Scenario: You can either attend a tailgate party all day and night without entering the game, or you can show up at game time and get in the stadium. Which is it?



for me --> Im there for the football and not real concerned about the tailgate (especially early in the season at 98 degrees).

Football, duh. I live several states away and on several occasions have driven in the morning of the game, arrived shortly before kickoff, walked straight to the Stadium, watched the game, turned around and driven right home. Tailgating and partying are awesome, but it's about the football.

In there to watch the game

Too bad half the "beat the traffic" crowd doesn't feel the same, pathetic losers

50% social
50% game experience.

Tailgate.

Don't get me wrong, the game is the best part of the day, it's what we all look forward to the most, but I'd rather have fun than "study" the game. Unless you're a player or a coach on the staff, the social experience of the whole day is what makes it great. I can watch the game on TV, and have a much better viewing experience. The social experience with my friends and family is more important than the X's and O's of the game.

I love y'all that go to the games, stay the whole time, and cheer your asses off, but I just do it from my tailgate spot.

Being in the stadium does not make you a bigger fan.

Enjoy tailgating and that atmosphere but I am there for football. Love that feeling when I first sit down and know I am in Tiger Stadium on a Saturday night!!! Nothing better.

Football. I get to campus two hours or so before the game and usually head straight to watch the band come down the hill and then into the stadium. I am sick of the drunks throwing up on everyone and acting like asses to opposing fans and those seated around them. I'm not mad though.

Game. Tailgating is very secondary with us.

Is this for every game? Because I would vote "there just to watch the game" in almost all of the games this year, but I wouldn't mind doing the tailgate thing for smaller games.

Tailgating. Once that stopped it was boring. I started staying home and watching the games on the tube. Gave Doug Gulley in BR my seasons tickets since his wife is my daughter. I can go to a game when I want by just calling Doug.
