Update: New Situation

Received an email response from Herb Vincent on Friday morning, this guy is good. He contacted the parking department and confirmed that trailers are allowed on campus in non-reserved, non-restricted lots. The lot in question is not reserved, nor is it restricted. With that confirmation, I prepared for my battle with security and possibly the police.

With my fan guide and a, printed out, personal email from herb,we left at our usual time around 3am Saturday morning. Unfortunately, the trailer has a blow out and the spare is back at the house. Fast forward 3 hours and we arrive at campus to a car parked in our tailgating location and some tents set up next to it....Guess who....the rent a cop who kicked us out last game.

To keep myself from going to jail, I took a walk towards the stadium on stadium drive, if I stayed, the guy would have gotten a beat down and I would miss the game. On my walk I noticed an empty spot where we sometimes see the same crew and then other games they dont show up. I walked back to the truck, where I found Mr rent a cop pinned to the ground by a friend of mine. Seems he started to get a little cocky while I was cooling off. I told everyone to get in and we went down the street to the other location.

:New Situation:
By now its almost 7am and we proceed to set up in this other location. We complete our setup, DJ equipment, TV's, Satellite, Tents, Grills, cookers, etc and as soon as I grab my first drink someone is bitching to us that we are in their spot.....

Im not a fan of taking others tailgating locations, but in this situation, Im not feeling so bad. Its 8am, your just showing up and you only show up for some games and you want us to move. Are we wrong in this situation, we like the new spot, would be wrong in continuing to tailgate there?

if not for the blowout do you think you could have gotten in your spot? tough situation, i haul our trailer with gear, and until i park in our spot i have this weird feeling driving to the game that someone might mess it up.

i believe in first come first serve. if you want to keep your spot get there early enough. they are not reserved by pay, so they must be reserved by effort.
