Delaware Game Tailgate?

So the link says that registration is $ 35.00/person. Nowhere on that site does it say what you get for your $ 35.00. Or, am I missing something?

Don't forget, Delaware is big for Blue Shell Crabs. For those that are staying after the game. The Blue Crab Grill is probably the best that's close to UD. We are staying with family a little further south so Gus' Crab Shack or Kelly's Tavern at Port Penn near the river or a couple in Delaware City Like Kathy's Crab House. No frill joints.
Edit: Woody's Crab House across the line in MD. Not too far from Newark in North East, MD.

The Sons will be there in Delaware! Will be tailgating. Look for our flags - no idea lots or what their setup is yet. All UConn fans are welcome to stop by!

Any idea where y’all will be? We have a parking pass for the ice arena, would love to set up near you guys.

That's curious wording.
Does access to food mean it'll be within sight but must be purchased?
Or are those the food items included with the one drink?

Not yet, no. But would love to tailgate with some fellow UConn fans!

Amtrak to/from Newark, DE station, < 1 mile to/from Delaware Stadium. Easy walk, sidewalks & parking to stadium.

First year, FBS-level Blue Hens’ 1st ever home game with FBS opponent. Likely sell out.

Trap game.

Trap game.

UConn focused on 12 noon ET kickoff in Syracuse.
Delaware flying to DEN, then on to Boulder for 3:30 MT (5:30 pm ET) kickoff, then schlepping back to DEN, on to likely PHL. If not chartering, only direct commercial Sat night flights, Frontier midnight MY redeyes. Or, connections via CLT, IAD, etc.

Beat citrus!

We are meeting family from the Philly area several of whom are UD alums. We will peacefully break bread together before the game.

Just as a side not, the Delaware Athletic Dept called my daughter to ask her if she needed any information, recommended parking ( said park in the Hen lots. The others aren’t worth the money!). Even sent a list of restaurants for getting a post game meal. Quite a different approach from UConn’s How much money do you have? Give it to us! LOL

I received an email from UD regarding parking. Single game reserved parking spots go from $60 to $150. Quite a bit more expensive than UConn.

Guess that nobody complains that 84% of their AD revs come from institutional support or they would be asking. how much money you have, give it to us on roughly half our budget.

You can find parking a lot cheaper at small lots surrounding the stadium (e.g. St. Paul’s Lutheran Church). You can also park in some of the UD lots further out where there is some transport to stadium. I’m a UConn alum living in Delaware with a UD alum husband. We had UD season tickets for more than 30 yrs. It really is pretty easy to park. There is also a lot of easy parking at the Star complex across the street (old Chrysler plant).

There is a parking thread on the UD message board, The Roost, that addresses this somewhat also.

When I bought the game tickets I paid $20 for one of the first come first serve parking in one of the lots that appear to be just a few minutes walk to the stadium, but yeah the reserved parking seemed high.

I just bought a $20 space today. Looks to be about 500 yards to the stadium.
