Per the AJC:
Tents can come back at North Campus. Slightly bigger tables are also allowed – up to six feet long. And the celebrating can start earlier, five hours before kickoff instead of the four. But fans still can’t bring grills.
So less driving around town trying to find a place to park and more of this

How do you know it’s noon on Saturday? Georgia is kicking off. For the fifth time in seven games this season, UGA will kickoff around noon against Vandy on Saturday. This might seem like par for the course at a Big 10 school, but it’s definitely an unusual circumstance for an SEC team given the TV package. Combined with the basic outlawing of tailgating on North Campus, you’re almost lead to believe that Michael Adams corroborated with the SEC Offices and television networks to end Georgia tailgating once and for all.
The Red Black weighed in with their eulogy for Athens Tailgating before last week’s game
Tailgating in Athens had been on life support for the past year. With the decision to ban many of the most essential tailgating accessories from the University’s North Campus, the phenomenon was already in a crisis. Most saw tailgating fading fast, but nothing substantial was done to prevent the calamity.
It only took one last straw to flatline our beloved Saturday companion. It came all too fast.
If Michael Adams and the rest of the administration put tailgating on life support, Mark Richt and his 1-4 football team pulled the plug.

We’re a little behind on seeing this story, but apparently the scarcity of gameday parking in Athens is raising tempers before the season even starts. With the ban of real tailgating on North Campus, fans are left to look for new areas to set up their tents, grills, and tvs. One option would seemingly be for fraternity alumni to park at their old house. The Alpha Epsilon Pi House sits relatively close to Sanford Stadium on River Rd. To deal with the new demand for parking the current brothers sent an announcement out to alumni notifying them that the house “will be charging $20 for individual games and $105.00 for the entire season parking pass. It will be first come first serve by who gets their money back to me first”. A certain alum took issue with this.
Would you explain what gives you the right to charge the alumni money to park at the frat house that was ours before it was yours? Are you trying to blatantly fuck us over? Or do you sincerely think we are stupid enough say, “Hey! That’s a swell deal you got there!”
And really that was probably the tamest part of the letter. So you have the outraged Alum who drops some disturbing references vs. the ungrateful current brothers who also leaked the story to Deadspin (you should read the whole thing). You could probably throw blame either way, but I think we all realize that Michael Adams is the real enemy.

If you haven’t seen it yet, check out Chad Gibbs’ look at the last decade of the . It’s pretty damn funny and nostalgic. Chad also has a new book out called Check out a taste of the link below

We’ve added a new page that has Numerical & Alphabetical Rosters for every team in the SEC. I went through each school’s media guide and trimmed it down to just the roster. They are in the .pdf format and can either be downloaded and printed, or loaded on your phone for when you’re tailgating or inside the stadium. The link for the rosters will stay in the right hand column of every page on the site. If this is something people like, we’ll do it for the other conferences as well.
