Can we sell out???

Let’s look at it another way. Maybe I misunderstood your point but if I have to park, then walk a long distance just to set up a tent and BBQ pit in a spot that’s nowhere near the stadium, that’s a problem. First, the University isn’t profiting from that setup. Second, I’ve got to haul everything back to my vehicle after, and if the tailgate area isn’t close to the action, I’m more likely to just head back to my car and skip the game entirely.

That’s exactly why the Band Box concept matters. The whole idea is to make the experience as appealing and effortless as possible for the casual fan. If you give them a convenient, lively space near the stadium where they can tailgate, socialize, and feel part of the energy—they’re far more likely to stick around and attend the game. It’s about proximity, atmosphere, and lowering the friction for participation.

Heaven forbid you have to walk. Geez, nobody is telling people THEY HAVE to tailgate that area. But if people want to say the price is keeping people from tailgate(which i understand). Here is an area where you dont have to pay, the university has tospend nothing on building a structure to "tailgate". Its a no lose situation. This is something that can be implemented right now.

I am just being realistic, if we do it lets do it the best way that would bring more fans in, and what would work for this area.

I think Turbine hit the nail on the head..

They could very easily get more tailgaters with a free tailgating area. They could sell more tickets if they were cheaper
They could sell more concessions and merchandise if they had higher attendance. They could draw a serious crowd of people at the NEZ just by installing standing-only tables at the top of the hill where parents can stand around with their drinks and watch their kids.

The problem is that every one of those things means more work and more liability for the school, which they hate.

I admire your passion.

Gotcha, I know admin wants to charge people to tailgate at stadium, I get that. People say it needs to be more affordable. Naybe they should evaluate a way to make both work.

The part that made it special under Hudspeth was how compact it was. Making it more spread out isn’t the solution.

What I experienced growing up was being a part of my parents life. I still had lots of fun.

It seems like parents today are a part of their kids life.

Good point, never thought of it that way.
