The Book 2008 Football

anyone know where the tailgating area for visitors? or is there even a certain place for visitors?

I have a email into the UL Athletic Office......as well as the Troy Athletic Office



.........waiting on answers....

I attached a map that i found on Troy's website.....thought it might be handy for everyone

Agree 100%

I am also trying to go to the Troy game, fortunatly for me it is only a 3-4 hour drive, just a little bit more than going to Lafayette. Hoefully there will be tons of Cajun fans there for tailgating and festivities. Any info for hotels and tailgating would be appreciated.

In reaction to all this some students are trying to "black out" the Red Zone. How do yall feel about that?

Urge them not to do that.

Suggest they get together with the UPC, maybe the SGA, and approach the new Prez.

Ask him to set aside a special tailgating area just for students next year, put down turf, and fix it up in other ways.

He'll do it. T-Joe comes out of the best UL traditions, where students have unmatched access to the administration, and the administration listens to students and works with them.

I know. I changed things when I was at UL.

And my Tulane Med School classmates from all the 'Big' schools couldn't believe how much influence students have at UL.

Its only a 2 1/2 to 3 hour drive for me from Pensacola so I will drive up & back same day. I drove in for HC this weekend in about 4 1/2 hours. That's cruising 75-80 on the hi-speed parts of I-10 & one 7 min pit stop. Took 5h 20 to get back because of more stops. You should figure on 7 hrs minimum for the trip.

Not sure about accommodations in Troy, but there are quite a few reasonable places either along I-10 or in Dothan.

Aren't there free spots? Just not reserved?

I was under the impression that the spots along the fence on west congress are still first come first serve. I may be wrong

Thanks

And no freaking free parking and tailgating right next to the stadium?

Those Trojans should protest and wear black.:)
