These new rules are ridiculous! I agree with the one vehicle per spot, but cutting down on sidewalk parking and not parking on grass is senseless. I am a student who lives off campus and have always been able to park in the University Health Center lot and walk to the stadium from there. Now, since there is no where for everyone who parks on the sidewalk, there will not be enough room for all these cars in this lot, and I know it’s the same case all across campus. Is Michael Adams trying to drive away as many fans as possible by making parking on campus nearly impossible?

Simple solution. Cut @2.5 mil out of Saturdays’ game day revenues. Don’t go spend money in Athens or at Sanford stadium. If 25% of the fans would do this, UGA, Sanford Stadium & the city of Athens would lose about 2.5 mil in revenue/game based on each fan spending $100.00/game. Tailgating is part of UGA football, it’s part a UGA fans life. If they want to take something away from US that is important then let US take something away from THEM - $$$$$$$$$$$.

President Adams is the worst thing to happen to UGA in 200 years. He is a liberal Ivy leage wannabe and has begun a campaign of turning UGA into a university that represents what HE wants it to be instead of what the State of Georgia IS. If he has his way there will be no football at UGA, only diversity classes and forums.

Adams is a fool if he thinks the trash and damage is due to parking on the grass. North campus was covered in trash and most of the people carried their supplies to their TG spot from their car. If I don’t have a place to park I guess I will quit donating and give up my tickets. It was difficult to find a space last year, and then a long hike to my seats.

Mike Adams has done more for UGA than just waste money on worthless architectural studies and Puerto Rican land. Who could ever forget when he put his wife on the payroll or put that $10,000 breakfast for his son on UGA’s tab (until he got caught). Good ol’ Mike fired Dooley when the man deserved to take a year or two longer to ride off into the sunset. Mike is supposed to have a communications degree but the man can’t delegate and just manages to make consistently unpopular decisions that don’t need to be made. Did I mention that he earns an outrageous amount of money and is one of the highest paid university presidents. Every time a UGA fundraiser calls I tell them to make sure that they put the reason that I won’t give a penny is Mike Adams. If UGA were a company, the shareholders would have run Mike out years ago. While we’re at it, get rid of that creepy Regent Leeburn too.

We wouldn’t have to park on the grass if there was available parking and a way to get to and from the game from the parking area. Adams cannot slam the parking without providing an alternative. Would he prefer that I make my donations and buy my tickets and then stay home because I can’t park (well, duh, I guess he would).

I am a graduate of UGA, a former UGA employee, and a resident of Athens. I am a homeowner and a taxpayer. And guess what — I hate game days.

I hate the crowded streets, the drunk idiots everywhere, the cars parked all over sidewalks and lawns. I hate the pervasive stench of entitlement that wafts from the tailgaters and frat boys as they stumble and scream through my city’s streets.

I hate that I have to plan my weekends around game days, as though it is some sort of hurricane or other natural disater. Stock up on food and don’t leave the house on Saturday, that’s the way it is.

I hate that friends of mine, full grown adults far from their college years, have been jumped and beaten by drunken football fans. And I hate that all of you expect us to eat this sh*t with a smile on our faces.

It is obvious by the comments here that nobody seems to appreciate that Athens is a city with full-time residents, some of whom care little for football games. To you it is just Party City, and damn anyone who dare try to get in the way of your precious, selfish fun. Oh, Lord, what a horrible thing to not park on the grass! Oh, God forbid that you can’t start partying at 7am.

Luckily, after many years, I am leaving Athens. And I will be more than happy to leave you people beind. I like to tip a few back now and then, but if you really think that there’s nothing finer than a drunk, obnoxious Dawg fan, then you’re a complete idiot. Athens is all yours, you inbred drunks.

The dirty little secret is that the Athens Police and Campus Cops are overwhelmed on game day and cannot possibly enforce these rules. Adams has no concept of tailgating and just wants to push fans farther and farther out into the boondocks. I haven’t given UGA a dime in the past three years and will not until Adams is gone. Not another SEC school has such asinine rules, nor does another SEC school have a president who has no concept of the importance of football for the total health of the university.

HateGameDays is right, you know. Athens is intolerable on game days. Yes, those days may only make up a small percentage of the whole year, but how many times do you have to jump puddles of vomit for it to become unpleasant?

