!!!

    Re: Tailgating at USD

    Anyone going have room for two more? After traveling to SIU this weekend we can't fork over the money to go it alone. Shoot me a PM if you have room or want to make some travel plans.

      Funny that even a rinky dink operation like the USD Coyotes have figured this out and we can't. Those spots across from the dome should be the exact same way. Give the PSC members that normally park there the first right of refusal. If there is any drop off in PSC membership because of this (I seriously doubt there would be), it would more than be made up for in parking revenue. What a waste, kudos to USD for figuring this out.

        All the tailgate spots south of Lot F are sold out. Single space lots are still available first come/first served in Lot F.

        Should be a good time, hope to see some Panthers there.

          Rink dink, Wow that is a real lack of respect considering there really isn't that much difference between the UNI dome (other then a second grandstand) and the Dakota Dome. It wasn't that terrible long ago that these teams were in the same conference.

            It was pretty long ago, and having one set of stands seems rink dink.

                The dual fans are laughing at you right now. For all the whining on this board about lack of respect from the 'Big boys' why do you feel the need to insult USD. They won their BCS game UNI got shut out in theirs.

                About the game, I think we just might find a way to keep this game close. I hope I am wrong, we should win, but USD might watch the tape of the SFA game and learn a thing or two.

                  Oklahoma State used to be in the Valley I think 70 years ago, that hasn't been that long ago. Maybe we could say we are in the same conference as them.

                    Jesus Christ, relax. I am making light at how poorly we handle our game day operations. I said their operations are dinky dink, they play in an 8,000 seat stadium, with stands on one side, in the middle of now where. That makes them rinky dink to us. We are rinky dink to Iowa, are we not? Do our game day operations not make us look rinky dink to the operations in Ames or Iowa City? Of course they do. Do Iowa's game day operations not make them look rinky dink to folks in Baton Rouge or Knoxville, sure. (we would never get them to admit it but it is).

                    To my point, good for them for making money where they can make it. Just like every other college that has more than 3,000 people show up on game day. I paid to park at Drake when we played there. For some reason we can't get this figured out?

                      Completely agree with the pay to park thing Jeg. However, I don't agree that the PSC should be included in that. The PSC folks are already paying to park as part of the benefits and since those limits are increasing almost yearly now, I'm not on board with that.

                        Talked with USD ticket office this morning. Was told the official tailgate lot is full and there will be another assigned on a "first come first serve" basis. He said this is the third weekend for this set up and does not know how quickly ()or if) it will fill up. I have not been to Vermillion in some 30+ years, so, don't know what to expect.

                          Lot F is pretty good size. I wouldn't worry about getting shut out.

                            I agree that our "free" parking needs to get figured out.

                              Even here in Omaha, DII Nebraska-Omaha, they have started to charge for parking. Tailgating is regulated to one area, but they charge $5 per car. Now I could be wrong, but didnt UNI use charge for other events, trade shows, IHSAA Playoffs, etc? I remember working playoff games up there (2002-2004), but I do not recall if they charged.
