Just wondering when people were planning to set their tent frames for tailgating? Are any up yet?
Brace yourself, there were pictures posted on hob several weeks ago showing lots of tent frames up! Are they on campus? it looked like it, some were in the grassy areas just off some of the CWS lots!You mean on campus???
I would shocked if anything goes up prior
to a week out.
yeah but it's tent frames, not tents.I sure hope all the homeless in Lexington take advantage of this housing opportunity…. Cat’s Without Homes.
yes, when rules aren't enforced, rule keepers are penalized!A sign says don’t setup until Aug 1. Seems no one follows it why even have rule if not enforced?
Except the ole miss grove they pay for their spot, no? here, folks just set them up and leave them for months, no charge.Not having had tickets since 2019, what is this tent frame program? You mean people can put them up now for the season? Sounds like the Ole Miss Grove. Thanks.
No where near the grove. Just a bunch tents crammed in the easements and medians.Not having had tickets since 2019, what is this tent frame program? You mean people can put them up now for the season? Sounds like the Ole Miss Grove. Thanks.
Nah, the Grove actually enforces no tents until a very exact time on the Friday before a game.Not having had tickets since 2019, what is this tent frame program? You mean people can put them up now for the season? Sounds like the Ole Miss Grove. Thanks.

The University always puts up signs regarding that and never enforces it. When we discussed it with one of the people in charge that we've gotten to know over the years, he said the University doesn't want to get in the business of removing fans belongings. It's not a good look.A sign says don’t setup until Aug 1. Seems no one follows it why even have rule if not enforced?
Welp...our spot for last 8-10 yrs was gone. So we moved about 50 yds further away.Have team en route to check out status of our spot. Not feeling good about it. 🫤
Pretty much, Any grassy areas are up for grabs, but generally you need a parking pass for the lot adjacent to it. But I guess there are ways around that too, if you set up in a grove somewhere and just park off site somewhere.Except the ole miss grove they pay for their spot, no? here, folks just set them up and leave them for months, no charge.
Not sure what's going to happen once the AG research building is actually open. a lot of that space that was taken, Farm Road, the Grove, etc. will become some type of green space with sidewalks and such. I'm not sure if tailgaters will be able to use any of that green space for tailgating once the project is complete, but that's probably 3 seasons from now.Obviously i understand the need for more academic buildings etc, since it is a university after all, but sure seems they could be smarter where they decide to disrupt. Keep reducing tailgating space, especially green space, and especially in a time when the program is at basically never before seen heights, and you are asking for problems. It sure feels like that drove some of this extremely early activity thats rightfully rubbing people the wrong way because there is virtually no natural space left, which is stupid.
Tailgating is an integral part of the game and experience, which is one reason football popularity and attendance remains high while other sports drop. The school needs to set some strict common sense rules before someone in charge does something stupid and/or fans really come to blows, which will absolutely happen over some of these long held spots.
The difference is that the grove is in the middle of campus whereas the area around the stadium isn't a main part of campus.Nah, the Grove actually enforces no tents until a very exact time on the Friday before a game.
