New Tailgating Policy

I don't see it as a problem... it's a good thing when any lot is "full." It's about time.
Also, it's never full when we arrive 5 hours before kickoff.
The painted lines are a weak attempt to shrink the area you can tailgate in. We parked within the lines and could barely open the doors on pickups parked parallel to each other.
It is most definitely a problem. If u have a blue lot pass it shouldn't be full before you arrive.
 
The yellow coats directing traffic have gotten lazy the past couple years in blue lot… they are letting people leave a lot of open parking space between cars.

Look at all the open grass in those first few rows of that picture; they could fit a lot more vehicles in there with a little effort.

Sure there should be some guidelines, but tight spaces for parking? There needs to be extra space for people to move and the space is available. If you can't accomodate tailgating you won't have that "problem" because people won't show up. I guess we'll see how this is implemented.
 
From what I’ve observed the last few years, the issue is not how much room most people are taking for tailgating. The issue is how far apart cars are parking, which is a direct result of no longer having attendants waving you into a particular space and making sure there is not too much space between cars. How much space groups use for tailgating doesn’t determine how many cars you can get into a lot — how far apart the park does. Not once since they’ve opened the Rent have I seen an issue with too may tailgates too close together and someone not having room.
Of course it does. Groups tailgating together aren't always able to park side by side and can't necessarily fit behind a single tight space. Some attendees need the extra room and some don't. This needs to be explained?
 
All: If we are complaining about the lots filling up, I think Jim Mora is doing a great job getting people coming to the Rent. Think about it, is is better to complain about trying to find a parking space, or being able to drive into a spot 10 after kickoff?

Personally, I'd rather complain about finding a parking space...Now, I'd have to fly to Bradley and find a way of getting to The Rent before I worry about parking... 😀

It IS a problem because people pay extra for a blue lot pass.
 
Okay… what’s the hot wash on the new policy experience in the Blue Lot today?
It was actually perfect. We arrived at rope drop and were able to pick our row of spots. Tailgates behind with plenty of room. As the day went by they filled in the blanks without issue.
 
Major issue with the new policy, the parking spaces are, at best, only 8 ft wide. Tailgating tents are 10x10, as has always been allowed at The Rent. The spaces need to be wider to allow for adequate tailgating within each designated space without overlapping into the next spot.
