Tailgating

[jazzer88]

Hello everyone, what was the tailgating scene like on Saturday? We really enjoy tailgating a couple times every season, but between the masks and max attendance levels, we're concerned that there isn't much going on before the game. Any comments comparing Saturday with a typical game day?

It rained hard.

For about 10 minutes.

Tailgating was still happening and just buy a beer or coke in the stands and you can relax the mask. Everyone took good responsibility and social distanced in the lots. Fun game day minus the crowd and green brigade.

There were several tailgating...and seemed to keep it 10 or under. 

Just keep eating and drinking and you'll not have to worry about masking up unless you are walking around.

Main problem I saw was people trying to sit in areas other than their assigned seats.

Did anyone get call out for not wearing a mask ?

[NM Green]

Did not see any mask police moves, but the key is wearing it to the concessions and bathrooms. Kind of like life in the city when you need to run into Kroger, QT or Buccees.

I've seen late season games with less tailgating than there was yesterday!

Lots aren’t supposed to be open to anyone until 3 hours prior to kick.  They said they will enforce this at the next home game.  The only exception is for those in possession of an RV pass.

Thanks for the responses. We'll be there for SMU.

We did tailgate about halfway down from the hill (Blue Lot), and it was fun minus the random pop up shower and wind that knocked over many tents in the area lol

I guess you could say we "Distanced ourselves"

I hope so.  If we don’t do what we need to do collectively we wont have a full season.  Selfish behavior should be called out.

Wish that wasn’t the case. Don’t see the difference in tailgating longer as long as your outside and following the social distancing rules they have in place.