The university as an institution is shut down on those weekends. The libraries will close because of the drunk fans who push inside to urinate. (At least those drunk fans try to do it in private. Not all are so polite.) The university shuttle is not operational, presumably to avoid cars parked illegally in the street.

And all of that isn’t as bad as what happens on Monday mornings. Bleary eyed kids mumbling excuses for why their presentations aren’t finished? It’s a common occurrence. You wouldn’t believe how many grandmothers get sick and need their grandkids’ TLC on game weekends. I don’t.

Before you write me off as some socially dysfunctional nerd, just keep in mind that I just came to UGA to get an education. I’m teaching here to pay for that education, so I see it from both sides. After seeing the frivolity that is game day, though, I understand why people who can choose to go elsewhere DO.

Thats why he made shady dealings behind Dooleys back. Get the SOB out of my town. We can find another great fundraiser who is not so pompous. Tailgating is part of college football or at least it used to be. Bill, it can only get more dangerous as people have to walk further to their cars and subject themselves to more motorists.

I too am a graduate of UGA and an Athens resident. Gamedays, traffic, fans, all of these things are as much a part of living in Athens and going to UGA as the arts scene, downtown, and music. While the scenarios that HateGameDays describes certainly take place, they are seriously exaggerated. Live in an SEC college town, raucous gamedays are what you get. The fun times had by all certainly outweigh the inconveniences suffered by our friend HateGameDays. Hey, if someone yells obscenities at your spouse, either A) turn the other cheek, or B) yell obscenities back. Your choice. Don’t whine about it on the internet. Good thing that he is moving, he will obviously me much happier elsewhere (and won’t be missed).

Remember friends, that not only has Adams made this decision, but also his stable of administrators as well. Email them, phone, or write a letter to express your displeasure. Respectful criticism directed at the source goes much farther than pointless blogging and bickering back and forth with our silly little friend HateGameDays, who most likely is upset most of the time anyway.

I’m an honor grad from UGA; I’m a former employee of the University; I’m a former homeowner in Athens. I left for a better job and would give anything to go back. People like you need to leave. Unless you were born prior to the founding of the University (1785, classes began in 1793) or to the start of football at UGA (1892), you can’t complain…these problems were already there when you moved to town.

How would you like me moving next door to you and saying “you need to move your house b/c it inconveniences my lovely view”? Would you do it? No, b/c it was there prior to me being next door.

Also, what do you think Clarke County and Athens would be like, if the state had decided to place UGA in another city? Do you think it would have a thriving economy and could brag about its low unemployment? Would it be the “Classic City” and have its great culture, music, restaurants? Or would it just be another small, country town no one, other than the residents, care about? You know the answer.

Athens is a college town. Without the 30,000 students to pump the economy and to cause job creation by creating demand for goods & servics; without the University employing thousands of residents in the area, how would Athens survive?

People like you need to get out of what I refer to as “God’s Country” and allow people who truly love Athens for what it is live there. As for me, my wife (also a UGA grad) and I will be in Athens for every home game this fall, and also for every other sporting event we attend…and one day be proud residents of Athens again.

I think that the new regulations are just fine. Please remember that the campus is for the students. We alumni are now visitors and should behave appropriately. Preventing someone from parking on the grass does not mean that they cannot set up their tables, chairs and other regalia on the grass. Indeed, it might be more enjoyable without the presence of so many cars.

As a freshman in the fall of ‘76 I was first appalled at the behaviour of many of the fans. As I got caught up in the excitement of an SEC championship season, I was able to forgive some of the antics (the Alabama game where students were camped out on the railroad tracks and refused to let a train through was probably the funniest).

