If you move the tailgating out of the parking lot you might as well call it "Couch-gating". Because that is where everyone would tailgate.... at home!
I'd rather see MORE tents and shuttles for the parking.

That's what I thought, that would be a bad idea to move tailgating away from the stadium, much prefer to move parking and have a shuttle/walk.

I don't think anyone saying "moving tailgating away from the stadium", just stating that with growth of attendance, we need to look at expanding the tailgating footprint.
With the Miss State game, it went well. Tech fans tailgated around the stadium complex. Moo fans tailgated over by Memorial Gym/Hale Hall lot.
It's no different than what we experienced tailgating at A&M, LSU, etc.

I'm fine with additional tailgating in old Caruthers lot, for a fee for visiting fans or fans who aren't up to Trophy/Champion level yet, first come first serve.

I wish that they would use the whole parking area for tailgating, though, instead. It is more fun with both teams in the same spot and I don't think it has ever caused a problem at Tech. Use the other areas for parking.
Re: Someone Has Finally Listened - Southern Univeristy Coming to Ruston in 2015
Better idea would be to move the rugby field parking and make it first come/serve tailgating, move the first come/serve parking to Neilson/Caruthers.

Ugh, no thank you. I rather the dumbassary ULL fans not tailgate around the stadium.
Part of tailgating is having your car nearby. I doubt fans would want to drop their gear off and park elsewhere. It works at Ole Miss, but prob won't work here.
I like this set up from Southern Miss.

What about people who have cancelled LTAC donations or asked for refunds because they get to the stadium and see that the parking they have paid for is full and no other parking is open around the stadium because of tents. Not going to give names, but it has happened more than once or twice. How valuable are those LTAC giving, multiple season/sport ticket holding fans/ alum?
Not saying it is the end of the world, but it should be considered.

Maybe said people should get there more than 20 minutes before kick off, I've never seen LTAC parking filled at the +30min to kickoff mark... either way should be resolved somewhat since they've upped the level to get Champs to get C parking.
Re: Someone Has Finally Listened - Southern Univeristy Coming to Ruston in 2015
If LTAC lots are ever filled up, allow the LTAC overflow access to the Cash lots. Problem solved.
