Saturday questions
Hoping for good weather.
Been to a zillion games but not this. What to expect? Drinking...does tailgating actually happen...similar to game day? Kids (as in little ones) acceptable? Ect, Ect.
Any info would be great.

Outside the tent there is not much going on but I think they said they will have someone selling stuff. I did not see people tailgating outside of the tent last year. Its $15pp but I didn't have to pay for my 3 little kids last year since they were under 3. A big stroller is a problem so I suggest an umbrella stroller for maneuvering a little one.
I read that there was going to be beer served in the tent and I don't think it was like that last year but not sure since I don't really drink that much.
The tent was rather full last year so if you have a group of more than 2 or 3 get there early so you can claim all your seats together.
The food is great with several different items. You get small sample sizes of each item so go around to each station get one of everything then get seconds of what you liked. You should be full after that. My wife and kids all found things to eat even though they are typically picky.
Bring you checkbook just in case. Last year there were some auction items but they didn't announce that they have anything this year so I don't know.
The last hour it gets very crowed in the tent so we typically leave to let the kids run around for 30min before the practice.

Pretty sure they did have beer last year in the tent. Don't remember what kind.
