Believe it or not, I got mine at Albertson's in Lafayette. I think Academy has them too but they were sold out at the time. The quality is not really commercial grade, but still pretty good. Only complaint is the Toonces logo, but oh well...

i just bought one today for $229 online. I looked for a couple of hours then decided to go ahead. They also have them at Goodwood Hardware for $269....same tent.

And yes, upset that the online options have TOONCES on them!!! So I bought a bunch of flags with the old tiger on them to make up for it!

thanks guys!

how risky is it to leave your tailgate stuff out, at say, the parade ground during the game? we plan on hanging out after the game as well. will it be safe during the game?

Ebay. And you're fine leaving your tent out. Just don't take my spot and you're good.

If you're putting your tent out on Friday. Just wait until 5:30. By then everyone who's laid "claim" to "their" spot is already there.

I got mine at academy. They mispriced it, so I got a 14x10 for 50 bucks

I was looking at these on at the Academy on Siegen and the ones with Toonces on them were 90 bucks. There were a couple nicer ones but the most expensive was like $120.
