How prevalent is tailgating at your home games and around your league? I've been up in the booth the last two seasons and have to walk by all the tailgaters on the way up. I love they hook me up with grilled burgers and hot dogs every time.

Tailgating had more kids involved in it than football. They even had T shirts. Probably the reason that school sucked at football now. Really outside that school though I don't think anyone else was really into it in that conference. |

At my previous school, the school did not allow tailgating on campus. The students had a large area down the road where they tailgated, then drove up to the stadium and paraded into the stadium in a group. It was a sight to see--great student body.

I could see where administrators would be weary of fully embracing it. It does add to the spirit and creates a game day atmosphere for the fans.

My last school the AD said no because the boosters run the concession stand and didn't want people to eat before the game. Current school, the AD knows my previous AD and said, "who is he to say who can eat where and when?" We had huge speakers blasting all kinds of music for parents and kids. Corn hole games, nerf footballs, A few grills, good times.

Doesnt happen at our place, but it did at the school we played in the 2nd rd this season. Alot of the tailgating wasnt actually on campus, it was just across the street off of school property, and it was pretty big.

We have a couple teams in our conference that have this, and a neighboring county has several that have great tailgating. |
