Attention BULLS!!! USF/Notre Dame tailgate LOCATION CHANGE AGAIN.

New Address is: 18443 Bulla Rd South Bend , IN 46637. DO NOT GO TO THE LOT BEFORE 7am Sept 3rd!!!!

We had to move to this location due to overly aggressive fans bothering the other lot's owners to park early because our tailgate was going to be a huge outta control party. New lot is bigger and closer. Hope to see you all there and GO BULLS! Help us get the word out!!!

The same crew that put on a huge tailgate at Miami and the massive memorable tailgate at the Meineke Car Care Bowl will be at it again as our USF Bulls take on the Notre Dame Fighting Irish!

Hopefully this will be a hell of a tailgate to remember as USF beats ND... just like we stomped on FSU and UM, you don't want to miss it if USF notches a marquee victory over a ranked ND team on the way to Big East glory!!

There are tailgates... put on by Athletics and the Chicago USF alumni chapter tailgate, but they're a tad costly at $85 or more. For the rest of us who but want to party it up mad crazy Bulls style on the cheaper side and invade Notre Dame Stadium en masse for the pregame festivities among tons of other USF fans, this is THE OFFICIAL UNOFFICIAL USF TAILGATE!!

We're bringing a loaded U-haul with a generator, DJ equipment to keep the party jammin loud, a huge double-decker grill, coolers with a large amount of drinks, food (menu below), beerpong tables, and more. Look for 5-6 USF tents, a 25-foot blow-up Rocky, two 8-foot Rockys, and a 12-foot USF flagpole like at Clemson, thanks to Craig at Bulls Outfitter. Bring your A-game as the beerpong and flipcup figures to be intense; first game of beerpong - 8:01am! We also ask for a $5-$10 voluntary donation to help us offset all the costs, but hopefully that will be more than worth it as this tailgate goes down in history as the day we watched our USF Bulls crush helmets with Notre Dame!!

Also, please don't shy away from bringing drinks, whatever you want to eat, etc. We want to make this a group/potluck tailgate... we are getting it started with all the basics, but we're trying to kickstart Bulls Nation into putting together a big party here before the game.

Hope to see ya'll there, and GO BULLS!!!! Big ups to Craig Brunstein and Bulls Outfitter, Matt Geren & Family, Brandon Faza, the Alumni Association for helpin out, and everyone who has been involved in gettin this thing together!

**LOCATION CHANGE!!! We are setting up at HUGE lot at 18250 Dunn Rd, South Bend, IN 46637. We rented the entire lot!! We will have two white 20' x 10' tents in addition to our USF tents, our own PORTER POTTY (yes drunk ppl, no walk to pee, haha), and a TON of room to play and party. The lot is actually a CLOSER walk to the stadium than the golf lot!! We have to give up being actually on the campus in the thick of the ND fans, but if it rains, they're going to shut the golf lot down, and then we'd be totally SOL so this lot guarantees us a party. We'll let about fifteen cars into the lot, and leave the rest of the room for the event. The lots around this area will charge $10-$20 to park, and as long as you get there some time in the morning, no problem parking! Look for the 25 foot Rocky on the corner of Dunn and Willis and the USF tents. Tailgate starts at 8:30am, we're setting up 7am - 8:30am. Feel free to come early, park, and help us set up!

***TIME: 8:30am-3:00pm tailgate, kickoff is at 3:30pm. Start parking with us as early as 7am.

***LOCATION: 18250 Dunn Rd, South Bend, IN 46637. Look for 5-6 USF tents, a 25-foot blow-up Rocky, and a 12-foot USF flagpole! Details above.

***MENU: Hot Dogs, Hamburgers, Bratwurst, Grilled Chicken, Baked Beans, Potato Salad, Chips, Beer, Wine, Water, Soda. Thanks to the Gerens!!!

Is this at the Burke golf course or the Warren golf course?

[HappyHourHero]

Damnit! If only I got word of this 2 weeks ago before getting my Chicago tailgate tickets. Oh well, as long as were all ready for what goes on in the stadium.

BULLSPEN!! Very excited to party with ya'll up in South Bend, and can't wait to get this season kicked off. Thank you Brittany for posting this! Hopefully folks will be able to meet up and swell this tailgate to epic proportions.

CoolRod, we are planning to meet super early in the morning to caravan into the Burke course, probably Burke North, in order to park near Holy Cross Drive as close to the stadium as possible in that lot.

HappyHourHero, sorry we hadn't begun throwing this together a few weeks ago... we recognized that outside of the two expensive tailgates, we hadn't heard about any bigger fan tailgates, and decided we'd bring our skills to the table, haha. It's all for the USF Nation. Lookin forward to it!! See ya'll there, and GO BULLS!!

hmm quite interesting

[ajusf16]

Ok looks like my group is a fan of this, is there a link to donate too or just cash on game day?  We have 8, let us know what we can bring to assist

[SkypointBull]

Burke. The one on the SW corner of the campus.

Good luck with your tailgate!  I'd love to be there.  Sounds like a blast.  My brother tailgates at all the ND games on the other side of campus by the baseball fields, so I'll be there.  See ya in South Bend!!

Go Bulls!! 

[StateRoad42]

FAZA!  We'll see you guys there.  My Father-in-law and I will be at the game and have been looking for somewhere to tailgate for a little bit before the game.  We won't be going crazy but definitely want to visit with a few USF fans.