But having alumni or student’s cars tearing up the lawns is inexcusable. There is no need to bring cars up on the lawns - that’s an extra expense (repairing the lawns) that is unecessary. Sure the program brings in a lot of money, but I feel that the money has better purposes than repairing lawns every other week…

First off let me say that I respect students who are trying to get school work accomplished on game days. The fact though is that these students knew the environment they were going to be a part of when they enrolled at UGA. By the way college is not all about academic education it is also about social education. I enjoy nothing more then spending a beautiful fall Saturday with my closest friends. Even if you are not a football fan tailgating is a great social event. In respect to the new policies the no parking on the grass is ridiculous where do you expect people to park that are not willing to donate another $500 to the athletic association. People are going to have to start leaving tailgates 4 hours before game time to allow for the walk to the game. Also what is the harm in setting up your tent for your tailgate the night before? It lessens the setting up you have to do the day of the game. What harm is done by staking out a spot for the game or even camping out the night before the game so you get a prime spot. Not to mention this policy is going to only worsen the problem of traffic because people are going to have to drop off and pick up tailgating supplies and park there car in whatever parking lot they can find. The cost of fixing grass has to be little compared to Coach Richt’s salary. If we can afford to pay our coach 2 million dollars a year (which he deserves) then kick in a little extra for some grass. These policies will fail. Go DAWGS P.S. Sorry for any spelling or grammar errors I typed this in a hurry in the midst of a study break.

Sorry, guys, welcome to the land of “looking out for the common good.” No tailgating before 7am on gameday would prompt a revolt at LSU.

You have to remember, nobody cares about tailgaters that don’t make it into the stadium (85% of them.) You earn UGA zero revenue by buying ice at the gas station, wings to go (I know you guys don’t cook worth a whit), you only cost them cleanup fees. They don’t care, and never will, until you (tailgaters) turn into a direct revenue source.

Adams is only concerned with the rich fans being able to get to their close parking places. The rest of you need to park out of town, come by bus then leave as soon as the game is over. All he wants from you is your money.

Hopefully you’re moving to Rabun or Floyd county (or some county like these). You can move up to the country away from humanity and enjoy your sheltered life. Goodbye.

I’m an Auburn fan so I almost hate to say this, but I agree with most of the “dawg” fans here. Parking on the sidewalks is a bit of a problem, but not parking in grass and having to wait until 7:00 am is just ridiculous. What really blows my mind is the lame excuse that was given. Is not parking there going to keep angry fans from trashing buildings in a close loss to a rival team? Is not parking there going to keep people from leaving trash wherever they park? NO!! I am usually very good about cleaning up before we head to the game, but if I were ya’ll I’d leave every can, bottle, paper plate, etc I could find just to prove a point.

As far HatesGameDays comments go he/she is the one who is the biggest idiot. You knew it was like that when you made the choice to live there so deal with it.

If you people were as concerned about the quality of education at institutions such as UGA, instead of where you may or may not park during a damn football game, this country’s economic future wouldn’t be in jeopardy.

I am an alumni of UGA, a former Athens resident, and a former employee of UGA. I hope to return to Athens as a resident some day, but in the mean time, I spend as much time there as possible.

I am on campus well before 7AM on game days to set up my tailgating area and enjoy the atmosphere and surroundings. Although I do enjoy a drink from time to time, I have never had a drink either before or during a game—I save that for celebration or drowning my sorrows later.

I also take trash bags with me on football Saturdays and use them appropriately. Sadly, the university cannot provide adequate trash receptacles so too much trash ends up spread across campus.

I travel to several other SEC sites and bowl venues for games and there are many places much worse than Athens on football Saturdays.

Some of our fans are an embarrassment, but I can deal with that. We should be there to be supportive of our team and protective of our campus.

Michael Adams is at the bottom of my list of favorite people for all of the reasons listed above. I, too, have not given any contributions to the general fund for the past few years because of him and his actions and I am sure to let the callers know why I refuse to donate.

I park on the grass and plan to continue to do so. After donating funds for the right to purchase tickets and then purchasing tickets, I refuse to give more money to park, particularly in a space that I used to be able to park in for free because I was willing to get there early enough.

I cannot wait until football season to cheer on the DAWGS and to boo MFA.

By Bill King

March 24, 2006 08:29 AM | Link to this

I just wanted to make one thing clear.

I don’t think it’s OK for fans to tear up the grass on campus. But I think it’s a fact of life when you host 90,000 people for a college football game. And I think repairing some sod occasionally is a small price to pay for what the University gains by having that exposure.

I don’t think it’s right at all for drunken fans to inflict themselves on the citizens of Athens off-campus. But I think these new rules are likely to make that situation worse, not better, by forcing more people into the neighborhoods in search of a place to park.

