I was wondering about that. If they close it at kickoff but have a whole half to do the tear down, that is time not spent cheering on the home team. It would be interesting to see how it works for them. Are fans in their seats at kickoff? The close proximity of the area to the field is nice. I know we have a big problem getting people from Qlot into their seats and on their feet for kickoff.dshenaut wrote:Per MSU website:sealhall74 wrote:MSU has an interesting "tailgating" area called Bearfest Village where no tailgates are allowed. It is located at one end of the stadium. People can reserve space there and bring tents, tables, and whatever makes them happy. You pull your vehicle up, unload your stuff, find your spot and setup. Securing a good spot there probably means you can watch the game from your tailgate spot. Probably a very strong temptation to never enter the stadium and find a seat. Does not seem to do much for their homefield advantage IMO. There are other lots around where they do traditional vehicle tailgating.

CAN I TAILGATE DURING THE GAME?
No. BearFest Village will close at KICK OFF
of each game. All alcohol consumption must
end at that time.
IMHO opinion, the Bison have the best policy. Close it down a half hour before game starts. No excuses for not being in your seat.
