Tailgating Prices Elsewhere

[GreatestStory]

So excluding RV parking and upscale/catered options, how much do other universities actually charge?

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

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

Texas: $300 per season or $55 per game

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.

Prices aside, can you imagine the sh!+ storm if they implemented "The" Ohio's catering policy here. Cajun tailgating now proudly brought to you by Sodexo. Haha.

In the past they catered the student tailgating lol.

Actually the fairest comparison would be to any school in the sunbelt. That is the company we keep and the conference we are in.

True, but I don't mind using Southern Miss as a ceiling.

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

Considering how much our culture enjoys cooking drinking and partying/tailgating I think the price is fine. Supply and demand and not many people demand to cook and drink more than we do...if anyone. Also majority of places I’ve been nobody has spots that can fit a vehicle and a 20x20 tent

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.

Seems TAMU does. First one I checked, so guessing there are more.

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!!!!

Lastly, according to our policies, traditional tailgating can be done in the general parking areas.

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.
