Tail Gate Spot Parking Policy (merged)

[CrazyCajun]

I think pregame celebration is a better term.

And you don't have to worry about carrying anything, smart.

So, What is being said is that when you get a tailgating spot, you get 2 tailgating parking passes. Those passes are to let the cars in to unload gear and then the cars must go park behind the hilton gardens until deemed safe to reenter to get your stuff, unless you donate atleast $250 to RCAF and then you can park in the gravel lots right next to the tailgating areas? Correct? I know all my crew donate to RCAF. All have season tickets, so all park near our tailgating area. Im not seeing the big deal here. I honestly thought you already had to donate to RCAF before you could get a tailgating area? I pay my 250 for my parking spot, and I put in for my tailgating crew for the tailgating spot we have. Is that not what they are asking everyone else to do?

I think some of you are overthinking this thing. If you just stay in your seat for the entire game, usually about 1/2 the crowd inside the stadium starts leaving during the 4th quarter! This will make the traffic situation much better by the time you leave. This leaving the game early is another ridiculous habit that some fans need to change! STAY INSIDE THE STADIUM UNTIL THE CLOCK READS 0:00!!!!!!!!!!

What is your game day routine?

Myself , I take a morning bike ride around the Cajun field grounds.
Usually return 2 or 3 hours before game time on a bike or just dropped off. (have parking pass).
Hit the Alumni tent. Listen to the band. Mingle. Do the Cajun walk.
Go in early and grab a brew. Watch warm ups.
Easy Breezy.
Life is good.

I am with you.

From what I understand a 250 rcaf is now required for TG spot. So at least 1 person should have a D pass making it easier to get to your spot post game. If you don't want to wait to get back on from Hilton, pay 250 and get your own D lot pass. It's pretty much the cost of convenience is going up. With a long waiting list of people willing to pay for that convenience it should go up.

I thought it as said you could park your tailgating trailers in your spot?

[zeppelincajun]

Well last year my non-tailgating routine went something like this:

1. INTEND to study for a tax exam.
2. Sit on the couch with my textbook and turn the TV on one game and pull up a Belt game on ESPN3.
3. Watch the games and occasionally glance at the textbook sitting next to me on the couch (maybe even read half a sentence in a moment of intense focus).
4. Start being honest with myself and realize that this is absolutely pointless.
5. Say ____ it and leave for Cajun Field to go tailgate about 5 hours earlier than I originally intended.

Just for some clarity the parking pass that comes with our tailgate spot will be useless because there is no more general parking, yes I do get one with my RCAF membership just asking for some clarity.

I get the feeling people are confusing TG trailers with pull campers. Could be wrong bit if you can't have a TG trailer them you couldn't have a cook trailer. I would think as long as they are unhooked and fit in your spot it would be ok.
