That is the norm, and that is what I *hope* our fans would do. But depending on where they are tailgating, if he's setting up in a lot full of 50 UGA tents, it might not be a bad idea to get on people's good side.

I texted my friend I don't think there's enough room, our lot really isn't very big (accommodates roughly 30 car spots) and there are 3-4 RVs that will be in there on Friday. It's really just a space issue.

He said Clarke Central HS (just around the corner from us, on Baxter street near Millege) would be good, but I've never parked there so idk. I do know that's the main visitor tailgate spot though.

If he's at Myers, he's going to be around a bunch of assholes. I love my school but dammit if most of our students aren't complete assholes.

I would also be interested in hanging out. I can stop by with beer and womenz.

Me and a buddy are driving in from Marietta for the day. Thinking of just finding parking and hitting the bars right off campus pregame since its an early kickoff.

Totally different. North campus was some students, but probably 95% recent grads and above (age wise). There may have been some pricks but most NC tailgaters are good people.

Meyers is strictly students, mostly underclassmen. Total idiots and complete assholes. I would not advise trying to set up in Meyers, in addition to people being dicks for no reason at all, it would be a logistical nightmare.

I figured you would know this WG but what are the visiting seating sections in the stadium? I have tickets but they are being mailed to me from my brother so I dont where they are yet. He said they are good tickets so I'm guessing in the lower bowl.

What side of campus are the bars/arch area? Not real familiar with campus. Went in 2009 and was a nightmare trying to leave campus after the game headed back towards Atlanta

That's South Campus bordering on East Campus. I'm not sure about the tailgating there because parking would probably be an issue.

Let me look for you and I'll give some suggestions...

I'll catch up on questions in a sec, I was busy using the latest photoshop software on this pic



Golfer, the yellow circle is CCHS. Like I said it's the main visitors lot. As you can see it's wide open so can accommodate whatever you bring. It's about 1.1 miles to the stadium, just walk east straight down baxter street. Fun walk to the stadium, hell coming back straight uphill. The red lot it where I'll start the day, then I'll migrate and meet LSU folks from here.

North. It goes

Downtown area with all the bars
broad street/the Arch
north campus
stadium

Going south in that order. The stadium to the bars is probably a 10 minute walk going straight up through north campus.
