    Looking to partake in the festivities outside the bars between the games on Friday afternoon (the nicer of the two days).

    Im ashamed to have seen the tailgaters, but never put it into action for my group. That changes this go round.

    Any veteran advice appreciated.
    I know the lot by the Dairy Queen is where the GPL (Gopher Puck Live) crew party.

          I've perused the GPL forum (its kind of like sneaking behind enemy lines for a SCSU fan, like myself) and I'm thinking that sounds like fun, but I am afraid the rest of my group might not be ready for such a...well...experience among an inebriated and potentially hostile crowd (we are 7 SCSU fans and one Gopher fan). I'll probably check out the scene on Thursday afternoon.

          I know I remember seeing some smaller tailgates setup somewhere between the history museum and the X, but I'm not exactly sure where. A more relaxed atmosphere would probably be a plus.

              There will be other SCSU fans there. Don't worry, we won't kill you.

                    I would just like to point out that no one has beaten the absolute sh^t out of me in the five years I've gone. No one has even tried. And I was even a ringleader in decapitating and running over a stuffed Goldy last year. So yeah, nothing will happen to you.

                        And if ANYBODY would have gotten a beating over the years, it would be Dirty.

                          There's probably some truth to that

                          Correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm almost positive the UND Alumni Association does their Pregame parties in the tent adjacent to McGovern's.

                            Holy Jesus, the tickets for Friday night are going for like 150 bucks apiece on stubhub and craigslist for lower level. Has anyone seen them that high for even championship games?
