Nice!

thanks for the fix

Can't wait!

I'm pumped

Out of my price range, but I wonder if they'll put port-o-johns up there. What will be the bathroom situation?

This looks so cool. One thing to think about at the new stadium is how the tailgating experience might change how fans plan their GameDay.

At legion, we got pretty used to just walking in 10 minutes before kickoff. Lots of gates, lines were not long and heck, I know in my case, I had extra tickets and would go back to my tailgate at halftime to refill a beverage. ?

Besides this being on the roof, elevators, etc., I think everyone tailgating will need to allot more time to get into the stadium.

But also one of the great things about Protective is that I think a decent amount of people may continue their tailgates after the game. No need to rush out of uptown or sit in traffic.

Ok, so I’m a bit of an idiot, started a thread before realizing this thread was here. Been a while since I had been on and am off my game.

Is this the only place they will be doing tailgating? It will be interesting to see how it all works out and how the tailgating for the non gold members goes.

This is specifically the site for the "BlazerTalk" tailgate. Others will also be atop that deck, but also in different locations.

I don't know if it will be a factor at Protective Stadium, but I have been to several buildings where elevators are limited to 4 or 5 persons per run due to social spacing. I doubt there will be any "elevator police" checking their use, but there may be some limits posted.
