When do tailgate lots open on Saturday?

[AppStateNews]

When do the tailgate lots open on Saturday? I know they typically "open" at 9, but with it being a later game, I was thinking it might be later.

I have a meeting on campus in the morning and will just grab my spot then if the lot is open..

[T-Dog]

I can't imagine it being anything other than 9 am and I can'[t find anything that says otherwise, but an e-mail doesn't hurt.

I don't remember a change for a late Saturday game, only for Friday ones.

I think the lots open at the same time, however (see #8):
4.12 Consumption of Alcohol 1.Only malt beverages and unfortified wine may be possessed or consumed. Spirituous liquor(including mixed drinks) is not permitted.
2.Kegs and other common containers are not allowed at any time.
3.Glass containers are not allowed.
4.Drinking games, including but not limited to beer pong, and the use of devices intended to accelerate the consumption of alcohol, including but not limited to funnels or beer bongs, are prohibited.
5.Any participant who consumes alcoholic beverages at such events must be able to produce a valid driver’s license or other photo ID that reflects the person’s age upon request.
6.Consumption of alcoholic beverages is prohibited on any other part of the campus or on public streets that run through or are adjacent to the campus.
7.Alcohol consumption will not be permitted in any area during or after the event.
8.Consumption of alcoholic beverages may begin no more than three and half (3 ½) hours before the starting time of the event. Consumption of alcoholic beverages after commencement of the event is prohibited.

We don't serve alcohol at our tailgate since so many of the kids coming by are under age. I don't want that kind of responsibility. Plus, I can spend more money on good beef if I'm not spending it on alcohol.

It appears from everything I've seen that #1 is rarely enforced ... only malt beverages and unfortified wine? Really?

I emailed the Yosef Club about a week ago asking if there was a problem getting to my spot at about 10:30. The response I got said they knew of no opening time for tailgating. However, to address an earlier post, I would expect Boone's Finest to be out looking for those who might be having too much fun with alcoholic beverages. Do NOT walk on sidewalks with beer in hand. It's an inverse invitation to sit yourself down in jail for the day.

my wine is always fortified...i keep it hidden in a fort like structure between the cooler and the grill....

AS with many things in life, discretion is key...

I'm pretty sure you can show up at any time. We will be in Duncan around 4am cooking a pig, but the 3 1/2 hr alcohol policy will be enforced for sure. One of the campus officers came by our tailgate last year in Duncan and threw his weight around. It could have been done in a different manner, but he made it clear to EVERYONE in Duncan the 3 1/2 hour rule.

Have fun and lets bring home a WIN!!!!!

I'll be making a stop by Biscuitville on the way up the mountain for breakfast, and will re-use (be green) the cup as a place holder for my beverage of choice.

More importantly, what time do the students have to have their cars out of the stadium lot?

[strongwxnc]

The pay lot our group parks at open before 8 am. We usually arrive around 7:30 to kick the day off !
Go APP!!'

I do remember someone in our tailgate crew getting ticketed for pouring liquor from the trunk of their car. An undercover ALE (or whatever they are called) officer happened to notice this act. It was one of the night games, can't remember which. So beware.

[bruceh]

You are correct. Got one myself several years ago so all be careful. A margarita was made in the back of my expedition and I was ticketed.

There's no way they will be able to enforce that after 12. Mixed drinks in solo cups from 9-11, then cracking brews.

I've made a campaign of identifying ALE officers, taking photos of them and walking up to every student tailgate in Raley and warning them about the danger. I give a description, show the photo, and give a last known location and direction of movement. The ALE is the main culprit of Boone being over policed. They are a shameless organization of police academy rejects, bent on destroying our gameday experience. I'll be damned if I let those fascists meet their quota at the expense of the App State college/gameday experience.

Hey Gonzo. What do you REALLY think about ALE officers?

Right on Gonzo, I mean public safety is important and we all know some people can get stupid when alcohol is involved especially if they were already stupid to begin with, but these ALE officers have a chip on their shoulders and they just harass our fans and students. Just to parallel our ALE officers to the officers of another school, when I was a senior in high school back in the early 90's I went with some friends to an ECU game. Some of us in our group were over 21 and some of us like me were not. We were tailgating in one of the parking lots of ECU's stadium and we had a keg. My solo cup was full of this frothy beverage of course and as I was enjoying myself I looked up and saw a uniformed police officer on a horse headed our way. I tried to act cool but I was freaking out inside. The officer came right up to our spot, dismounted his horse and walked right up to me. I was about to crap myself when he opened his mouth and said "Do you have an extra cup for me?". I said "heck yeah bro!" and he sat and drank with us for a few moments never asking us our age, because none of us were causing any trouble. Now that's a cool officer. I just think our campus police need a little more tolerance.

Just got an email from Appalachian State Athletics saying the lots open at 11am.

I agree. And this comes from someone with 23 year experience dealing with this. There is a correct way and wrong way. Some of the campus police officers do it the wrong way..
