How's the Tailgating setup? I'm coming down from Louisville and have several family members that are SU alumni and that are coming as well and I would like to know when/where/how to setup for a tailgate near the stadium. Thnx...

The implication was SU fans started calling when this game was confirmed as scheduled. Of course, a year ago, or whenever it was, there were no tix yet, so they were advised to call back when tix were available. Now, SU fans are buying tix at a rapid rate. This should be no surprise. As several of us have advocated for decades, if Tech was gonna schedule an in-state FCS opponent, it should be SU, first and foremost. The game WILL be a sell-out. So, Tech fans had better not wait too much longer to get tix.

Reminds me of an old Yogi-ism:
Yogi and his party goes to a restaurant for the first time and there is a long waiting list to be seated. Yogi tells one of his buddies "This place will never make it. There's too many people that eat here!"

Statboy, always another spot at my tailgate for a sharp witted foe! Going to be fun. We will probably start early Friday evening.

Thanks for the invite. If I'm not too tired, I'll see if I can take you up on it.

The designated tailgate areas on the blacktop are all reserved.
But free tailgating is available in the grassy areas around the adjacent TAC (basketball arena) on a first come first serve basis. Arrive at dawn, and you should have your pick.
(somebody correct me if that's wrong.)

Correct. Although I suggest everyone else arrive around 10 so I can be good and set up.

With the very real possibility of a sell out, does anyone know how the student admission being addressed? I'd hate to see students turned away because we sold too many tickects to visiting fans. Of course it would be equally as bad if we lost out on tickect revenue because we reserved a bunch of seats for students that don't show.

I've no doubt a last minute solution will be announced two days before.
Of course, as I've complained about elsewhere, the "Blue Crew" nonsense is going to throw a huge wrench into the works.

Back in the day, students would show up early and claim their seats. With this current generation, that is not the case.

Back in the day (pre JAS) you had to miss dinner to get yourself a seat for an 8:00 kickoff.

And you had to walk there barefoot in the snow?
Uphill both ways?

I get there an hour early. Probably will go even earlier for this game.
