If they actually said that it shows how out of touch they are. Groups that tailgate together buy multiple sites for tents, trailers, buses, etc. There might be 5 or 10 or more people\families affiliated with one tailgate setup. If they put up a tent, or haul a trailer, they obviously need a spot to park the vehicle that hauled those things. If you have 10 or more people bringing food, beverages, games, chairs, flags, etc. to tailgate as part of that group, they obviously want - and have historically paid for nearby separate sites to park their vehicles close to their particular tailgate setup. Yes, the many parked cars could appear to be "non tailgaters" but if they are parked many hours before game time, they are likely part of a tailgate group. Plus, why should UND or the Alerus care about your intentions for purchasing a spot? Shouldn't that be the goal? A full lot of paid for spots? Their logic is baffling. I think its going to have the opposite effect and make some think twice about purchasing spots, and possibly game tickets.
