To start out I have to say that I am very appreciative of everything that every group does down there ...but...

I can't help but feeling like there is just something being missed out on....

Obviously I am biased...but I think OU has one of the best locations in all of collegiate sports to tailgate...right along a BEAUTIFUL Hocking river landscape (not some metropolitan Cityscape/parking lot) and this can go for both football and basketball...

But every time I am down there..whether tonight or a weekend game..I feel like I could drive a MAC truck through it without anyone noticing...

Surely there must be a way to get more things down there for families kids and students to do (and yes I did just call you surely)

I for one would love to see more campus oriented events there through on campus clubs or residence life events....and yeah I know the students have a sponsored area on the other side of the stadium...but does anyone else think its weird to have the 2 "tailgates" seperated??

Sorry if this has been posted before.

I tend to agree...have one spot for ALL the tailgaters and make it a big time environment.  Why break it up?

I don't think a beer garden would work.  I have never been to a cheap beer garden and 2/3 of our students are under 21.  Tailgreat Park is built for folks with cars and requires a season parking pass.  Tailgreat could be improved by allowing more folks in the lot.  The cornhole section takes up 4 times as much space as it should.  nobody uses the open green areas for anything.  They have done a great job making it family friendly with all the inflatables, too.  I just wish they would put more people in there.
