Just find a space somewhere on campus if you don't tailgate. There will be a tailgate police force to monitor this and fine or arrest the offenders. And, you just can't open a table and grill. You must have a canopy, several tables, a big grill or several smaller ones, satellite TV, several footballs that you throw around all over the lot, at least one bags or bolo golf set that you play in the aisles, loud speaker system with noise blaring, unattended kids running all over the place, and enough booze to make people act like morons. Also, since everyone will be tailgating, they can shut the Yard down and make more room for more tailgaters.
Like these guys do for vegans?

If they are charging NINE BUCKS for a 12 oz. beer in The Yard...I would say that is the main problem with people not taking advantage of the setup. No thanks. I will stay out in the Convo lot & drink my own drinks I brought...play bags, hang out with friends, have our own good time.

$9 for 12oz????
Don't think so...anybody know for sure?

People I sit next to in the stadium told me that on Sat. They went to the yard & said they were asking $9 for a 12 oz. beer in there. And it was no special beer either. The people were stunned...could not believe it. Needless to say they left The Yard.

Wow, I should start a business from the HAF donor tent. We get free beer and wine there. I could hand it out from behind the tent and charge only $5. Then, I'll keep $2 and donate $3 to the HAF (to keep them from having me arrested). That way, everyone is happy.

(1) I blame the MAC directly for the falling attendance at games for all of the conference members. Sign a deal with the devil - ESPN - for 1/3 of the games each season to be played on a Tues. or Wed. night - you have killed attendance. Why buy a season ticket when you can only go to 3 or 4 home games? Many people just don't think it is worth it & stopped. Unless we go back to SATURDAY ONLY games...then maybe after awhile attendance will improve. I suppose only a conference change will do that. I do think the stadium upgrades are going to take a very very long time.

(2) Game day /tailgating atmosphere changed with what they did to the east lot (as others have said) and when they made the old movie lot - now known as Lot K - a donor lot. Ever since they made the movie lot a donor lot it has been mostly empty. When it was an open lot - it would fill up with people & was a great atmosphere. Now all of those people are separated from the stadium & out in the Convo lot...peeing in the weeds because there are not enough port a pots. No band visit ever happens out there & I personally miss that. I feel like the marching band is a HUGE part of college football. Lots of people in the Convo lot but we really are quite separated.

HuskieJohn is SO right that there are not enough bathrooms...22 port a pots for the entire Convo lot! I hear that they opened the Convo for the bathrooms - but not until 11:30 & only for homecoming. I hear it has not been open for other games this year.

+1. A voice of reason and intelligence.

Yep, I think that sums it up pretty well. The horrific OOC scheduling for a decade didn't help either. When you already have few home games (and fewer Saturday games) and the only OOC game is against Presbyterian, Cal Poly or Idaho, you deserve to not have people show up.

On the beer, I would like to have a couple in the Yard, but if it's $9 for crappy beer I just can't justify it. I didn't check the last couple games so I don't personally know what the beer deal was, going by others comments.

I guess that explains why the few times I have walked by the "beer tent" line in The Yard there was always no more than 1 person in line.

The area out there on the west side of the stadium, whatever they called it, was there. And my brother-in-law and I had a couple beers out there either last year or the year before. I know they had the big TV screen too.

Yes we had "The Yard" for 2014

And even in 2013 they had a working concept of it for the season, though it wasn't named "The Yard" yet.

here is a man of my own ilk!

any of us who went to school in the early 00s knows how great the east side tailgating scene was and how its nothing but a mere shadow of its former self now.

My favorite memory of NIU is tailgating in 2004. I've never had so much fun in all my life. Packed tailgate, packed Huskie Stadium. Times were good. Now we win this league every year against the same low tier opponents and our fans have gotten tired of being the top dog of the "have nothings."

I still am a firm believer that you shouldn't stop the chaos, you should just control it like they did in the earl 00s. The student tailgate was an unbelievably good time, and plenty of alumni were tailgating right next to it. Then the wild tailgate carried into a WILD Huskie Stadium. Sadly this lead to the opponents being moved to the other side of Huskie Stadium because the students back then were relentless towards the opponent. No team liked coming to Huskie Stadium. I remember one kid handing out pieces of paper to the entire student section with the names, numbers, majors, hometowns, high schools, and even some names of parents of the team we were facing. I even remember Toledo's coach flipping all of us off. It was a great time haha. My brother texted me during NIU v BGSU and the ESPN announcers said they had been all over the country and they couldn't remember a stadium so loud and crazy as Huskie Stadium that night.

Anyway, enough about the good old days. I think once the stadium is upgraded into this century it will bring more people and better opponents and god willing a conference change. Until then, it will be more of the same...tame, 2/3's full, and a pretty fun experience but nothing to write home about.

I had one of the EMU coachs threatening me saturday when I was making fun of the wrench leading into halftime. You can still be pretty brutal to the other team. Lembo a few years ago wanted a piece of me, so did Golden when he was at Temple. Last year I don't remember who it was but one of the coaches from another team was yelling at me in the stands to the point that the cops on the field told him to shut up and get in the locker room.
Its not near as bad as when they were on the student side, but they still get some abuse on the west side.

That sounds about right, I had thought it was $5.

Ya $4-$5 for a small cup...not a regular Dixie cup party size.

I know this summer Northerly Island was charging $12 for a 24oz of bud/miller/coors

That gets you to $8 for 16oz which is on the high end of acceptable IMHO. ( I think Cubs/Sox is $8+)

$9 for 12oz is a 03-nutkick

Lembo a few years ago wanted a piece of me, so did Golden when he was at Temple. Last year I don't remember who it was but one of the coaches from another team was yelling at me in the stands to the point that the cops on the field told him to shut up and get in the locker room.
Its not near as bad as when they were on the student side, but they still get some abuse on the west side.

Stay Classy. :smh:

hey all i said was they needed more football practice and less wrench carrying practice. He went haywire. It's nothing compared to what we did when they were on the student side. Nothing low class about it. The eagles come to town with a pipe wrench looking like plumbers, gotta expect comments.

RE: Gameday Experience
"Yes! I thought it was funny that the ref got on his mic and asked the PA announcer to stop the music when the opposition is getting ready to snap the ball. "

At the glass bowl I thought the piped in music, at times, was playing right up until the snap.
