TAILGATING 2011

Where are we going to be this year????!!!

Despite Tech's plan to build a new tail field house through the middle of our tailgating spot (how dare they), we still should be ok for this year. Here is a look at the planned project. Almost half of the $20 million has already been raised...

For this year at least, you can find our tailgating spot at the far end of the Student Side (East) seating in the corner by the field house and tennis courts.  Look for the Alumni Band banner.

Tailgating will be from 11:30-1:30.

We will need to be eating about noon.

Tailgating will cost you a mere $5 per person (kids age 3 and under free). This price has not increased in a decade! 

The main course BBQ sandwiches, potato salad, chips, drink, and Alumni Band Cake!  We are expecting quite a turnout!
