First time for me going to a game with the Cytown work underway. We are parking in D4. Should I bring the bag boards or no? If there won't be room to set them up I'd rather not bring them, but obviously would like to bring them if there will be room. Thoughts?

Yes, plenty of that going on there. We’re in D5, but pretty similar.

Really depends on where you park and the available space around you.

If you go early enough it should be fine. Especially if you can get a spot near the grass. Just be respectful of cars. D4 is kind of a **** show when it comes to parking

Bag toss away!! just be able to move the stuff (all tailgating stuff) in case a car comes through late. I'm usually part of the later arriving crew now with my kids sports and such Saturdays. People are always pretty nice about moving, but sometimes there are setups that are too big to move.

I'm in D4 and was going to say "yes" if you get there earlier enough for a grass spot.

May need to put them away a few hours before kickoff.

I've seen some weird behavior in this lot this year. Saving spots, taking up multiple spots, etc. A few games ago a lady made somebody move their truck so she could turn the corner. It was wild.

Not exactly sure.

To me, taking an extra spot early isn’t a big deal but as spaces fill in, you need to be respectful and get down to one. Use the second as your grill, food make area and then break it down when you have stuff prepared.

I always wonder if any of these two spot tailgates have an extra pass.
There was a poster on here asking if they had two passes if they would be given troubles for using two spots. So some probably do. But an equal amount probably don't.

Peraonally would rather people use an open spot then set up shop in the drive lanes. Assuming they move when someone wants to park there

My clan will be there at 11. We scouted spaces today (Friday), glad we did. They move a dumpster onto our previous spot.

Will be interesting after construction done. Parking spaces added or spaces lost. Hope when masons start on second floors, their room for JLG lifts fits inside the current construction fence. Then again, construction maybe completed in the summer prior to first FB game.
