re: Does anyone here use wristbands for your tailgates?

If your core group is the ones doing the inviting, can't you guys tell people, "we are hosting a tailgate. $5-$10 to enter for all you can eat and drink." Not sure why anyone would turn that down to be around people they want to hang out with.

I didn't go to LSU, but when I was in town for games and ran around with other college kids, I always offered someone $5-10. It was a small price to pay to have a good time and it was obvious the gesture was appreciated. If people don't like it, they can go tailgate somewhere else.
