Tailgating has come a long ways in the last 10 years. We throw down hard on the West side in the hills above the parking lot

That's the best spot IMHO

I think those areas are ideal in location, although the access and topography keeps many people away.

If someone is setting up and taking down for you, it would be great.

The Gardens is good, but its a damned hike away.

They are great locations especially if someone is setting up the tents and breaking them down for you. What an ideal situation and less hassle.

I think Long is making a good move for this area. The Gardens is a great area but being south of Bud Walton makes it a hike after plenty of whiskey's.

The rest of the SEC doesn't understand. Besides Fayetteville and Knoxville it's flat as hell. Try lugging all your tailgating items and tents up hillsides before and after the game. F-That. Have it pre-set for.. winning.

The same general problem exists for Old Main that exists for the surrounding area. To get to Old Main from the stadium you have to walk up about as steep an incline as you can find anywhere. Its about straight up heading east of the stadium.

Easy stroll pregame, massive pain in the arse afterwards.

Sanford sits in a similar ravine, although not as extreme. Knoxille is flat near the stadium IIRC.

Knoxville, around the stadium it was pretty flat from what I remember. They have wonderful jail attire also...

Whoever owns the houses to the Westside of the stadium in Fayetteville, that place goes Off! I've seen 3 story beer bongs, ha. I never understood how anyone could handle that then walk down the hill to the stadium, seriously.

Also, when they knock down Barnhill and finish the Indoor football facility you'll be able to finally tailgate on the Southside of the stadium for the first time ever.

Now the old practice fields have been moved and planted farther south.

The more I learn about Arky, the more incomprehensible our three straight losses to them are.

Geez. Sleepy Sherm really did blow.

You do realize I'm giving you various angels to show where Victory East and North is located right?

It's impossible to capture the entire tailgating atmosphere at any school without overhead shots.

I'm showing the landscape how many hills must be dealt with unlike other schools.

I'm not buying that list. Florida and Tennessee are average at best. Georgia is way too low. So is LSU. I tend to think Ole Miss is way overrated after visiting five times.

Is that supposed to be impressive?

Yeah they're placement of UF and UT along with having LSU at 6 made that list bogus. Won't let that #1 ranking they gave us blind me.
