RootforRoo44 Posted September 9, 2009 Report Share Posted September 9, 2009 We need a thread just for last minute tailgating related things and questions. Where is everyone planning on setting up? What will you be cooking? What will you be drinking?Also, what is the final word on alcohol? I have a keg already bought, is it allowed or what?

scottditzen Posted September 9, 2009 Report Share Posted September 9, 2009 There is a discrepancy between the Lot information mailed with my season tickets vs. the GoZips pdf. here http://www.gozips.com//pdf5/641139.pdf?DB_OEM_ID=10800. The mailer shows lot 73 (on Brown, adjacent to old softball field) coded blue as General Admission Parking.The pdf from GoZips shows coded yellow as Credential Parking available to Z-Fund members and season ticket holders with pre-purchased season pass. Anyone know what is going on here?p.s. Root, I would keep the keg conspicuously hidden, though well iced, based upon word of mouth. The deal is that drinking in the lots is technically illegal. But who knows, it may have been technically illegal at the Rubber Bowl too. Nobody knows exactly how things are going to shape up.

What will you be cooking? What will you be drinking?Also, what is the final word on alcohol? I have a keg already bought, is it allowed or what?I believe that the consumption of alcohol is fine as long as you are of age. I was told by a close friend who has spoken to the police cheif and the word is that if the cops partrolling see alcohol, they will come over and make sure everyone in the area is of age. I could be wrong, but this generally seems like the practice that they will be enforcing. If you're underage... youll have to get a little more creative.

Zipsrifle Posted September 10, 2009 Report Share Posted September 10, 2009 Going through my pre-Game Tailgating checklist. It's been a while since I've really needed it. Moved from Michigan about 2 years ago and most of my stuff was in storage or the kids prevented the tailgating. Listening to the University of Akron Marching Band on my Ipod while digging through boxes in the basement....AWESOME! I am so pumped right now! I'll get the final stuff at Giant Eagle tomorrow, and be ready to ROLL early on Saturday Morning! Plan to roll into Lot 34 around 9:00 AM. Probably won't be the first one there....hopefully I can get a spot! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scottditzen Posted September 10, 2009 Report Share Posted September 10, 2009 Hey there Zips89, the parking garages will be the worst places to tailgate.You're not allowed any bbq grills there, only in the outside lots.p.s. frisbee or any ball playing is restricted to grass fields.

Lot 34 is where we are going. Do you really think they are going to enforce the playing ball on the grass rule? It just seems like something that would cover their ass if anything bad was to happen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MaxZIP Posted September 11, 2009 Report Share Posted September 11, 2009 So is lot 34 the consensus pick for prime tailgating? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akronad Posted September 11, 2009 Report Share Posted September 11, 2009 It still looks like they are not planning on opening the lots until 10:00. http://www.gozips.com/ViewArticle.dbml?DB_...TCLID=204791396 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
