The tailgating culture is out of control and I would support severe restrictions on it.
Oh ok..

I pay for a parking pass and don't tailgate, and there are a lot of others like me, perhaps most. Conversely, a lot of tailgaters don't have parking passes, and it doesn't cost anything to set up a tent on a vacant patch of ground. I suspect tailgaters who don't buy game tickets are a net loss to the University, when security, wear and tear on buildings and grounds, etc, are taken into account. If I'm wrong, I'd like someone to show me the figures proving it.
Good for you, man. That parking pass helps pay for the student or faculty parking lot you park in that has been there for 20 years.
It almost sounds like you're pissed about having to pay for a parking pass that is near where people can park and tailgate for free.
What is your issue? Has your parking pass price gone up because prisons are charging more for inmate trash cleanup on Sunday mornings?
What lot are you in?
I'm not happy about stupid fricks that can't seem to put their vehicle between the parking stripes in my lot. If a stupid dipshit can't put their vehicle in one space in a parking pass lot, then they need to buy more than one space or get towed.

I have a parking pass because I can afford it and the convenience is worth the price to me. That's not the issue.
My problem is the people who leave the game at halftime because their tailgate is more important to them than the game. And others who are there just to party and never go to the game, but contribute to the congestion around the stadium, thus motivating others to leave early to try and beat the traffic. Not to mention the trash issue, which has already been beaten into the ground.
People who tailgate have a good time, a lot of people enjoy it. I'm not disputing that. I'm saying not enough attention has been paid to the negatives, both in terms of cost and in terms of the effect it has on the atmosphere on campus and inside the stadium.
