[cecilB]

Admirable

Bison fans... Grab breakfast and drinks down town. You will be closer than IC Weat HA. Or, get closer to the action

 

[KuwaitHawk]

Too bad it is not the west lot at West High

 

[BondHawk]

Odd that a high school will allow all-out tailgating in its parking lots. But by all means, enjoy!

 

[Gridiron24]

...wait

You're tailgating at West High? Very odd. At least you'll be on Melrose Avenue!

 

[Lakesbison]

The real true NDSU Playaz like myself will be on melrose , hitting some house party & making out with your ladiez..

 

[EpenesaEpenesa]

Some advice for walking to Kinnick from ICW. Once you hit Melrose out of the lot, start walking west.

 

[20Hawkeye14]

Odd they would want to tailgate so far away from the real tailgating.

....because the ladies in North Dakota smell funny and eat too much. The winters are a harsh up there on the northern plains so the girls pack on the fat early.

 

[Lakesbison]

Nu2u what u got against the booty bouncing?

 

[Slappy Pappy]

Now I get it. Games against P5 teams are the closest thing to a bowl game these guys get.

Are we suppose to be impressed? We see this scene but only bigger at every home game.

You weren't wowed by the one bus out in the pasture?

 

[Ree4]

Its only the biggest game in their programs history!

 

[Stavross]

Tailgating at a high school two miles from the stadium? Come on guys, you can do better than that. At least make it past Mormon Trek.

Wow, that's really not impressive.

 

[LarryMullenJr.]

It's like the Griswold's; park near the exit so you don't get stuck in traffic. Of course they have the entire 4th quarter to walk back to their family trucksters.

They rented the parking lot from West High. West is happy to take their $$.

 

[Ree4]

They needed a place that was close in football talent and color scheme to set up their tailgate Im guessing
