DATE CHANGE*** So we have decided the best way to tailgate is in conjuntion with another Niner Event. So baseball is playing this day - baseball+stadium construction = great tailgate.
So we have talked about tailgating the construction of the stadium since we knew we were getting a stadium. Word is that we should have some concrete and what not soon. In the construction thread there was discussion of doing the first one of these early october. So with consultation from Mr, Bo - here we go!
What: Stadium Construction Tailgate
Where: DUH the stadium construction site
When: 10/15/11
Time: TBD - what do you guys want? Early or afternoon?
Who: All NinerNation
Do we need to give the school a heads up we are doing this? Bo? Alumnus? Either of you know?

I will say that you definitely either want to keep this on the DL or prepare yourself for massive amounts of red tape that is typical when you add fun+school spirit.
Why is this? Who does it? Will this change when we actually have a football team? Who do we contact about it?[/quote]
Why? - IMO 2 fold One, we have non Niners in key offices who donāt understand why people would want to do this. Two, the school doesnāt like anyone who does things outside of their sphere of control so they exert control when they can.
Who? - The AD and the Admin.
Change? - I doubt it. Not until we have some new leadership and fresh thinking.
Contact? - Good luck! Say too much and you will get called into the pricipals office.
I like the spirit of what you guys are trying to do⦠but tailgating is only tailgating if it is directly followed by an event.
Showing up at a construction site to drink beer behind your car isnāt tailgating⦠itās more like creative alcoholism.[/quote]
We moved this to match up with Niner World Series. Looked into mirroring a soccer game, but there were not many options for a saturday tailgate in early october.
And the construction of said stadium is the event!

Works for me. Just make sure the greeks dont care about non-greeks showing up. I crashed a few greek parties in my time and half the time they were not too happy about it. 8)
