psh!!!! Who needs academic buildings!?!?! We all know why we went to college for!!!! More dorms = more girls!!!

a little knowledge, but all you want to do is learn how to score."

New era.... Football + More dorms =????????????

They're going to have to start allowing tailgating on the top levels of the garages, or simply on any green space on campus if this keeps up. Park in the garages, take a cooler and grill on wheels to the closest grass to the lot and set up your stuff. First come, first served like the Grove at Ole Miss.

My point is that we will continue to pay those dues and pay an additional $100/$150 for the tailgate spots, so we will pay additional money at some point in the future. And stay tuned for the seat licensing fees when the new stadium comes on line. Athletics will not pass up the opportunity to gain more free money by using current industry tactics that they have been bonusing us because we are playing in an 80 year old stadium.

I think this will be reality in due time. It's the only way to continue having the number of tailgate spots that were around when the football program started.

Perhaps any green space in the "box" created by Powhatan Avenue, Hampton Blvd, 43rd Street, and 49th Street will be free game at some point. Either that or allow tailgating in certain open places such as on Kaufman Mall, the Quad, in front of the new systems engineering building, and maybe by Whitehurst Hall.

Another option would be to allow tailgating on the golf course (anywhere but the greens, perhaps?) but I'm not sure if that could happen.

Tailgating & parking on the golf course seems like a good option. When we would travel to the Rose Bowl, many people park & tailgate everywhere but the green. The way the golf course is elevated and the projected spot of the stadium would be a great opportunity for scenic views of the stadium. Can't wait to see some renderings and options ODU is thinking of.
