Argument for Dumping halftime tailgating!

...you guys are aware...
...that the second half mojo...
...comes from the halftime exodus...

... :party: ...
 
How about free beer inside the stadium during halftime? I'm sure I'm not the only one totally on board with this idea. :lol: :lol: :lol:

are you daft? so because i'm missing 5 minutes or less of the 3rd quarter, somehow in your eyes, im "obviously not a fan of the grizzlies?" i'm a fan of the entire thing. i pay for my tickets (no....not "hundreds" of dollars, either), so i can enjoy whatever the hell component of the game experience i want. it has zero effect on you.

You're in denial....that's fine. It's part of the process. It's about respect, doing the right thing, stepping up. :)

Or maybe not everyone sees attending a Griz as some kind of test of loyalty. Maybe its just a football game that they see as a form of entertainment or just about any other couple of dozens of reasons that they might attend. Being incredibly loyal and focused is a wonderful thing but not everyone is going to feel that way. As long as they pay to attend, why do you care why they are there? Frankly once the 3rd quarter starts I completely forget about anyone else and focus on the game. Sometime later Iook up and the stands are automagically full again and I don't have a single clue when it happened. Do yourself a favor. Forget about the stuff you can't control and be the awesome fan you are. Its a great time to be a Griz!
 
If someone wants to purchase a ticket and miss every single 3rd qtr to socialize and have a few drinks, that is their choice. If you chose to be in your seat, that is your choice. This entire thread is fukcing stupid....
 
So, let's take a page from Hollywood. Import 10,000 hotties from LA, and just like the seat fillers at the Oscars fill in seats when celebs go onstage or take a tinkle, they can fill our seats when we go to halftime tail gate. Seats are full all third quarter, and bars downtown are filled with hotties after the game. Somebody get a talent agency on the line.

Very much agree. I've been to 95%+ of all WGS games since it opened. Stayed in stadium for the half lots of times, went out to the tailgates more often. Try my best to get back for 2nd half kickoff but last week noticed 14:54 as I walked in the NEZ gates. By the time I got to seats might have missed another play or two.

So guess I'm obviously not a fan too.....seems kinda weird because I always thought I was and most of my friends and relatives would consider me a pretty big fan. Can only hope to someday be the fan "ordigger" is.

Agreed, but that separates it from a whole bunch of eGriz threads because.........?
 
As I really don't give a rats ass whether the tailgaters come back at all, and never looked around to see if particular areas of WGS had more aluminum than others, are certain areas better represented in the tailgate areas than others? People in my area are generally in their seats for the second half kickoff. I remember the area between the 20s as pretty sparce.
 
I honestly cannot believe people still bitch about this. It has to be at least 10-12 years in a row now.

shucks, when you put it like that, i guess you're right. hopefully before the next game i can turn my life around, step up and do the right thing and.....get to my seat 5 minutes earlier....
 
Seriously folks, it is not that tough to get back in the stadium for the second half kickoff! They shoot the cannon off at 5 minutes, that is easily enough time to pound the rest of your beer and get to your seat.
 
Question for Oredigger. When the Griz and Diggers are both at home, and kickoff is at the same time or within an hour or so of each other, are you sitting in Alumni Coliseum or Wa Griz?? Just wondering?

Who said it was tough?

Well we could just issue fines for those who leave. Structure it like a speeding ticket;

Missing first 3 minutes of 3rd Qt. $25
Missing first 5 minutes of 3rd Qt. $45
Missing first 10 minutes of 3rd... $100
Not returning to seat (ala So Dakota St playoff) $500 and loss of Griz gear.

Fines go to Grizzly Athletics so after about 3 years they'll have funds to build damn near anything they wish.
I like this a lot.
 
Re-entry to Wa-Griz is great for fans, the fact that any fans have a problem with it is baffling to me.

I think we should just fine people $30 each time they biatch about people not getting back to their seats in a timely fashion after halftime... :thumb:
