Cowboys Stadium Tailgating

[SeattleOUstudent]

Were you at the game last night? We have "tailgate" parking passes but were wondering how that went for anyone at the game last night....or if you have some inside knowledge of what they are doing about those spots.

maybe some of you season ticket holders know?:pop:

[boomersooner28]

Oooh, this reminds me. I know a dude that lives in Dallas and he said he heard that TAILGATING WAS NOT ALLOWED AT THE NEW STADIUM. :confused:

He has to be wrong....I hope.

ANYONE?

[Crucifax Autumn]

That would be really stupid.

[Curly Bill]

I thought I heard they were allowing it, but only in designated areas.

I don't really know though.

[Crucifax Autumn]

Probably a scam to sell more of those pizzas.

[Curly Bill]

Probably a scam to sell more of those pizzas.

Least they're only $60 (:rolleyes: ). There for a while peeps were thinking they were $90.

:D

[Soonerus]

For OU/byu...Tailgating in Lot 14...RV's can arrive anytime after 5:00 on Wednesday and must leave by Sunday at 5:00...

[Crucifax Autumn]

Least they're only $60 (:rolleyes: ). There for a while peeps were thinking they were $90.

:D


So what you're saying is they opted to sell Totino's instead?

[Curly Bill]

So what you're saying is they opted to sell Totino's instead?

Whatever they sell they were $60 last year too. It was funny how quickly Cow officials were to correct the erroneous report of $90 pizzas, as if $60 pizzas were much better. :D

[Crucifax Autumn]

They are making up for it by charging 30 bucks for a napkin.

[JLEW1818]

I got a tailgating pass, of course there will be tailgating allowed, in tailgating lots.. there are a couple..

if something ****s up, i **** Jerry up.. not hard ... either way I'll be happy

[goingoneight]

Salt packets are an additional $25.00... a piece.

[OUHOMER]

we plan on tailgating inside the back of our truck. I read somewhere. except in the tailgating area, no chairs or coolers on the ground.

So we will set inside the pickup bed

[boomersooner28]

Fwk. "Tailgating area?" which is prolly 2 miles from my $40 parking spot. CHIT

[JLEW1818]

I'm in lot 13, which is tailgating

[boomersooner28]

Im in 13! Woot!

[GrapevineSooner]

Least they're only $60 (:rolleyes: ). There for a while peeps were thinking they were $90.

:D

All because of a lazy bugeater journalist that also complained about the possibility that Cowboys Stadium would be a permanent site for the Big 12 CCG.

His rationale was that the game needed to be played in KC every once and awhile.

Lot 14 looks close enough for RV's....

[yukonsooner]

I've got a tailgaing pass for Lot 11; however, if you read the conditions for tailgating it says that it is only in designated areas, and it will first come first served. So it sounds like if you don't get there early you're out of luck.

[JLEW1818]

mine has a spot number or something... i think?

[JLEW1818]

I probably rolling in at one or so

[yukonsooner]

Any idea what time the parking lots will open?

[JLEW1818]

idk but they need to send a damn email out... I'm already sick of Jerry

Cowboys Stadium Tailgating
Tailgating is permitted in designated tailgating spaces only. These spaces are located on the perimeter of each parking lot and have a grass area immediately behind the vehicle parking spot. There are tailgating spaces in lots 4, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14 and 15, and the spaces are filled on a first come/first served basis. If interested in tailgating, it is important to arrive early to obtain one of the designated spaces. For more information on tailgating, including all tailgating guidelines, visit http://stadium.dallascowboys.com. Please be sure to review all of the tailgating guidelines if you intend on tailgate.

Just called the stadium, don't know how accurate this info is, they didn't know the time of the OU/BYU kickoff, but told me that if it was 6 the parking lots wouldn't be open until 4

[JLEW1818]

wtf?

no way they don't open till 4, I'd say 2 at the latest, those people on the phone were worthless ... lol

[JLEW1818]

Here are the rules for tailgating at Cowboys Stadium:

•Tailgating is allowed in designated spaces on the perimeter of each parking lot. These spaces have a grass area right behind the parking space.

•The spaces are first-come, first-served.

•Parking spaces are for vehicles only. Driving lanes must remain clear at all times. Items such as coolers, tents, tables or chairs may not be placed on the ground behind, in front of or around parked vehicles. They are allowed only in designated spaces.

•All recreational vehicles longer than 19 feet must park in Lot 14 and must have an oversized vehicle parking pass.

[JLEW1818]

Oklahoma tailgating = lot 13

BYU tailgating = lot 11

Tailgating = lot 14

[NormanPride]

I'm really tempted to show up early and just tailgate all day - I normally don't do that. I don't want to deal with parking near game time, for one thing, and I'm really looking forward to a few games that day so I'd like to see as much of them as possible.

Any on here that would be willing to let me bum off of their satellite in exchange for a six-pack of something? :D

[soonersam]

Jerry doesnt want you drinking .50 per can miller lites you bought at the store in his parking lot all day!!

But whe he doesnt understand is that I need to be really boozed up to drop 9.75 per beer inside!!!

Catch 22

[yukonsooner]

Lot 11 is BYU, but I would say 90% of the people I know that are tailgating from my area are in Lot 11. I really don't see BYU bringing too many tailgaters.

[JLEW1818]

it's going down in 13... I'm sure an email will be sent out next Monday.. my guess its the gates will open between noon and 2 pm

[cjames317]

Do Mormons tailgate? I've been to a few Utah and BYU games at TCU and didn't see any.

Not gonna brag about your ticket win?

:D

[IslandSooner]

So, like does the laws in texas, let us kinda wander around drinking Rum from a un-marked plastic cup or is this illegal? I have been in the Carribean for a while?

[SeattleOUstudent]

Ill be in lot 14. Watch out mormons!

[JLEW1818]

Not gonna brag about your ticket win?

:D

he probably still doesn't know! lol

[cjames317]

I WON! Takes care of my son's birthday present.

Thanks TicketCity and SoonerFans.com. Where people really do win.

[BrockLanders]

I'ms in lot 14 also. I'm not bringing a satellite or TV but will have plenty of beers assorted spirits and mixers. Anyone going to have a TV in 14 that I could watch in exchange for drunkness?

[Gresho Murford]

i will be in 14. No TV though. I was about to buy a tailgating pass until it said in fine print that it is first come/first serve. Why the hell would I pay an extra $10 if I am not guaranteed a spot to tailgate?

[JLEW1818]

wonder how many tailgate spots vs non tailgate spots there are


I'm gonna check it out the night before

[JLEW1818]

I emailed them and asked what time they open

[tfoolry]

They've had soccer games @ stadium & I think the whole city of Arlington turned into a tailgate lot. I wouldn't worry about anyone telling you to pour your beer out or get your chair off the grass.

[JLEW1818]

good call

[yukonsooner]

I just found another number and called the stadium and actually got to talk to someone that sounded knowledgable. He said the lots will open 5 hours prior to kickoff. I asked about the first come first serve tailgating passes. He stated that if you bought a tailgate pass you will have a tailgate spot. The earlier you get there the closer to the stadium you will be. The only thing I found questionable was I asked how many tailgating spots were in Lot 11 and he said he would guess about 1000. Hopefully this is accurate info

i'm getting drunk

[Skoch]

Quick note on Beer prices since I saw it mentioned earlier. I was at the stadium today for a tour and they have all of the menus up. Looks like Miller Light is the only option and it's $8 for those 16 oz plastic bottles. Some locations have MGD 64 for $9. Hot Dogs are $4 and most sandwiches are $8 to $9. A bottle of water is $5 and a soft drink is $6.

Good news for tailgaters, there is a Walmart directly across the street from the stadium (as in closer than most parking lots) so you'll have plenty of access to extra beer, food, etc. I'm wondering if they'll be selling any passes to park there?...

[PhiDeltBeers]

Section 11...just bought my pass today. $30 isn't too bad.

[yukonsooner]

I'm in Lot 11 too. It's a BYU lot, but I don't think we'll be outnumbered by any means.

[JLEW1818]

I'm in 13, yall can come over

[StoopTroup]

Remember to take your cameras. I want pics of Mormons drinking.

TIA

ST

[JLEW1818]

I'm gonna come up with some creative things that weekend

[TAFBSooner]

Any creative ideas on parking outside the stadium property, or other ways of avoiding turning over another $30 to Jerry:texan: ?

Good theory, however, I think those prices are just the prices for when the tour is in operation. Im pretty sure They will be 10-20% higher for football games.

Walmart will not allow parking, not even for RV's, I checked with their manager...

[colleyvillesooner]

Any of the lots have places to dump coals/ashes.

[Soonerus]

I do not think so...

[OU GENO]

We have 6 parking passes in lot 11! Are you ready for some FOOTBALL!

[OKLA21FAN]

Walmart will not allow parking, not even for RV's, I checked with their manager...

and even for Ranger games this lot is patrolled very closely and if you are seen walking away from Walmart to either stadium. you vehicle will be towed

[soonerx]

We asked our tour guides when we were there a couple weeks ago and they said they had made an agreement with that Wal-Mart to reserve a certain portion of their parking spots only on game days. Not sure if that applies to college games, though.

They weren't selling anything during our tour, those are suppose to be the actual game day prices.

[yukonsooner]

If you're staying at a hotel within 5 miles of the stadium, most of them offer a shuttle to the stadium.

I wonder how much their rates go up on game weekends :D

No charge if your staying at the local hotels. But they are not very dependable.

[soonerx]

I meant the actual hotel room rate.

[yukonsooner]

I booked a hotel a mile from the stadium as soon as we knew we were going to play (like that day) I'm paying $104 a night. My daughter tried to get a room at the same hotel about a month ago and the rate was $239 a night. So they go up a great deal.

I figured as much. So technically you are paying for the shuttle service ;).
