Their website says lots won't open until 4 hours before kickoff? Does anyone know of any surrounding areas to get started at around 8am? We will only have two tents setup, any surrounding business close to the stadium that will let us setup?

There isn't a lot to do around the stadium unless this has changed since LSU/Wisconsin. We took the tram in for some late tailgating after a solid day of pre-gaming. Prepare for clown car car conditions in the tram.

Hahaha man, I swear there is a post like this every year (since we have been opening there and playing bowl games). As mentioned, the "surrounding areas" aren't your safest places. There will be tailgating going on welllllll before the "4 hours before kickoff". I wouldn't worry too much about it. Also, more info and details will be shared closer to game day.

I would just suggest posting-up a local bar, drinking & eating there, take an Uber to the stadium...and live to tailgate another day. The surrounding area sucks, and having your own car there BLOWS...at least that's what it looked like judging from the absolute shitshow that was leaving NRG after the Wisconsin game. Then again, even taking public transportation sucked balls, so maybe having your own car was better. Hopefully, they are more prepared for the game this year.

Last time there they had Cowboy Mouth and an area to hang out. Selling beer etc. wasn't bad. Anyone know if something like this is going on again?
