Well I need something to entertain me while this week drags on. Let's see your tailgate setups.

I will have mine posted here in a bit.
 
I guess I will try and get this started after @josh4cy sent me some more pics.

Don't worry I have matching rims, just like the other side. These were the original ones.

In 2011 I built a bus and it worked great, but we decided to make our setup easier. Kind of stole this idea from other trailers we had seen online and just built it to our needs from there. There are 4 total TV's that all have access to the satellite and antenna. Full sound inside and out with (8) 6x9's and (8) 6" round on the outside and (2) 6x9's and (2) 6" on the inside. As mentioned the back door on the passenger side has a Wii and DVD player for the little ones. My brother in law, @josh4cy wired it all up like a camper so there is a converter on the inside to allow for 12V and 110. It was a long journey, but we pretty much have it dialed in for this weekends game. Go Cyclones!
 
Nothing to share but a related question. Has anyone seen how many folks got moved from their lot from last year to a new lot this year? I got moved from A2 to B3 and I'm at the Cardinal level.
 
I feel so inadequate

Honestly I started out of the back of my 1994 Buick when I was in college. Then I moved up to my truck after college. In 2011 I found an amazing deal on a bus and jumped on it. All we had was tailgating games and a stereo. After the Iowa game in 2011, when I couldn't get the old tripod to work, I went with the autotunning satellite and then slowly added from there. This past year we just realized that setup was taking way to long and with the bus being a 1996 maintenance was starting to become a concern. I got this trailer out of KC for a really good deal and built it, with the help of others.

If anyone is interested in some of the stuff that we have learned over the years, feel free to ask.

Oh and we park in Vet Med, got bumped form the RV lot, so feel free to stop by and enjoy.

BTW - This setup isn't only used for tailgating. We have used it for many other things in the past. Heck we just used it last weekend to watch the UFC fights. It was great.
 
New updates for this year, I moved from DIRECTV to Dish Network so will be able to get HD signal in the lots. We also got a bar height folding table. We run a 47 inch tv with 4 alpine boat speakers. Plenty of fun for a day out in the lots.

I like the graphics! Also, would like to see pics of the bar height folding tables.

I hate to switch from DIRECTV to Dish, but that might be my move in the future if Direct actually follows thru and goes away with Standard Definition.

A3 is $1000 - $500 according to the map. But your ranking as a Cardinal would put the Gold’s and possibly other Cardinals ahead of you in selection.

B3’s minimum is $500 and again ranking comes into play
 
Those are some nice set ups. We have tent 7 with a Kybo. Too lazy to find a picture. Most games haul in a smoker and trailer with TV.

I would call it a winner, but I don't think there are enough monitors/TVs.

Do you know how many games there are on at 1 time. We have 2 Sat boxes behind the big TV's so we can watch 2 different games. Then the other 2 TV's can either mirror those or go to over the air channels off the Antenna. The back one has the DVD/Wii option. In our bus, we had 2 TV's as well, but we had to haul them in and out all the time and then set them up. We have had a few broken ones over the years as well.
