bobbyake Posted October 19, 2011 Report Share Posted October 19, 2011 Plan on tailgating Wednesday, October 26 for the Bowling Green game. Possibly lot 9 unless anyone has a better location. I will look into getting a half keg of Thirsty Dog Pumpkin Ale and will buy a bunch of hot dogs for the event. http://thirstydog.com/news/beers.php forecast says 60% chance of rain but a little rain never hurt anyone.

skip-zip Posted October 19, 2011 Report Share Posted October 19, 2011 I think it would be great if people started tailgating for Soccer too. You sometimes see a few people out there. It helped when it was preceded by a football game, like we saw a couple of weeks ago. We will get one other opportunity like that, on the 29th of October. But, the football game is at noon this time, so I don't expect as many of those people to stick around all afternoon.Bobby, these next couple of games will be the real test with soccer attendance. It's dropped dramatically since we had a loss and the weather has gotten cooler. And now another loss, and possibly a drop out of the Top 10. So, are all of these people bandwagoners who only cared when we were the top team in the nation? Or, are they going to show that they really want to support Akron soccer? I sure hope it's the latter, but I have serious doubts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
K92 Posted October 19, 2011 Report Share Posted October 19, 2011 Kudos to Bobby for organizing a tailgating event. You are a man after my own heart. Akron needs more people like you to cultivate a bigger better tailgate culture. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Incidentally, MY parking lot is adjacent to the Odd Corner on Exchange St., and (conveniently) not too far from Manny's Pub.I will be in form by 5:30, come rain or shine.

fknbuflobo Posted October 24, 2011 Report Share Posted October 24, 2011 Lot 9 is free, and they allow drinking? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ando Posted October 25, 2011 Report Share Posted October 25, 2011 Lot 9 is free, and they allow drinking?I think it does require a university parking pass, although I'm not sure if they'll actually be out enforcing/ticketing during gametime - I would think you'd be fine without. I'll just be walking over from my house (I live about a block away), so you can just borrow my parking pass if you like. As for the drinking, they let it happen for football games, so I would think we're in the clear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RootforRoo44 Posted October 25, 2011 Report Share Posted October 25, 2011 Lot 9 is free, and they allow drinking?yes and yes.We've been tailgating there all season and haven't had a problem, even gave a member of UAPD a hot dog the one time.