The problem is not tailgating or cars. The problem is alcohol. And I’m not talking about the folks who share a convivial drink or two before and after a game. I’m talking about those idiots that think it’s fun to get blotto. How they can even remember a game much less enjoy it is beyond me.

Those are just some of the folks I was talking about in an earlier blog the other day — folks that I don’t enjoy sharing Bulldog fandom with.

What’s with this sense of entitlement? Just because you blow your money on Athletic Association donations, it doesn’t mean you own the university or the town. Stop leaving your dirty garbage on the campus. If there isn’t a trash can available, throw the bags in your truck and haul it out. Don’t park on the grass. By all appearances, these seem to be reasonable rules. This probably should have happened a long time ago.

Actually, my friends were minding their own business, riding their bikes home one night (not having gone to the game.) A car full of frat-types drove by, called them f* repeatedly, then jumped out and beat them up. My friends provoked nothing.

My wife has been yelled at while simply walking our dog. Again, she provoked nothing in any of those situations. She’s not someone who desires confrontation. Drunk Dawg fans, though, seem to love confrontation.

You can believe what you want, but drunk Georgia fans do a lot of damage in this done, most of it unprovoked. I used to work nights in downtown Athens and I know what I speak of. I’ve seen you drunk inbreds in action.

The fact is I like football. I played football in high school (in Georgia, in fact). But football does not rule Athens, nor should it. I keep seeing people here say that I knew what I was getting into. Really? Is that what you tell your date-rape victims? That they knew what they were getting into when they came to your frat party and got drunk?

I’ve already stated what I love about Athens. Do you find it hard to believe that someone would live in Athens for the music, art, and culture? That it’s OK for Athens to be Assh*leville because that’s just the way it is? The rain in Seattle is a force of nature. Drunk football fans are just idiots with an unnatural sense of entitlement.

UGA is a college. A place to learn. Football is fun, but it should come second to academics, not before it.

It is astounding that you people are in such an uproar over being asked to not party before 7AM, use only one parking space, and to not park on the sidewalk or grass. Is it really that impossible for you to enjoy the football game without being complete idiots? Is it that difficult for you people to be civil?

I have no problems with the games themselves. Come to Athens and watch the game. Great. But don’t be assh*les about it. You can come to the games and not tear up the place.

And just because you paid for your ticket doesn’t give you the right to park wherever you want. Again, that sense of entitlement here is overwhelming.

I’ll miss a lot of things about Athens, and I’ll still visit. But not on game days.

These new rules make sense, but UGA can afford to build more parking areas. After all, UGA affords to buy and keep a very expensive condo/apartment in downtown Atlanta for the President. If the tailgaters expect UGA to take any action to help them, they must boycott all UGA games for a year. The drop in revenue just might bring the Unversity to its senses.

I hate to say this, but I agree with the new policies. I am a UGA grad, but I have not been able to attend a game since UGA broke the loosing streak against UT in 1999. However, now that I have two boys, one who loves UGA football as much as I do, I want them to experience seeing our beloved Dawgs play as I did with my dad when I was a kid.

There are two things that have kept me from doing just that. 1) I live in Illinois, though I am moving back to GA soon, and 2) all the alcohol and general trash that appears on gamedays. I was never a fan who just loved to tailgate for theat very reason.

I also think that the family friendly zones are a great idea. Unfortunately, the walk from those zones to the stadium have not been very family friendly. I think that these new policies will help to correct that.

But I also agree with the bloggers that this will cause further headaches for the residents of Athens and for the 15% of tailgaters who are trying to get to the game. I think that the university should set up tailgating “spots” and have suttles there to transport those fans who are going to the game to the stadium. That would help quite a bit I think… thoughts from anyone?

Lets make them somewhat intelligent, unlike Joe Dirt Dawg, or should I say the latest grad from the North Avenue Trade School who dreams at night about winning football games on any sort of regular basis. GO DAWGS!!!

This is a ridiculous decision by Adams yet again. I can not wait until he is replaced.

To the Athenians complaining about home games: What were you thinking by purchasing a home there? Your complaints are well-written and understandable but how could educated people not expect some of the things that do occur? If you bought a home next to a concert venue, would you expect people coming out high, drunk and occasionally disruptive? Uh, yeah.

