Fellow 'Cats:
While attending the Texas State game, I did not have the opportunity to check out the new End Zone Pavilion setup. I intend to do so at the Gardner Webb game if it seems worthwhile. Can anyone who was there offer some opinions on what your impressions were of it? I checked out the Tailgreat setup and came away less than impressed. I thought there would be handfuls of tv's tuned to various games being played throughout the country. Does the pavilion have tv's, and if so, how many? Any impressions ( such as food selection etc.) will be appreciated.
I am just trying to decide if my guest and I should bother taking the time to go there or if our tailgating experience will be better spent elsewhere. Thanks for your help.

I went in there. It had two or three TVs with games going. Beer (including Jackie O's!!) was selling for I think $4 a can, and they had an assortment of simple stadium fare for sale. The negative was the heat. Despite being shaded by the tent, the tent also served as a heat trap. It was like a sweat lodge in there during the first game. They tried to open some tent flaps, but it was still a good 10 degrees warmer in the tent than out of it. Overall, I like it and appreciate the effort, but it does need some fine tuning.

Is there a cost for admission to the tent?

The only thing you need to enter the Hospitality Tent at the Convo is an active Bobcat Club membership. You are also permitted/encouraged to bring non BC members in with you. They have 2 or 3 tvs going and a good selection of food and drinks is available for purchase at a reasonable price.

Are they still in a cash-only mode for this venue? I wasn't in it for the home opener, but last year, that's what we encountered.

Thanks Alan. We will check it out Saturday and follow up on here. If there are any other impressions/opinions, I am listening.

Thanks Panda for your input. Was there any prefgame/tailgate atmosphere, or was it a boring crowd?

Good seeing you there. The no lines part is great.
