A tailgate-loving Bulldog fan passed along the new gameday regulations that Georgia officials have implemented, and expects there to be quite a bit of outrage with the hub of tailgating getting all but shutdown.
With the goal to “enhance the gameday experience for everyone,” Georgia will be banning tents, kegs, generators, TVs, loud music, grills, tables, and furniture from North Campus.
(Basically everything.)
Having spent a Saturday on North Campus in the midst of professional tailgaters and drinkers, I can assure you this is a big deal. I expect the goal was for their to be absolutely zero people on North Campus during football games, because when I was there, all I saw were tents, kegs, generators, TVs, full bands, grills, tables, and couches and recliners. (And this was all more than four hours before the game started...)
The school’s goal is to protect “the historical assets of the University campus,” and I’m sure they’ll cut down on the number of obliterated dudes with incredible bangs flopping on their foreheads drinking whiskey from a red Solo cup in North Campus. But if they think they’re going to cut down on excessive drinking that occurs before a football game, they’ve got another thing coming to it.
