Good Tailgating Spot...

[Croyle4Heisman]

Hey,

I'm looking for a good place to tailgate...Hopefully somewhere that has outlets close by and is fairly close to the stadium.

I'm looking to do a lot of tailgating this season, so I wanted to get some good ideas from some of you tailgating veterans on where to go...Thanks in advance!

I could tell you my spot...

But then I'd have to kill you

Try this

Anywhere on University Blvd. would be a nice place. they actually started let people set up on the Quad. The main thing is get there before the sun rises. We get down there Fri. night.

good luck with finding an outlet...

i like the field behind Arby's .... it's kind of inbetween Arby's and the baseball field. i think it's the band's practice field or something.

I'll second the notion of good luck finding an outlet

that said, my favorite place is under the 100+ year oaks in front of Gorgas House. And has been said, get there EARLY! (like 7 am or earlier)

An outlet huh? You're asking a lot there.
I'd say your best shot for that would be setting up within the Woods/Garland/Clark/Manly Hall complex (behind the Arts & Sciences Dept). You might also want to set up near the A & S Programs Building. We like that corner because only about 4 or 5 tents can set up there, the Army ROTC folks like setting up there (and they always have TONS of food!), and it's a quick dart between the buildings to the nearest inside, clean bathroom (always open on gamedays).

Either of those locations might work for you, but you have to arrive EARLY. Between 6-7 AM is what I'd recommend...even for a night game.

There are lots of places near the Ferguson Student Center to park and set up shop. The center is open, so you can go there for the restroom. They also have a huge room with a big screen (movie size) showing games.

Also, between the Ferg Ctr and University blvd there is a quad where there is an art building. Lots of people, including me, hanging out around that area. And that art building is usually open, so you can do your bizniss in their facilities as well. Not too bad of a hike to the stadium from these areas, and all parking around there is free. Get there early to find one of these prime free spots.
