I think I'm gonna head that way myself. I wouldn't mind getting hammered, so I may have to rent a room as well.
I've only been to the SG twice. Each time we got there shortly before it started....
So, do people tailgate for it?

Oh yeah they tailgate! You have to get there real early these days to get into the lot though.

Noted. We'll be there. Dragging the girlfriend with (although she'll probably be as pumped as me). If she isn't, I'll make the hike myself.

It's become quite an event, last year they had the lots blocked off early. I don't know if they just count cars and block them off, or if you have to reserve a spot. Worth looking into.
The last couple of years I've taken the kids and parked in a neighborhood, then walked in and met my daughter who walked from her dorm. Good times!

Yep, they sure do. We take our sons (7&10) and do the locker room tour and flag football game prior to the spring game. We also head out friday morning and go to the Braylon Edwards charity game. My youngest boy is named braylon and he got to me B.E. last year and it was awesome.

Debated going myself. It seems like I have seen mixed reactions from it. The scrimmage itself has become less and less like a real game. Of course you do not want anyone to get injured. I have also heard that with all of the people it's hard to see some of the bigger names and get autographs etc. The lines are supposed to be pretty crazy.
Wolverdog-Sounds like you have gone the last few years. What do you think of it?
