Tailgates

Post by CPACAT » Sat Oct 05, 2024 8:38 am

Parking services is going to kill the tailgate atmosphere. They are so disconnected from the game day experience. Collect your money and lock you out of your spots until 4 hours before. It takes us almost an hour to set up and then you have to head in about an hour before to make sure you get in. So I drive 3 hours to have 2 hours to enjoy my tailgate friends for 2 hours.

4 hrs is BS.

I am one to agree. They also quit putting out ash barrels anywhere north of Kagy.
They quit putting out the smaller garbage cans along that sidewalk as well which as a result of it in more passersby randomly throwing garbage into our tailgate area. Are you still cleaning up but it’s a pain

When I went to the Texas A&M game we were tailgating at 7am with kickoff being at 6pm. People pay for the spots, let us in!

Yes, they definitely should consider extending tailgating time, no good reason to lock people out before hand =;

Parking Services is miss named. Parking Douchers is more fitting. Hate those A-holes.

So, is this real? The tailgate lots are inaccessible until four hours before kickoff? I know that’s always been a rule. But never enforced. I have been considering getting on the waitlist for a spot. But I won’t waste my time if this is being enforced.

I agree with the porta potty comment. And I will still
complain about the lack of garbage and recycling bins. The rest of the comments are just interesting I guess 🙄

New rules I guess. We used to set up my friend’s tailgate at 5am for Cat-Griz, go back to sleep for a few hours, and be back by 8 ready to roll with a noon kickoff when I’d come from Portland for the weekend.

A question about Idaho weekend

Do we have to move for an hour after Volleyball just to have to come back for football?

Or will they just let us tailgate?

Parking services since they took over the tailgate is bush league. They don’t honor any agreements implied or otherwise from Montana State University. Lock us out of the Tailgate RV spots that we’ve paid for for over a decade. Guess I’m just old and not changing with the times and don’t like taking it in the shorts.
My rant for the day. Go Cats!

Has anyone tested the the parking Nazi’s and tried setting up 5-6 hrs before? Rules are no better than they are enforced! Give em hell Cat fans. Maybe we should all ban together pick a game and show up 6 hrs early. Get their attention!


With success comes attention, with attention comes cockiness, with cockiness comes arrogance, with arrogance comes rudeness...and they wonder why I hate the Griz ! FTG
