Tailgating 2007 Season

[airmail]

I have an update from my post in the Alerus Game Day thread, we purchased our tailgating spaces yesterday at the Alerus. They're ready if you want them, go get 'em.

Here's my info from that post:

Is I understand it, the Herald was visiting the Al today to discuss this very subject. Look for something in print soon.

But if you can't wait, here's what I know:

30 bucks a spot, yes a 9' typical parking spot. After you sign up, (date to be published, I guess?) you choose your spots on the "parking lot chart." For our group, I'm guessing we'll need 4 or 5 spots, so it will end up being 120-150 bucks. This, however, is for the whole season, and your spot is reserved for the whole season. Like season tickets, except for campers, lawn chairs, and tasty libations.

"Away team" tailgaters will have un-reserved spots available, I'm guessing at the south end of all the reserved spots. I don't have any real details on this, other than something will be made available. I suppose there will be some sort of nominal fee for tailgating for 1 game? I dunno.

When I first heard all this, I thought WTF... but if we get all the people in our group to chip in, it will end up being 30-40 bucks for each family... an amount I can live with for the season.

Oh yeah... If we host playoffs, your reserved tailgate spot will be there waiting for you with no additional fees.

I'm not sure if the $5 vehicle parking goes on top of this or not, I would guess yes. Those finer points are sure to be brought to light from our fine friends at the Heraldo.
