Okay--so message heard loud and clear--if I get BBQ for the tailgate, make it Georgia BBQ. Any other foods that people would be interested in? Right now, I'm thinking hamburgers, hot dogs, jambalaya, and some BBQ then plenty of snacks.

And it sounds like a lot of people are interested in the VIP tier of amenities, so I'll definitely keep that in mind as an option.

As much as I've done this in the past, and as much as I love tailgating with taco bell, hopefully most don't feel this way.
I've given a lot of thought to the liability etc, but hadn't thought of that particular angle--may just make the VIP section a dedicated bar and limited access for a smaller premium. Or just can the idea altogether.

Or just buy a ton of insurance.
Yeah, this only makes sense to do if it becomes 'the' thing to do, with hundreds of people, rather than dozens of people. Hopefully the ATL LSU crew can at least help me get the word out.

At least nobody thinks it's overpriced at $25 or that it's a godawful terrible idea.

Yeah, I plan to reach out to the Atlanta chapter if I get this off the ground. I want to offer their members a discount. Do you know how many folks show up for their events?

And hey, maybe starting it at 9 a.m. is a good idea for our fan base...
I am really excited about the kickoff game in Atlanta next season against UNC. With so much time to prepare/plan the trip and so many tickets available to each school (30k-ish each) it's going to be like a bowl game roadtrip on steroids. Plus we'll be undefeated! I think it's gonna make Seattle, which was a great time, look like a joke.

But having been to all our games in ATL over the last decade, I think+ tailgating sucks around the Dome and the bars are expensive. I was thinking about it and I want to organize a huge tailgate party downtown, outdoors near the dome, and invite fans in town from both schools.

I want to do a little bit of TD.com market research. How much would you be willing to pay for admission to a tailgate that included:

Free unlimited good food (carolina bbq, cajun food), soft drinks/bottled water, HDTVs with satellite for the other games that day, a little live music, somewhere to sit, and some shade from the sun/rain.

The bars will be plentiful, with beer and wine at $4 and mixed drinks at $5. It'd be open from 2 PM through after the game (which is supposed to be at 8 PM. We'll have the game itself on a 12' screen for those that don't have tickets.

Would you pay $30? $20? $25?

How much would you pay for admission and an unlimited drinking/VIP area wristband? $60?

What features do you care most about, and what could you do without?

And are you planning on going to Atlanta?

Thanks in advance for all serious replies and also the amusing ones.
