Question for those who have utilized the BlockParty tailgate at LSU games

Do you like it and was it worth their high prices? From the outside looking in their cookie cutter approach seems sterile and boring. Personally I would never give them a dime for what they are offering as I don’t like the concept nor the setup. Curious if anyone that has used BlockParty would recommend it.

I am categorically opposed to them. I cannot stand the idea of homogenized tailgating like that. Not at LSU.
Having said that, at lunch yesterday with my company’s VP we were discussing a tailgate for UGA and someone brought up BlockParty. He said we contacted them and they are already completely sold out for Georgia.
Wanted to joke that any company doing that at LSU sold out long ago. But we were both really surprised the demand was there. My guess is that any marquee games will be the same thing. But the low level games won’t sell. Putting downward pressure on those prices.
Sad, really. I’m worried they are here to stay.

I have some friends that use “Tailgate Guys” in Auburn. They all have kids that attend Auburn.
They pay $12k for 10x20 tent, 2 TV’s generator, tables and ice. There are 5 families that all “split” the costs. The morning of the game, they can drive up and drop off anything they need for the tailgate and the Tailgate Guys have golf carts and drive it to their spot.
With this being said, I was raised tailgating outside the AG Center, a lot of times we were out there as the sun was coming up. We grew into a large group with TV’s, grills, sound system, etc....which is what it is all about.
I can say the older I get, it does seem a lot easier to just pull up and drop your shite off, hang out not load or worry about anything working/breaking.

How do they set up. You tell them where to go? What if the spot is taken? Seems like a fight at sonic is waiting to happen

Price seems unreal
But for someone who has to fly in I don't hate the idea