I go to a few home games every single year and have the time of my life at those games. Bill, I get drunk as can be before games, too, but I don’t go damaging things or harrassing anyone. Please, if you don’t drink like a fish before a game, no problem. But don’t go putting down those that do.

Tailgating for 8 or so hours before a game is ritual for me and whomever is in our tailgating party. We all drink heavily and have a great time without harming anyone. Keep parking at your church lot, Bill. Whatever works for you. But don’t go passing judgement on others that are doing no wrong.

I hear this type of thing frequently - UGA fans hurling racial slurs, peeing on opposing fans, beating people up. And yet, in 14 years of tailgating in Athens and other SEC cities, I have yet to see anything even remotely like that.

When I was a little boy my dad used to take me to UGA football games. Now he is retired on a fixed income so I now have the season tickets and return the favor of taking him. But since I have been donating and buying tickets the cost of football season has more than tripled. Ticket prices increased, donation amount increased and, to my complete disgust, parking an RV went from on campus for free to off campus at $550 last year. I’m sure MFA’s new policy just increased the fee I will have to pay to park this year. I can not give up my tickets because my dad enjoys the games too much but I sure would like to send in my donation form empty with a note the says “Not another f’ing dime until that mushroom headed liberal piece of crap is fired!” Thanks MFA for screwing up what was truly one of the greatest experiences around - even people who don’t like football like to tailgate in Athens on a fall Saturday afternoon - or at least they did!

To Hate Game Days and anyone else complaining about tailgating at UGA. We are fighting the same battle. Us tailgaters want to be allowed to park in the grass (not sidewalks, don’t like that) and be closer to the stadium. The University takes these privilages away from us and pushes us further out into the city. Perhaps into your front yard. When you are trying to fit 92,000 people into a small area, there has to be exceptions. Instead of pushing us away from the stadium, try to keep everyone close to the stadium. Ole Miss has a place called the Grove which is nothing but a large plot of grass where almost the entire stadium tailgates in. This would alleviate alot of your problems Mr. Hate Gamedays. And another thing, don’t ever call Athens YOUR CITY again. It is our city. You would not even be their if it weren’t for UGA.

I’ll be the first to admit that Adams has done an extroardinary job raising the UGA to new level of academic excellence. However is it really necessary to do this? Tailgating at UGA, and tailgating in general, especially in the Southeast, is part of what makes college football so great.

Part of the reason that makes tailgating so much fun, is that it gives its participants to get away from familty and have a good time…even if it means having a few beers. I welcome families, but does their enjoyment have to require designated areas?

What about people, especially alumni ticket holders such as myself, that have gotten to each game at 7:00AM or earlier to set up the tailgate at the same spot for years? Do they not have any say? Its us, the decicated ticketholders and almuni who faithfully donate money each year to fund university’s new initiatives and construction projects.

By the way, am I the only person that thinks its ironic that these announcements have come after the donation period?

My advice to Mr. Adams is that he needs to be more mindful of biting off the hand that feeds him.

I am by no means an Adams lover, but these are long overdue changes. If the alcohol free areas do not get used then they can modify the changes. Somehow I doubt they will be alcohol free- maybe just reduced.

Once you have a family, the alcohol emphasis on tailgating deminishes. But there is still alot of fun in tailgating and the game day atmosphere.

I have been saying since my days as a student (class of ‘98) that the parking situation on campus at UGA is deplorable at best. With that in mind, I think that the prohibition against parking on the sidewalks should be reversed. As my dad (class of ‘68)said, parking on the sidewalk is a tradition that strethes back several years. Besides, how will an overmathed caplus police department enforce the new rules? However, I do like the prohibition against parking on campus before 7 am on game day. I support this because I can remember the frustration of being a student and not being able to park in MY dorm parking lot with a PARKING PASS that I PAID for because some guy in a RV drove up Thursday night and took up 5 spaces in the parking lot. This was compounded by nonstudents using our community grill and urinating in the bushes next to the building. One thing that I do realize - not all fans are alumni and not all alumni are fans. As radical as it may sound, maybe its time to revisit our ticket policy to favor people who actually graduated from UGA, and maybe its time to include points for general fund donations in the scorecard matrix as well as GSEF donations. Just because you contibute more to GSEF dosent mean that you love the school more than I do. And that’s coming from someone whose daddy named him Vince after Coach Dooly.

