Tailgate Warning Order

Lots of updates coming and the first tailgate info will be posted soon. Here's some housekeeping items.

1. If you plan on attending a couple or more games this season it is very helpful if you sign up for Chris's eInvite by emailing her at chriscarleton@hotmail.com. By doing so, and then by accepting the invite each game and putting down if you're bringing sides, donating and not bringing, etc it really helps us manage how much beer and food to buy so we're not stuck with a ton of extra.

2. We're expecting a ton of people this year as UC has sold over 22,000 season tickets and the friends of friends list of people attending our tailgate has grown to immeasurable amounts. Everyone is always welcome: friends of yours, family, visiting fans, etc. Since I'm asked every year we'll publish recommended donation amounts for those coming. Nothing is mandatory, but help is greatly appreciated. Besides the kegs and a large portion of the food, our tailgate spots cost us triple what we paid last year. Winning has it's price I suppose, but suffice to say we won't turn down assistance. This is as good a time as any to thank the few supporters of mine who give above and beyond to help me afford my spot, without their assistance I simply couldn't do this. Thank you.

3. We're going to attempt to have everything at our tailgate you could need. Beer on tap, grill food, serving stuff, tables, chairs, footballs, cornhole, TV's, heaters, etc. About the only thing we need are sides to compliment the meal. If/when you bring something I recommend a throw away container that you won't miss when we head to the game. There is so much stuff, and we realize you're parking far away, we'll have it all and what you bring is best if you don't mind losing it in the shuffle.

4. The Tailgate. We've already got one Noon game. We're bound to have more. Besides setting up early, we plan on partying after the game as well if the weather holds. Plan on making a day out of it if you want. We paid for it, we're going to use it!

I'll probably update the first tailgate info sometime this weekend or shortly thereafter. We're 10 days from the season opener and 17 from the home opener! Let me know if you have any questions and go CATS!
