New rules this season for you rabid tailgaters!

New rules for tailgaters to greet UGA football fans
March 23, 2006

Visiting Bulldog fans will face new tailgating and parking restrictions at University of Georgia home football games beginning this fall.

UGA President Michael Adams' cabinet Thursday approved a set of nine gameday policy changes that include parking and tailgating restrictions, creating "family-friendly zones" and providing more portable toilets and trash cans.

The new policies would prohibit tailgaters from parking on sidewalks and grassy areas, tailgating set-ups before 7 a.m. on game Saturdays and unauthorized use of electric and cable hook-ups for TVs and satellites.

Tailgaters wary as UGA throws flag
April 2, 2006

Bryan Bufford, a 2005 University of Georgia grad, has a "faithful following" of 50 or so fellow barbecuing Bulldogs who are proud of their special tailgating spot that is both shady and a short walk to Sanford Stadium.

"We have to get there really early to reserve a spot," said Bufford, of Watkinsville, adding that he takes off work early on a Friday to stake out his usual space.

Bufford was relieved at news that UGA will restrict tailgating set-ups before 7 a.m. on Saturdays starting this fall, but like the tens of thousands of other visiting fans, he has no idea whether re-vamped tailgating will be better, worse - or just somewhere else, come September.
