I think this is asinine and ridiculous.  This bother anybody else out there?  Does this rule apply to all lots, including the mall lot?  How about for Bucs games?  Is this getting to be the trend at other stadiums as well?  Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So as smazza would say "Thank a lawyer." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're in Lot 7 and although we didn't tailgate for last game, they were starting that BS last year. We just stopped when thay said stop and picked it up when they left ................. I realize they have a job to do but still ...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YOU ARE RIGHT, IT IS PART OF TRADITION. A FEW PEOPLE WHO ARE TOO OLD TO THROW OR CATCH MUST HAVE COMPLAINED. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is written into law! Just try to stop your SUV a few feet short so you can open the hatch and watch them have a COW! Just wait till they leave and have a good time!P.S. Someone from USF came up to talk to us at the TTU game. He said for lot 6d(?) (general parking off himes) for futrure games they would only park people under the trees for the first hour the lot was open. After that we would have to park in the sun. It had to do with some sort of safety issue when the lot got crowded.ALSO- He said the lot is only open for three hours due to funding with the parking crew. It costs more money after three hours. I for one would be willing to pay a few more bucks for another hour or two of tailgating! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fact that they do not share the revenue with USF had them on thin ice to begin with....truthfully, I would only park at the stadium when the little lady made me.But this is it. NEVER AGAIN!!! There are plenty of other places to park around the stadium where the money will actually go do people who need it AND look, I can even throw football with my son....Bunch of Jerks!
