Hi folks - I still stop by as the best training camp info is always here. I can share some information on what's up with tailgating.
It's true that about 325 tailgating spots are gone. Since there weren't that many to begin with, this is a pretty substantial loss. The map posted by Jimmy shows last year's lots. The Touchdown (largest lot) and Kickoff lots are now gone due to new construction. Tailgaters who bought in those lots last year have been told that they can use Lot 53. However, Lot 53 is first come, first serve. As you can imagine, there are some unhappy people. Some put a lot of effort into tailgating so not knowing if you're even going to have a spot is not cool.
Mike or Jimmy - let's talk about your get together. I already renewed my spot in the purple lot. Since the Bucs game is just the second home game, I'd planned on using it. But I tailgate with a group and we have 2 other spots. So just *maybe* we can work something out. No certainties as I'd need to figure out some logistics.
Take care all.
Edited again because I don't know about any tailgating lots other than what has been communicated by the Vikings (Purple, Gold, Quarterback and Lot 53)
