PSAC Tailgating

It's not the case.

Yes, PASSHE campuses as state property are technically dry. But most schools have posted tailgating policies. Some explicitly forbid alcohol. But most also are designed to prevent the Penn State craziness.

If you want to crack open one or two in a parking lot before the game you shouldn't have a problem. If you want to smoke a pig, bump music, and jump through folding tables you'll be shut down anywhere.

Seton Hill plays on a local high school field so that's a big no for having a beer before the game.

That irritates the crap out of both SH fans.

I think the difference for Penn State is the revenue. It's a lot easier to overlook the bad when they're making so much on tailgating fees. Edinboro lacks a policy but as long as you're not causing a problem and clean up after yourself you're fine.

I'd start with the WCU Alumni Association and/or the AD asking to rethink the policy so that its more reflective of other PASSHE schools. I think most administrators think tailgating and see craziness because that's all they know. They have to trust adults to be responsible adults.

There are three categories that are about equal: policy with alcohol, policy without alcohol, no policy.

My satellite view of RAM STADIUM doesn't seem to show much in the way of parking space except Lots B,C and K which don't look huge. What am I missing ?

110 percent with you on that. Every PSAC school I've seen is scared to death of that one person in 100 who will question a few beers in the parking lot.
