247 Tailgate: April 21st PSU vs. The World

  • @tmaluchnik said...

    You can pretty much just sit anywhere. Walk around and find a spot. Get in a little early if you want prime seats, though I usually just go in around start time and usually sit wherever on an end sit at one of the end seats and enjoy the game.

    Thanks. I'm bringing my baby and she needs room to play and climb. I didnt want to get stuck in a sardine tin with her like at real games.

  • Im late to this thread, but 2 of my friends are turning 30 and will be doing it HUUUUUGE. Food, tons of booze, live DJ... Not joking. Crazy party rock style tailgate... Gauging interest. But I will be sure to stop by the 247 tailgate too. Just had to throw it out there to see who was interested. Forewarning its not a tailgate for kids lol its hardcore partying and craziness... Our Bama tailgate was legendary... I should try to post some of the FB videos. I think attendance was in the 100s... Sheer craziness. The DJ sets it over the top, and then there was the pulled pork and chicken from Clems mmmmm

    The only thing I would recommend if you have children is if it is really sunny or raining you actually have to go in kinda early for seats under the upper deck overhangs. They are the 'hot spots' or prime seats when it is really sunny (for shade) or raining (for cover obviously).

    As far as good seats, I have sat about everywhere (general locations) in the stadium, and have enjoyed them all for one reason or another. :)

  • Will be picking spot options tomorrow or monday and will try to have a map again to post and obviously basic directions.

    Will finalize the spot when we get within a couple days so the weather reports are at least a little bit more "accurate"(tough to even type accurate and weather report in the same sentence without chuckling haha)

    Thanks for the tips. My season tickets are in ED and the sun can be brutal. the field looks purple to me sometimes.

  • Got a couple spot options lined up, will post a Map around Wednesday with what will likely be the final spot. It is numbered so that will help, and I will give general directions as well if needed. 6700 range of the purple lot on game days.

    Also, if anyone else is bringing food or drink chime in and I will update that through the week as well. Not looking for anyone to wheel in a portable freezer full of stuff or anything. Tub of Amish mac salad or potato salad, store bought fine? Maybe some chips in dip. Hot dogs, buns. pasta salad. Picnic/simple stuff. Sorry we arent doing Steak and Lobster for Blue White weekend as of now. :) Its not an obligation, and it is understandable if you unable for whatever reason. Small things build up as people bring them is all

    We will have canopies(sp?) in case of rain and concrete to avoid slop and wet. Will also put it in a location that if, God willing, we have dry weather, there is grassy areas right there also for the kids that show to toss a football around and people to lounge in if desired lol.

    Any questions, ask, I will answer as I can of course

    Cmon people, stop by and say hello at the least. Good times to put faces to the names and get some solid football discussion times in.

  • As the weather reports keep coming in, I will finalize a spot.

    As of now they will be in the purple section for sure. Just off left field of the Spikes field for one side. Joe's Statue side as well.

    Spots I am looking at making it right now are 6726 or 6790 or 6780 or 8756/8758 areas. Really depends on the weather projection. They are all the same general location however.

    Now, the first map is where the 8700 spot would be. Grass area if the weather is nice that has always had little traffic going through, which makes it a great place for the youngsters some may/will bring to be able to run around

    The second map is if there is still a solid chance of rain. It is on pavement, but there is also some grass areas as well to snag up, and a solid sized triangle area with plenty of room for kids should we expect rain, but be pleasantly surprised, for the kids to release the endless energy young ones seem to have.

  • Does anyone know if Jeff Culley#29 and Devin Pryor#16 are still on the team? Reason I ask is that those are the jersey numbers my kids use and I thought it would be cool if they got their autographs if possible.

  • I'm going to try and make it. I'm really bad at finding tailgates though.

  • Count me in as a maybe. I'm going to the pig roast event in East Halls the morning of with my THON org. But I'll try to stop by and spend some time with you guys if I can.
    Would rather be with fellow diehards.

    PS-14, I don't know about Pryor, but a few weeks ago I saw Jeff Cully on campus with the football tags on his bookbag. Not sure if he still is on the team and practicing/working out though but I would assume he still is.

    Where do you come in/park at? Can give you easy dirctions.

    Basically if you come down Curtain Road (where the player buses have always rolled up/by the gift shop/store), heading towards the ball field. Then just continue right down the left field side of the ball field it is right in the parking lot along side it. Very easy to find, and the spots are numbered. Find one number and work from there. There will be signage, and I may be able to give other descriptions and make it easier as well.
