Tail Gate Spot Parking Policy (merged)

What does that have to do with liability of parking the current TG area.?

[Bankruptcyman]

Ok. The team members that are hosting are they all rcaf?

Most of the PBA are RCAF members. Our combined RCAF contributions are well over $25,000 per year.

So most park in the lot? They won't be parking behind the hilton right?

For those that keep saying this have either never stayed until the end of a game or just aren't thinking this through. I stay every game to wait for traffic to clear. I can promise you this, at 9pm there aren't a bunch of children running around the TG area. Nothing will change, except a few people will now have to walk a little. The ones griping will load their stuff before kickoff and leave halfway through the 3rd quarter like they always do. The chance someone getting run over leaving the TG area at 3 or 4pm is way more than at 9pm. Not even a discussion. When the ones who are making the biggest complaints would be the first ones to try to take the university to the cleaners if their kid got run over in the TG area.

The year after a UL employee ran over fans, golf carts were no longer allowed at Cajun Field. Smart move, remove harms way.

Asking families to traverse harms way is a different story. Arms full didn't see traffic. ...

Then to allow cars back in at night? Not so smart move.

Parking isn't the problem, extra driving around is.

Turbine, do you know how many people carry stuff now? Every person without a TG pass has to carry stuff. Running into a kid with popeyes in your hand is different than backing over a kid with your car. Cars go back in at night now, a lot of them. The more these people keep saying this makes me thinks they have never seen the clock hit zero. I'm telling you, this isn't a big deal. People are lazy or impatient. That's it, this is either bothering people because they will be at the field an extra 20 minutes or they will have to walk an extra 100 yards. You cannot convince me it's safer to have cars driving around during tailgate. This whole double the traffic thing is not true, you come in a gate pull up drop your stuff off and go park, at this point TG area will not be slammed with people. After the game go to your car make your way towards the gravel cut across as if you were leaving the stadium by the track, instead when you get to gravel turn into TG area. At this point there will be hardly anyone in the TG area. Load your things, by the time you do that traffic will be gone and you drive straight out. It would be the same as if you sat in the bumper to bumper traffic to get out.

Unfortunately like I said earlier, the people who do it right have to suffer for the idiots. That's usually the way everything goes. Most probably use their spot in a safe way but a lot don't. It only takes 1 idiot.

Sadly I have to agree with you here.

The real problem us Scott Farmer is an IDIOT - he is small time swim coach mentality, he isn't a true leader, he reincarnate of the fossil

Forget it Turbine.

They won't see the disaster that this plan is until someone gets hurt or worse.

Hopefully, our concerns will not materialize, but I fear it will be just a matter of time.

I see it as 2 groups of people regarding the picking up of things after games:

Group 1 - Ok with it, will make plans to either pack up things before kick off or relax after the game, let traffic clear, then load up.

Group 2 - Unhappy that regular routine is broken, unhappy that they will be required to carry things and walk. Will have to trek 50 yards after game to get car, then flow against traffic to pick up things, will have wife and kids screaming bc they're tired and ready to get to bed.


If you had to pick, which group do you think will be a potential threat when driving at night where kids are running around? The group that is saying relax and take your time? Or the group that is ____ed off about change and safety, and will be in a rush to get home?

The only question I have is did anyone that has a regular tailgating spot receive a letter notifying them of these changes?
