Tailgating Policy Email

Our group has talked about these issues countless times over the past several years.
One thing we wish would happen is for all the aisles to each lot be open, not just one. This encourages people to stay in the aisle when they're driving rather than cut across lanes to get to a spot. It also discourages groups from going to the end of the an aisle (next to the main driveway that's closedwith a barricade) and parking across from each other and claiming all the aisle space for their own.
If you drive in an "up" lane, you should be able to drive "down" the next one without getting stuck because the exit is blocked. You should be able to drive out, and come in a different aisle to find a spot.
We know the result of changing the free access because we all can't be nice to our tailgate neighbors is assigned parking spots OR you park in the order you arrive. If that happens, they should eliminate the walkways and adjacent cross-hatched spaces to make it fair for all. I just don't want that to happen.

People just need to respect each other. Those there early need to be ready to allow folks to open spots and those arriving later need to be patient and allow those folks to move not just plow thru.
Not sure what is more annoying..
Group who takes up way more spots than they have passes and makes it hard to drive through...
or
Guy who arrives 40 minutes before kick and tries navigating through the parking lot to park a little closer after he drives past several open spots...

That's on said guy's wife. I guarantee it.
With UNI and Iowa the first 2 games, I think JP is trying to set clear expectations to avoid problems.
IMO they should alow people to park in any isle within their assigned paved lot up to 2 or 3 hours before game time. Allowing those who arrive early to park t
together or along the perimeter of the lots to grab green space.
After that window the parking guys should start pushing all cars down the isle closest to Jack Trice, fill that isle and then move to the next isle. This would allow people to have their tailgates fill into the isle without impeding car traffic.

K-state has a clear "must stay clear" line painted and it helps keep things opened.
I agree with other posters, wish folks could just be kind and reasonable. You have a long box, extended cab pickup....you can't then tack on a seating/tent area behind it and act annoyed you have to move so car can pull through.