These new parking rules are pretty pathetic when you stop to think that there are only six home games per year. The University makes more money on those six Saturdays than it does the rest of the year. Mr. Adams obviously does not appreciate the business. If he did he wouldn’t try to run everyone off campus.

Illinidawg, don’t be afraid to bring your sons to a game. It’s as good a place as any to show your kids how to behave in public and how not too. Game day is exciting, yes, and there will be a few jerks who never grew out of infancy, but they are a minority. Kids are smart; they will follow your example and grow up to be good Dawgs.

University of Michael Adams Tailgate Policy 1) You cannot cross the Clarke Co. line with intent to tailgate before 6AM on the day of the game.

2) There will be positioned border patrol at said county line, after 6AM you must show proof you have a ticket to the game before admittance into Clarke Co., sorry those of you who wanted to bring your son/daughter to a game and didn’t have ticket for them yet. We’ll lock them up and you can pick them up after the game.

3) Only one six pack per vehicle and no more than a pint of hard liquor per 100 people.

4) No barking and/or cheering before 9AM, fines will be enforced.

5) You will be allowed on the campus one hour before kickoff and must be off campus within one hour after the game or face time in the pokey.

6) The battle cry of “GOOOOOOOOO DAWGS, SIC ‘EM! WOOF! WOOF! WOOF!” is only permitted on the opening kickoff for each half. Violators will be prosecuted.

7) The Redcoat Band will no longer be allowed to play the Battle Hymn of the Bulldog Nation nor during halftime because some bed-wetting pansy might be studying for an Animal Dentistry exam for Monday’s class.

8) The visiting team’s fans and band can watch the game on closed caption television at desigated sites outside the Clarke Co. line. (There’s at least one good change.)

9) There will also be a cover charge for entry into the stadium. Night games are Ladies Night!

10) The Dawg Walk will now be held at the outlet mall in Commerce.

As a side note you all are welcome to park at my house. —Signed Michael ADAMSORRY DAWG

Michael Adams is a control freak - someone not comfortable in the leadership position he holds. Several years ago, he told an senior Athletic Dept offical that he had replaced all UGA department heads but two - the AD and another unnamed one. He is more concerned with his power and control rather than expending rational thought as to whether the situation warrants his changes. This tailgating lockdown is another example. His divisive decisions continue to hurt “our” university. This is an extremely frustrating situation for an alumnus who loves UGA and wants what is best for all involved with our great university.

Many comments state that only alumni are tailgating. I am a student at the university and I along with a majority of my fellow students also tailgate on gamedays and we need places to park just as much as anyone else. If cars can not park on the grass we might as well just quit going to games because we will be parking as students in Watkinsville, you all have to keep in mind that just because we are students doesn’t mean that we live on campus. Adams needs to quit screwing up our university and go pick fights with his buddy leeburn. God save the Dawg nation not MFA!!!

I don’t know what Scott has in mind, but Adams definitely has not “replaced all UGa department heads but two.” It would not be easy for him to do so — departments generally choose their own heads.

Getting back to the main point — UGa is a university, not a football park. People live, study, and work here all the time, and they can’t just disappear to make room for football fans. That’s why we can’t open up all our parking lots for tailgaters. People are already here.

I agree with some of the other posters…I too am a resident of the fair city of Athens. I came here to attend the University and loved it so much I stayed. Yes, there are full time residents of this town who don’t participate in the football weekends, but they know how to avoid the madness. It is not a big deal, like “hategamedays” claims. By the way, football weekends are not the only time when there are drunk, obnoxious people yelling slurs in Athens…that’s just any old night! Deal with what comes along with the college town or please go somewhere else!!

This blog, like most blogs, is anti-intellectual, valueless because its anonymous, embarrassing, and therefore entertaining, but it does show there are some huge cultural divisions within our fanbase. But the reality is when rabid football fans go ballistic like this, it damages the credibility of the school and diminishes the value of my diploma. I’m a UGa fan, and we all have our share of jerks, but I’d really love to see some of these fans who’ve volunteered themselves to represent our school with no other affiliation than following the football team, to take a freaking hike. A lot of us who’ve spent time and money trying to support the SCHOOL would like y’all to find something else to obsess and embarrass yourselves over.

