The only thing is the atmosphere isn't as good as it is at home. Instead of open grass lots for tailgating like we have at RU, everybody is scattered around the Bronx. I guess that's expected but we are used to tailgating like the below picture instead of in the middle of the city. I'm sure you guys will feel the same way, we made the best of it though.

By chance do you have any comparison pictures for your Home game tailgates and your game in NYC?

Don't have any pics of our tailgate at Yankee Stadium but it's mainly just a bunch of random lots or garages scattered around the stadium. Here's a few at RU, as you can tell i'm a student. One thing is for sure, there's going to be a lot of scarlet/red in the Bronx between both fanbases.

We parked on the top level of the 161st. Garage and we had a gas grill and alcohol is ok but you need to keep it in a cup. The parking attendants will come by to tell you the rules, just yes them to death and they are cool.

Stay away from the Harlem River Lots.

So not a real good comparison but Im betting if anyone has been to a game in Lincoln, Tailgating is real similar to that for the bowl game.... obviously NY is not lincoln... but I hope you get my point...

Looks like there are quite a few bars near the stadium. I think we'll be hitting those up, as I doubt we'll have a vehicle with us.

I tailgated with KnightSweats and about 25 others. We had the BEST location...it was the corner of the top deck with an amazing view...especially at night!!
Here is another picture. I hope it works...I've never been on a forum like this...I'm used to Scout.

Ha! I just saw the other pics that KnightSweats posted! The WVU game was a killer...we set up at 4am.
