First Time Attending App Game - Advice
Hey folks, my wife and I decided to spend a long weekend in the Boone area and noticed App State has a home game Saturday (12/2/17). We have decided to attend and cheer on the Mountaineers.
A few questions regarding game day experience:
1) Is there accessible parking available without a parking pass?
2) Are tickets readily available? As in, are there typically people selling at the tailgate areas?
3) Anything cool you recommend us checking out during the tailgate / game?
I appreciate the help!!

1) over around king st is the best bet I'd say, private pay lots usually $20.
2) should be able to find them in our ticket exchange forum on here. Or should be people selling around entrances as well. Seems $20-$25 per ticket is normal right now.
They have a special through the main website currently for 4 tickets at $21 each (reserved seats).

"App State Athletics is offering a special Championship Week ticket package to include four tickets for $84 ($21 per ticket) for reserved seats or four tickets for $64 ($16 per ticket) for general admission. Promo codes are 4FOR84 and 4FOR64."

Re: First Time Attending App Game - Advice
If you aren't looking to pay for parking, there is free parking at the big parking lot outside of Watauga Social Services, across from Galileo's. There is a free shuttle that runs from there to Raley Lot, which is one of the main tailgating lots, and close to the stadium. Not a far walk if you don't want to wait for the shuttle. Enjoy!

Re: First Time Attending App Game - Advice
Do you mean Grace Lutheran or is there also an Epicopal church very near by as well. I park at Grace often myself. And is donation based.NewApp wrote: ↑Thu Nov 30, 2017 1:54 pmThe Episcopal Church at the corner of 321 and 421 (East King Street) has parking for a donation of any amount.RaleighNCCCC wrote: ↑Thu Nov 30, 2017 1:18 pmHey folks, my wife and I decided to spend a long weekend in the Boone area and noticed App State has a home game Saturday (12/2/17).

Re: First Time Attending App Game - Advice
That is not the Episcopal Church on that corner. The Episcopal Church is actually behind the one you can see from the highway. I think that may be the Lutheran Church, or maybe Methodist.NewApp wrote: ↑Thu Nov 30, 2017 1:54 pmThe Episcopal Church at the corner of 321 and 421 (East King Street) has parking for a donation of any amount.RaleighNCCCC wrote: ↑Thu Nov 30, 2017 1:18 pmHey folks, my wife and I decided to spend a long weekend in the Boone area and noticed App State has a home game Saturday (12/2/17).

And, the reason I know this is that back in 1979 - 1985, the Episcopal Church (St. Lukes) actually sat on property on what is now the new Education Building. It was about a half a block down & across the street from the Baptist Church. At the time, it was a very small building, large enough to seat about 40 folks squeezed together. I attended some services there. The Rector was Fr. Chuck Blanck. When the church sold the property to ASU, they picked up that entire building & moved it back for use as a chapel to its current location behind that Lutheran - Methodist church, and built a larger building nearby.

Re: First Time Attending App Game - Advice
I second this recommendation. Take the walk and enjoy the environment. I invite you to the Music Lot across the street from Raley. I recommend spot #7.BurlingtonApp wrote: ↑Thu Nov 30, 2017 3:38 pmIf you aren't looking to pay for parking, there is free parking at the big parking lot outside of Watauga Social Services, across from Galileo's.

Re: First Time Attending App Game - Advice
Welcome to App! It's always great to hear of new visitors to The Rock. We hope you'll become a regular. Bring a blanket or warmer layers of clothes, some gloves. Our football weather in Boone NC is great but you want to enjoy it in comfort! Make sure to watch/follow the Marching Mountaineers march through the Stadium Tailgate lot about 1:40 and be in your seats for the Pregame show at 2:05. App has adopted the same policy many college and professional venues has. There is a CLEAR BAG POLICY which limits the size of bags and purses that are allowed in the stadium. Go to Appstatesports.com if you have questions.
Lots of good food in town, I personally like Peppers which has been around for 40 years. AND--you game ticket gets you in FREE for the Saturday night men's hoops tilt against the South Florida Bulls. Hoops tipoff is 7 pm.
Have a great time! Go Apps!!

Re: First Time Attending App Game - Advice
My wife loves the Jean Lawson at Pepper's. 40th Anniversary was last spring I believe (or was it two springs ago?) Either way, good food, local establishment, and owned by App alums.
My dad loved the French Onion Soup.
Mushrooms are a good APPetizer.
Man, I wish I could have Pepper's this weekend.

They're catering the Yosef Club room this weekend. Don't know what they'll have, but they're providing the food.McLeansvilleAppFan wrote: ↑Thu Nov 30, 2017 8:16 pmMy wife loves the Jean Lawson at Pepper's. 40th Anniversary was last spring I believe (or was it two springs ago?)

They allow tailgating also. We Lutherans don't get uptight about folks having a few beers.
