I wonder if Zach Smith and Urban Meyer will be tailgating there this season?
Urban is having chest pains can't make it to the gameQuote:

Considering the difference in the programs, and historical success level, I'd say we are grossly over paying now. Get us in a P5 confrence and playing in the final 4 I would gladly pay Ohio state type prices.
$3750 for 8 game home slate...for 10 people...I’d say the price gap is fair considering the difference in on-field success as you pointed out...again...we get to half of their on field success our prices reflect that half success...$1800 per season for a 10x10 spot and heads will roll here..Quote:

My bad I thought that was prices for the season. Didn't notice the one game.Quote:

These are simply options for people with money looking to show up and have the tents, tables, chairs, ice chests, etc. provided for them. These are packages which will most likely be purchased by businesses to entertain clients/employees.
If you want to know how Ohio State fans feel about these overpriced options, just read the comments posted on the page. Here are a couple:
"I will be coming from out of town, and I would not touch this with a 10 foot pole. Even if I HAD the spare cash laying around, TOTAL rip off."
"More elitist _____. Awesome."
Actually the fairest comparison would be to any school in the sunbelt. That is the company we keep and the conference we are in.Quote:

Ole Miss: Free, all tailgating spots at Ole Miss are first come

Auburn: Free, first-come, first-served.

LSU: Free, first come, first-served.

Texas: $300 per season or $55 per game
(SOURCE: https://parking.utexas.edu/sites/par...gate_rules.pdf)
Those are the only ones I looked up. If anyone else can find a university who charges as much or more than we charge for basic tailgating, please post it.
In the past they catered the student tailgating lol.Quote:

I’m fairly certain you can tailgate for free at Giraurd Park if you wanna walk 5 miles like in BR and the likes...Quote:

Went to the Arkansas State game last year. There is nothing but free areas all around to tailgate till your heart's content. In fact, I've never been to a college stadium anywhere else that charges you a "tailgating spot". It should always be first come, first serve other than RV spots. Now, charge me $20 to pull my vehicle through the gates, and I'm perfectly fine with that.Quote:

Florida, you might be able to tailgate, but here is what it takes to park at the stadium.
Do season tickets come with a parking pass?
Season ticket packages do not automatically come with a parking pass. You can receive football parking starting at the Scholarship Partner level ($3,500 contribution per year starting in 2018). Parking pass location is determined based on your Gator Booster Club Level and Loyalty Points. Opportunities to improve your parking in future seasons are available as you earn more Gator Booster Loyalty Points.
Well, when we starting playing in the SEC I will be fired up! LOL!!!!Quote:

At the end of the day, I think OUR definition of tailgating is much different than others around the country. I think what is 'normally' done at Cajun Field is VIP at other places.
My son just graduated from Texas and the friend's tailgate I went to cost their group $7,500 per season for 20x10 AND it was 5 blocks from the stadium. The lot was full and they had a waiting list of over 50 names. This was no RVs, just a 4x4 truck with the grill/smoker attached to it and personal tents.
Yep. Heck even McNeese has charged for tailgating spots for many years.Quote:
