UNI/ISU Tailgating

[ianuni57]

This thread may have already started or been talked about already, but where will the UNI tailgating take place? We just got our tickets for the game, from an ISU season ticket holder and sitting in the ISU section may be rough, so we thought it would be good to get some beverages in our system before the game.

i agree...i have a group of 15 of us coming down...and would love to know where to tailgate...the only other times i have tailgated at ISU was when i was an ISU fan when my sister attended there. I know i know...the dark side...get over it

[Matt Trump]

Go anywhere where general tailgaiting is allowed. ISU fans are usually pretty civil. Just don't go where the students are and you'll be fine. The students are usually in the very first area (the esternmost) of the lots south of Ellwood.

[Matt Trump]

We'll be along Ellwood in that south look. Look for all the fat boys with their shirts off.

hopefully people have flags out so i can find people!!! what time are people getting there?

When I drove by last Thursday morning at ten, people were already lined up for tailgating spots, and the lot didn't open until one. To be honest, I'm wondering if I might not need to be out at around 8-8:30 in order to get a good spot.

[Matt Trump]

Those people who line up are only a small fraction of tailgaters who want their specific place they go everyweek. You don't need to go that early.

I am driving in from about 3 hours out (according to mapquest) so what time should I plan to arrive if I'm wanting to tailgate but not be there too early?

I have some friends from Ames who will be tailgating and I am supposed to meet them there. I guess I'll have to talk to them and coordinate a time to meet them.

[BCPanther]

We are planning on pulling in around 12:30 and getting the brats and beer going from there.

Praying the rain stays away...

[AmesPanther]

Tailgating should open up at 7AM. Accuweather say no rain, hopefully it's right...

[BCPanther]

Ames,
Do the public lots open at 7, or is it just the NCC lots??

[AmesPanther]

Officially public parking opens at noon, but they aren't very consistant. I hope those that get donor tickets get donor parking passes; those open at 7.

[Matt Trump]

I forgot how inconsistent they can be. We've pulled up there for this game right when they are supposed to open and they were open 2 hours before we got there. Thats probably why some people go early there. Just in case.

[JCPanthers]

We'll probably be in the G4/G5 lots along South 16th St. We should be there around 12:30 - 1:00 PM.

[DomeRanger Posse]

I'm planning on being in the S. 16th lots as well with a couple of Cyclone friends. The flag'll be on my truck though. They're at my mercy since I'm driving.
