How does one get a tailgating spot?

Specifically, is it possible to get one next to the stadium? Where do you go to apply, etc?

Any help from long time ABers appreciated! (if I do end up getting this spot, feel free to stop by for a beer!)

The Gold Lot (Franklin Field) is high dollar donor lot and last I had heard has a waiting list.

Parking Info

These #'s are in addition to what ever required donation you pay with your season tickets.
 
not sure what it's like with the new building, but the Law School was pretty much first come/first serve from 00-06 when i lived nearby--i think you paid a spot fee to get in. you saw opposing teams fans with RV's and such there in addition to Buffs, for instance.

Our tailgate spot is on Franklin Field and runs about $1500/ year. Last time I heard there was a wait list of 150+ and there hasn't been any turnover in years.

The thing that is really sad is that there are some people that just use it as a parking space. They roll in right before the game and are put off that there are people in the way.

if there is a wait list of 150 with no turn over tells me prices need to go up.
 
Just wait till a car gets a little too close and then SLAM on your breaks! :thumbsup:
 
Zone F is hopefully not so bad.

Zone F is where the allbuffs tailgate is located. It's a pretty good location, and reasonably priced. It's a hellified bitch to get in there and back out again, but show up early and wait until the crowds thin out and it's all good.

If you would try to drive forward when you leave it might go faster.:rolleyes:
 
well if this works out I would enjoy being able to run between the two tailgates :smile2:
 
Snow, I'd tell your group to get on it. Zone F is going to fill up fast becasue of the work being done in near Zone G, where the new UMC is going. There's going to be a shortage of parking this tailgating season.

There's a NEW UMC being built? whaaa? :confused:
 
basically ya. "student center" dorm/UMC/cafeteria/parking on the old parking lots behind willard.

Yup. It's gonna hold all the services that are currently in Willard, which will make room for more dorm rooms. This is career services, gender, transgender, lesbian services etc. No dorm rooms in it tho. A parking garage below will replace the current one the're tearing down:

Oh, well, sure. That makes so much sense because, you know, it's got to be at least a good 200 yards away from the current student center. :rolleyes:
 
I was really surprised at the amount of construction going on at CU when I stopped by for the Spring Game.

I figured that from the day I stepped foot on the CU campus for the first time as a student in August 1986, to the day I received my diploma, there was some kind of construction taking place on campus ever single day. Most of it was additions to existing buildings like the performing arts building and the chem building. The pace of new construction projects up there never ceases to amaze me.

it does make some sense. the school is using dorms for office space as slider mentioned. I don't know why they don't move all that stuff that doesn't NEED to be on campus off... I hate how all the open space is going away, and there are precious few places to tailgate as is since we can't go on to the quad. etc.

Yup. The Center for Community (new UMC) is $84 million and the Visual Arts Center currently under construction is somewhere in that range I believe. A new biochem or some science building is in the planning stage ($150 millions:wow:) The campus is getting crowded with buildings. Link to C4C and other campus projects:

Open space is wasted space on a university campus. You want open space? Go to Rocky Flats. There's a ton of it there. Just watch out for the 3-eyed gophers.

on 6 or 7 days per year, it sure as hell isn't wasted! and universities shouldn't be nothing but buildings. Places like the Quad and Farrand are awesome!
