Hi everyone, I’m a new season ticket holder and got a few passes for season long tailgating.  I am somewhat new at this but does anyone have any suggestions for materials I will need? I think I need some sorry of a tent and I’m thinking a 10x10.  Is that the right side for the alerus parking lot? And then what do people suggest for a flag pole to hold two flags? Thanks everyone for the help and I look forward to meeting some of you!

It's probably less than half that have tents.  We don't use one unless rain is expected.  It can get pretty windy in GF so tents can be a problem on some days unless you have a good one.

I got a telescoping flagpole on Amazon that holds two flags and it works pretty well.

I love tailgating but agree that less than half have tents. Basically, many park their vehicle to block the wind and set up from there. Frankly, just do a good tour of the others and make your decisions from there.

Take your time, see what others have and go from there. Also, try to by higher quality stuff right away, otherwise you'll be replacing in short order (lesson learned).

I doubt it.  Last year we showed up early and drove right in.  We were there before the guys checking passes were, so we ended up bringing our passes to them once they were set up.

I'm sure you probably saw that somebody this posted on the other thread...but thought I'd paste it here too just in case you missed it.  Sounds like they are moving some things around, overall sounds like some good improvements for this year.

Tents can be nice for shade on hot days an possible rain. If you get used to setting up a tent and get a good system to hold it down I’d say it’s worth it to have. A grill and cooler and table/bar make life always better. Throw in some games to play and it’s a great time. Here is the rig we use, works awesome.

I've leaned against that rig while drinking a beer before....;)
