I just got off the phone with a lady at Cowboys Stadium and she said the parking pass lots won't open until 2pm on gameday. That seems a little hard to believe, only giving 4 or 5 hours to tailgate before the game. She really seemed to be struggling to find an answer for me, so I'm not sure that I trust this completely. Anybody have any insider info on what time the pass lots will be opening if it's any different than what this chick told me? I'm dying to get in there and start tailgating!

we were set up in rangers parking much earlier than that for the Cotton Bowl. I doubt that it will be cut that short.

Not that I really want to tailgate for that long for this game. First week of september in Dallas in concrete lots doesn't sound like my idea of fun.

Why's that?

They don't care about LSU's tailgating proclivity.

It generates more money for Arlington. No tailgating equals more people in bars spending money. Smart if you ask me. Sucks for the people going to the game.

Doesn't sound crazy. Probably a way to keep things from getting out of hand.

Reliant stadium in Houston doesn't even allow tailgating.

What about the RV lot?

Anybody know the earliest you can be there? I thought I remember hearing 12:00 on Friday.

we rented several spots in a private business lot near the stadium. i won't give the website on TD.com because I don't want to advertise for them, but we are starting earlier - 8am I think. You can fnid it if you look (Google maybe). We didn't want to take the chance of not being able to start til noon. We paid $40 a spot.

Dude,

We've been griping about this for weeks or months now. It's true and it sucks. Lots of folks are cutting their own deals with lots around Jerry World. There's a map of the parking lots and what they charge floating around somewhere. What's more, you can only cook/pitch tents in the Jerry World/baseball park lots on the grassy spaces so you better get there super early to grab one.

We had a legit spot in one of the lots for the Cotton Bowl and got up there fairly early (+/- 10 am I think). Only problem was that when a lot of people actually got out there, they had set up like two port o potties for like every 1,000 people which led to a lot of bottle pissing and such. Not cool Dallas. Hopefully they planned a little better this time.

You guys are lucky. Tiger Stadium is an exception to the rule. BCSNC last year didn't open until 4 hours prior either.
