What time do the lots open? How is the parking situation?
What is the alcohol policy? Do the cops hassle you?

I usually attend Pitt, which is always a headache because they don't open the lots until 1-2pm. Stopped going to Camden due to cops constantly hassling people about drinking and putting up canopies.

Really just looking for a venue that has early lot openings and don't bother you about tailgating once your inside.

Lots open by 10 or 11a
Plenty of parking overseen by clueless teen attendants
Alcohol in plain cups/containers is generally overlooked; this can be negated by azzhat behavior
Police are friendly; this can be negated by azzhat behavior

Great tailgate, tons of sights to see, always, without fail, an amazing time.

And I'm a newb, wait until the oldsters come along and school me.

Great Woods is a bucket list Bubba venue. I wish I was going this year, went the last three years. So many wonderful BN peeps. A great time. We will return!

You'll want to be at the parking lot in front of Shaws, Cork's, Home Depot by 10 or so to join the caravan going in where it will be determined whether you are a "live" or a "dead" car Then you can be present in the lot for our opening shot of either tequila or vanilla rum when the festivities start.

Thanks. We would definitely be in the live category. Our tailgate has a six year streak going of making it on the jumbotron for CILCIA or Margaritaville.tv!

It has been suggested that we should be separated,Dave.Apparently,there was a bottle neck in our lane due to the lines for paint and the lines for food.
