North (Library) lot parking & tailgate question

anyone parked or tailgated this season with the hang tag-less system?

In past seasons, the trick for the best spots (in any lot but especially Stadium) was to get there after they towed but before security showed up to control access to the lot until it “opened”. For example, if the lot opened at 8, you could roll in at 6 before security showed up at 6.30 or 7

Any tips or tricks for this year, and specifically for the North (née, Library) lot? We have several passes and hoping to get spots adjacent to grassy areas not mid-lot.

Thank in advance - helpful replies are all invited to tailgate!!


No great advice

The guys I know who have had a tailgate in the same spot every year for decades now have done several different things. First few games, they set up their tent (put half way up) and a table at their normal tailgating spot. That was frowned upon, so now they go and get in line fairly early to get in the lot (6:30ish) with at least one other guy who hikes the tent in and sets it up where they always tailgate.

They have had security present to prevent people from entering the lot as early as 5. Security has spoken to the guys and told them not to leave stuff out early.

If you get to the lot early enough, you can park wherever you want. No guarantee you'll get adjacent spots, but hopefully close to where you want to be. After that, they do zipper parking.
