If you ever been to Chiefs parking, they put you in spots as you pull in makes it easy and fast

For one thing, vehicles should not be able to drive that far in that center aisle. There are/should be barricades between the various lots in all north/south drives. That's why there are directions on how to enter "your" lot.
Having said that, I know parking lot people usually just let drivers through. That should be stopped at the original entry point.
I will say after going to the KState game last year and parking in their paved lot, they actually have a decent set up, each stall has a tailgate box behind. That box is approx 10 deep by the width of the spot. Makes it really nice to tailgate. And if you have a few people together you have a lot of room.

And this still allows for a lane to drive down between the boxes. Obviously it takes more room though, so they get less cars in the same space.

If his group has 2 passes, theoretically they could use 2 spots. Gray area, depending on enforcement. Doesn't make it less dickish, though.
This guy might have 2 spots... but he sure did act like an ass. Seriously at 4 am, find another 2 spots.. I am sure there were some available.

The worst is when some guy tries to navigate his F350 dually thru the lot and attempt to turn into another aisle. Had one genius run over a friend's cornhole boards and crushed them into dust. No apology. Kept going. The ironic thing is that there was only the driver and a passenger. They didn't need to drive something so huge to the game. Especially when they show up 30 minutes before kickoff. If you do this, people will hate you. These lots were designed in the mid-70s for small and medium sized cars with the occasional Electra 225 or Eldorado.

Might have to put this in with my tailgate equipment this season.

Some chowderhead clipped my grill last season. It was a tight lane, but he clearly didn't have a handle for the passenger's side of his vehicle.

It ripped the folding side table/wing off it, which I actually liked. I ended up taking the other one off too.

So thanks to to, poor driver in a red F-150!

Were your friend's cornhole boards in the driving lane?

I agree, driving a monster truck through the lots that late is probably a faux pas, BUT...if they paid for parking, tailgate or no, they have a right to park.
Nope. His boards were actually up on the grass by one of the tents. But those damn things are like a semi. No room for something that damn big. Perhaps they could make some lots for the monster truck/small **** crowd to park in. They would have fun running into each other.

Duallys don’t fit in tailgate spots. Should be in a different area.

Should not be allowed on campus. But I’ll post a few photos this fall of some fat ass trying to shoehorn one of those into a parking slot.

And once big boy gets parked, he’s got to squeeze out, which means the poor bastard who was parked next to him gets the truck door slammed into his car while fat boy throws his body out onto the pavement which is usually at least two feet off the ground. He leaves a nice dent ground into someone’s expensive car while not even noticing. 45D84336-36E5-4DD0-AD05-82C2201D0FA8.jpeg

Went to the state science fair at Hilton Son was in. I was sitting in the wife’s RAV4 and this minivan person open the door and slammed it right into my vehicle and just got in and didn’t even acknowledge . So that stuff happens everywhere

I feel your pain. That’s why I park far away from anyone in a lot. And we take my wife’s leased car to games.

Carry a ball peen hammer with you. Next time someone dings your car, give them some payback. Especially if they have one of those stupid parakeet logos on the car.

In that case, I have more sympathy for your friend. We have encountered fired up grills in the middle of the driving lane. If there was a "no tail gaiting lot" for those of us who don't, that was somewhat closer than the far side of M-W-L and Lied, we would happily use it. In fact, we used to park east of Brookside back in the early 2000s.
Our need to park closer to the stadium has increased in direct proportion to the decrease in my ability to walk distances, so we have had to bite the bullet and annoy tailgaters. Hopefully our new parking area will alleviate frustrations on both sides of the tailgate/non-tailgate sides of things. :)

My kid did this at the soccer lots one day and my wife waited for the owner. Owner filed a claim and got $1300 from our insurance for a door ding. You should have asked for his policy info

Where did you find this? I looked where I found it last year and it's not there.
Mine was on the front page when I signed in. There were 4 slides that I was able to page through on mine. There were bullets for the slide at the bottom of the text.

It was at the bottom of the text thanking me for renewing my season football tickets.

It’s not so much where you park and even if you may not be able to arrive sooner. It’s the guys who drive these HUGE pickups and attempt to navigate the lots. I’d suggest driving a car instead.
