Does anyone know how much the cost of getting a tailgate on the greenspace is?

The website doesn't list any prices just what they offer in terms of packages

Knowing Auburn, probably a few appendages.

I know

Our athletic department is a complete joke in my opinion. They forget that they are an arm of the university and without the university and alumni's support, they would not exist. I understand supply and demand and everything but it is ridiculous that everything remotely involved with Auburn sports is so overpriced, especially when they kick back little to nothing directly to the university.

I still do not understand donations to the athletic department. My uncle is a huge falcons fan but he would never think it was necessary to "donate" money to the Falcons on a yearly basis. He does find it necessary to donate money to Auburn Football.

We figured out my brother's expenses last trip for a tent, RV spot, season tickets, etc, etc. it wasn't pretty. At least he gets to expense it.

We checked a couple weeks back and they were pretty much sold out for the rest of the season. If you get their tv/sate package, it's about $75 a person. t depends on the game though (IB and FAU aren't priced the same)

I was just curious more for next year. Did they give you any general prices? Also, is the TV/Sat package 75$/person or did you divide total price/people attending?

Really? Do you really not understand?

Those don't even remotely have anything to do with each other. Two totally different scenarios and operations. White collar (collegiate athletics) vs blue collar (NFL) at its finest.

For a small tent for a year it is in the area of $4,000 I believe.

We do our own tailgate with 2 20x10 tents, food, satellite tv, 25 chairs, and such for less per year than tailgate guys and we are in a prime spot on campus. If you truly want to "tailgate" then it's cheaper to do it yourself. Most people are too lazy to do so and would rather pay more to just show up at a spot set up though I guess.

Their tent packages are organized by the capacity of the tent. I want to say we were thinking about getting a tent for UGA (I think). Their smallest tent was rated 15 person I think, and it was $1200 with table, chairs, tv, sat, coolers. My brother had a tent for the MSU game. It was their medium sized tent (25-30 I think)...they just divided out per couple. But to answer your question, yes they have flat rate prices per game.

ETA: We called them and they just ran off a bunch of numbers, but they said if we emailed them they would send their sales sheet to us. So you might just want to shoot them an email.

After the initial cost (tents, chairs, tables, tv, satellite), it would be cheaper after a tailgate or 2. Tailgate Guys is purely for convenience.
