Pre-Concert tailgating concensus for Indy

Hey guys,
First time at the Indy Venue, heard the bad news about no tailgating at the venue. Also heard possible tailgating sites are the campground and hotel triangle near Cip. From those phriends who have been to this venue a couple of times, what have u observed to be the spot to set up for the pre-game? Thanx -olemiss-

Last year cip had a party the afternoon of the concert......complete with Jimmy himself. I haven't seen anything about it this year but I'm sure they will have something.

"Complete with Jimmy" isn't the best description- he walked through and left as quickly as he could. But it was a fairly decent party (especially considering there was a really heavy downpour in the middle of the afternoon). From what we've heard, they're doing the same thing as last year for both shows (tent party, packages with tickets, bus, hotel, CiP stuff and a gift certificate). I think the package was $500 per couple last year.

The campground is ok, but some of us were charged per car, others per person (same charge per person as per car). The campground that's close is Sleepy Bear, I think the website is www.sleepybear.com. Their port a johns were already disgusting when we got there at 1.
