PLEASE HELP!! Tailgate lots open in Chattanooga when?

[UNI MadCat]

(I posted this on AGS)

Please, someone give me an answer or something close to an educated guess.

I've talked to three different people at three different Finley-stadium related phone numbers in Chattanooga and received THREE different answers.

I've been told the big lot will open at 3 p.m., 4 p.m. and 5 p.m.

All seem rather late to me, but maybe I'm just an alcoholic.

But really, we're trying to organize a bunch of Panthers and it would help to get the definitive from someone who has been there before.

And yes, we know about the pavillion and all that, but we're interested in a place to tailgate by our cars, at least prior to the pavillion opening.

PLEASE HELP!!

You can tailgate as early as you want according to my sources. You may have to pay to park but you would have to do that anyway. The Lot Attendants report to work around 10:00.

The is bar/restaurant called T-Bones on the corner near the parking lot that is great for gathering before or after the game.

Mr E, if your sources are correct then I love you and your sources!!!

I hope you all love me by the time we get the NC stuff done. We started today setting up the Media Room, as it gets used tomorrow for the first time. I have done this for eight years and the routine for doing that hasn't changed much.

It's going to be a great experience for all of you, trust me. I'm glad to provide the information that I can, hope you all have a safe trip down and back, but most of all I hope you have many lifetime memories of your visit to Chattanooga.

I just want to say "Thank you Mr. Events".!!! I really appreciate your tips and info regarding Chatty. It's pretty cool that you came on this board to help us out.

I know you posted the activities that are scheduled on Thursday and Friday. It sounds like a really good time. Can you post any more detailied information regarding the events around the Stadium/Pavillion area? Is there a website that would have this information??

There are 3 of us going to Chatty (none of us has ever been there before) and we are really looking forward to visiting your historic city.

Well I can tell you that both schools will have designated areas within the First Tennessee Pavilion with tables, chairs, etc. What else they do within those areas I am not privy to. One has a Stage and PA System for their activities while the other has a 9' x 12' Video Screen to show season highlights.

There will be BBQ & Brats, Burgers & Sausages, Pizza, Hot Drinks, Beer, Soda, and Water available.

There will be licensed merchandise on sale such as T-Shirts, etc.

Both bands, Cheerleaders, and Mascots will make appearances in the Pavilion and there will be tons of people walking around having a great time. This is the highlight of the Pavilion in my book. Other surprises are planned so you should be there for that.

Coca Cola will have interactive games set up in the street between the Stadium and the Pavilion.

The US Army Golden Knights will parachute the game ball into the stadium just prior to kickoff which I think is major cool!!

There's more but I ain't tellin' now. You'll just have to come on down to find out.

Hope we get the video screen!!! I could watch highlights and drink beer for hours before the game! And we have so many of them from the last few weeks...
