Yes the poem is 45 minutes before kickoff, right behind the house at 707 Melrose. R4Hawks and MrsR4Hawks and ArtVandelay are fun and gracious hosts, and various celebrities/HaLo royalty wander in and out throughout the morning/afternoon. Hot Damn it's a good time...
Can definitely confirm that. Wish I could be there today but I'll be on the road to Illinois. :icon_cry:

Guess the plan is to tailgate in Hancher. Not my #1 choice and only parked there a couple times. How is Hancher for a tailgate location?

I enjoyed the shit out of lot 65. The lot that runs next to Hawkins Drive that you walk by from lot 65 to Duane Banks. Looks like a great spot.

I’ve parked there a couple times this year. It’s decent, a little tamer than other lots but plenty of fun. Price is right and the shuttle system runs pretty smooth.

We get people who park at Hancher and just bus to our tailgate spot. There’s some spots over by Myrtle Lot, Melrose Court, near the church that are a good time too.

My group tailgated in lot 56 or 59 (can't remember exactly). It was just off Melrose (next to Melrose Ct). People were still driving in at 1:30pm for a 2:30pm game. Everybody had to stop everything to move tables, chairs, games, grills, etc. Buncha goddamn fucktards thinking they can arrive in a parking lot that late.

Lot 65 was like that: look at all the room for tailgating activities- next thing you know kids are getting sideswiped by cars making Reece VanderZee type catches near gametime

There’s always couple late arrivals by me. I’m gonna set up a canopy tent for tomorrow and I’ll give those fucks an earful if they pull in at noon.

I almost ran you over after the Minnesota game. You stepped right in front of my vehicle when I was trying to exit lot 49. I should've clipped you.

Don’t be a douche. People pay a lot for tailgating spots so they can roll in whenever they want.

Sitting here in south Hancher and I think they put tarps on wrong side. It’s ok for now but isn’t wind supposed to be out of west north west eventually?
