Curious if they are sticking to their rediculous "no tailgating for a night game  in the stadium lots until 5 hours before kickoff" rule for tonight's game, or if they kind of turned a blind eye today, considering the magnitude of the game.  All I know is I've had more than my fair share of battles with them over the years on said topic.

This is part of the email HCC sent me the other day regarding the start of classes this week. Not sure what TSA's official position is, but HCC isn't stupid.

Dear Colleagues:

 

     On Monday, January 9, 2017, Tampa will host the National College Football Championship Game (NCFCG) at Raymond James Stadium. This will be the first NCFCG for Tampa, and only the third NCFCG in the country. The prior two NCFCG’s have been massive, all-day, multi-venue events (even though kick-off is set for 8:30 p.m.). It’s not the Super Bowl, but it’s close. The Tampa Sports Authority is preparing for 70,000 attendees. The City of Tampa is considering road closures around Raymond James Stadium.

 

     HCC reopens after its Winter Break on Monday, January 9, 2017, for the Spring Term (attached). With the NCFCG at Raymond James Stadium on that day, it will be impossible for the Dale Mabry Campus to conduct normal business operations. As such, the Dale Mabry Campus will remain closed on Monday, January 9, 2017, to reopen on Tuesday, January 10, 2017. All of the other Campuses and the District Offices will reopen on Monday, January 9, 2017. Only the Dale Mabry Campus will remain closed on Monday, January 9, 2017.

When we start putting 70k butts in seats, I imagine they'll relax their position a bit.

I would imagine the difference may be that ESPN rented the stadium for a few days so they can have their fanfest and use it for shows.

Fanfest was at the convention center. They're spreading the wealth around town.

Okay, but there are activities at the stadium today.  My point is that it was rented for more than just the game.

Just a guess, but I'm sure the RV lots have been open since Friday?

I take that back.  Looks like overnight for RV's was not allowed.
