I still don't understand the fascination with tailgating. Granted the closest I've been to a BYU game in a decade was in Reno at the beginning of the end. We went to the alumni assocation "tailgate" and enjoyed it for about 45 seconds and were then bored out of our minds. The idea of being outside for 4-5 hours BEFORE a 4 hour game has absolutely no appeal to me. I'd much rather be out on a bike ride or mowing the lawn in the morning and run inside the stadium just in time for kickoff.
BYU games Lebowski-style is more my style. |

I for one am interested in the idea of a stadium full of 50,000 sober fans. It must be nice. I'd imagine you could actually, like, take kids to the game without worrying as much about what they'd see/hear. I won't take my son to the games here because of the language.

I will say though Saturday rides are a lot of fun. There are only 6 games a year when you can tailgate at LES, so I plan my yard work, rides, etc. accordingly. Bubba PS What is Lebowski-style tailgating?

Lavell Edwards Stadium holds just shy of 65,000. So are the other 15,000 in attendance not fans or not sober? |

I'm a solid maybe:
I've never tailgated before but have season tickets (usually kick-butt seats on the 9th row baby!) and religiously attend BYU home games. I'm not sure what the fuss is all about tailgating-wise. It seems to me like the expenditure of time/effort would exceed any enjoyment I would derive from it. I would fell dumb just tailgaiting by myself with my three kids. Like The Borg previously stated, I think it would be a little wierd just showing up to tailgate with people I've never met before. Thus, the fact that I've never tailgaited before, don't have any idea how to tailgate, not sure I will even like tailgating, and don't have anyone to tailgate with are all big obstacles to me ever becoming a true tailgater. That being said, it would be nice if you posted your "tailgate checklist" so investigators like myself could get an idea of the time, effort, and commitment involved. P.S. - Did anyone else realize that The Borg's avatar winks? I just noticed that. Am I the last one to notice everything? |
