PurpleOut wrote:Hey guys, new guy here obviously. Like everyone else, very excited about football season coming up. Will be coming up for the SFA game and wanted to see what you guys suggested would be best for visitors that want to set up a tailgate. I was unable to make the game a few years ago, so didn't get to see the set up. But I know the area. I've been told just to go to the bar for the most of the day, then head to the stadium. But sitting inside and spending money at a bar isn't my idea of tailgating. So, long story short want to try to set up my tailgate with my group somewhere if at all possible. Was also told there is a cash lot we could get in. How bad are the rules in there? Any other thoughts would be welcome. Looking forward to the matchup, hopefully it's as good as last time!

Check with the TCU boosters club as to their location. Many visitor are located on the lawns of our physical education building beside Moody Coliseum. This location is on the visitor's side of Ford stadium.

And I do appreciate all of the hospitality. But we want to try to set up our own tailgate. We'll definitely be walking around the Blvd, but have quite a few people that will be joining us so want to try to have a spot staked down for most of the day.

The cash lot is fine if we are thinking of the same one. I was talking about the grassy knoll spot near Dedman Rec center where opposing teams usually set up tailgates.

When you say set up shop, I'm not sure what you mean. All the tailgate spots on the Vard are reserved spots paid for by individuals or organizations.

now you are challenging the concept of preservation of value. How does the school charge 1700 for my blvd spot when I can go get one for free?

I may have a more expansive view of what the "Boulevard" is than you, but I've never paid for a spot to tailgate. Last game I set up shop right next to the cheerleaders, south of the Greek tents and just east of the Dedman College sign.
