Firepits at tailgating a no no.

If you want the contact information for the individual in charge of parking and all event management, pm me. I don't want to post his name and number online.

I had an issue with the traffic flow and he was very helpful.

Hilarious and right on! Sorry I'm not saying that students should be treated like crap, but I am not going to even step into that comment.

I believe the majority of us on here can B#$# because we all have already paid our 4 years of tuition. Of course if ISU invested our tuition money, it would not be worth anything in today's market.

I don't want to come off like an ***, but dont y'all have a list of allowed tailgating rules?

Down here in Aggieland, the rules are pretty specific.

As far as parking, the descriptions y'all are giving makes it seem like the parking is in dirt lots and fields. Is that right? Our parking is in campus parking lots.

I'm just curious. Best of luck this weekend.

No joke. redneck, maybe, but no joke. A lot of us talk like that.

Both. There are donor lots in the parking lots around the stadium that are concrete, and then a lot of grass lots where lesser donors, students and visitors park. The lot in question is a grass lot if I am not mistaken

If you're planning on coming up, you can find a map of the parking lots on the athletics webpage

I said money to the University, that's where tuition goes isn't? I didn't say donating to the Athletic Dept.

My point was just because you give money to have a parking spot doesn't mean you should be treated better because of it. We're all equal. I shouldn't get S*** on because I park in the grass lot and you shouldn't get s*** on because you park in the cement lot.

From the ISU athletic WEBSITE gameday polices....Think you might have been given a copy with your season tickets.

Tailgating Policies
Please limit your tailgating to one parking space and do not block the path for other vehicles to park. Remember to clean up your area before departing. No glass bottles, kegs or open fires are allowed in parking lots. Tents can be no larger than 10’x10’.

What's a closed fire then? If not what the original poster had.

Apparently thats what the guard is being picky about....don't know if I would have a fire of any kind that you can't shut down immediately.

We use a 40,000 btu LP heater in the cold AM last Sat, then hook up our barbeque grill when we want to eat.

We had a lot of fun tailgating at A&M a few years ago; got offered plenty of BBQ

I will agree that quite a few of the parking dept "employees" get a real power trip out of putting on a neon vest once a week. I can't believe how rude they are sometimes and the lack of common courtesy they treat people with.

I'm a current student too! So, where does that argument leave you now? I also work for the university, am a member of CC, have football and basketball season tickets and did my undergrad work at ISU too. That is not why I think I deserve respect. I don't deserve to be cussed at by some d-bag kid who also is representing the university. I also deserve to park by my friends who we moved lots to park with as we arrive at the same time or damn close to it.