MATT, If it were not for the people that only follow the football team, the revenue would be nill, and your UGA football experience along with the other more ‘UGA diversified’ crowd, would be only a dream compared to what it is now. You need to understand that the people you are stereotyping support the athletic program that is ALSO part of the school that you support.

Furthermore: “A lot of us who’ve spent time and money trying to support the SCHOOL” = “rabid football fans go ballistic like this, it damages the credibility of the school and diminishes the value of my diploma.”

It is irrational to say that the only people causing the problems have no other ties to UGA. You are assuming that UGA SCHOOL supporters that support the football program aren’t causing any problems. That’s ludacris!

HateGameDays:

You said: I keep seeing people here say that I knew what I was getting into. Really? Is that what you tell your date-rape victims? That they knew what they were getting into when they came to your frat party and got drunk?”

That’s not a good comparison. Are you saying it’s a date-rape victims fault b/c she should have know it was going to happen? How could she, short of ESP? The only way she would know is 1) if she was told before hand that it was the guy’s plan…or 2) if every girl that ever got drunk at a party was always date-raped. And I’m sorry that is just not the case. Those women had NO IDEA that the horrible act was going to happen. It was, if you want to say, kept from her by the guy.

Are you telling me that when you visited the University while in H.S. that no one told you…”Gamedays are big and crazy around here”? And if no one did, why, after 4 years of school at UGA, did you decided to stay and live in Athens if you detested game days sooooo much? The problem is this existed well before you were born and now you want to change it for you. You are a smug, selfish p******. Get out of Athens. And never, ever under any circumstances show up at a game, tailgate or drink in Athens.

And once again, nice job trying to pin fault on date-rape victims for what happen to them. That was real classy, jerk. It really shows your true colors.

Mr. Adams is completely out of line. He seems to think that his way is the only way, and its a shame that there are others that endorse his lame ideas. About the only thing that Mr. Adams did right was to be lucky enough to get the UGA job as the Hope Scholarship started sending millions of dollars to the University System of GA., thus the higher scoring GA high school students came in droves to UGA increasing the academic standards and popularity as a University offering a top notch education.

When will he be stopped? The Athens/Clarke County Police in conjuction with the University Police are out in large numbers every game day keeping anyone with alcoholic beverages off of the street (and off of the sidewalks for that matter) by ticketing or arresting them for violation of the open container law. If the problem is so wide spread, why is it that RV’s are not effected by the new law. Is it that they pay more for the space that they reserve, or that they represent part of the crowd that makes 5 digit and up contributions to the University? The problem hasn’t been out of hand. The Police Department Revenue on Game day would be a good example that they address tailgaters that get roudy or violate the law. This is Mr. Adams once again stepping WAY over the line of reasonable action and imposing his way on others that contribute significant $’s to the Athens economy on Game weekends, 99% of which completely abide by all of the laws in place to ensure a good time by all. Who will finally have the guts to make Mr. Adams and his career available for other employment opportunities outside of Georgia. Its time for him to get a one way ticket OUT of UGA!

I think the posts on this board have answered the question Bill posed. Yes, we do need tailgate nazi’s. Bill hit the nail on the head with his column. Tailgating has become dangerous. I actually saw someone hit a man in a chair on the sidewalk with a Tahoe last year (in the highrollers section no doubt). It’s gotten rediculous, and the last few years have seen things decline exponentially.

Bill alluded to the cause of the problem in his column the other day. It’s not the Alumni (who do park on the grass and sidewalks, but are usually fairly tame), but it is the outsiders that come in and get sloshed and ruin the experience for everyone. That is exactly what you people are too, outsiders. You people that destroy University property and trash the grounds are not true Georgia Bulldogs. You people that come on this message board and bash other Bulldog supporters are not true Georgia Bulldogs.

By God’s good grace, I was blessed with the priviledge to spend four years of my life in Athens, GA, at the University of Georgia. Nothing makes me madder than to see supposed fans trash the campus and ruin my gameday experience, and then skip town the next day. HateGameDays, though he exaggerated and is clearly not a football fan, made some good points. While there is room for leniency in the rules during gameday weekends (open container law), there is a breaking point. When fellow Bulldog’s gameday experiences are diminished and their lives are put in jeopardy, that breaking point has been reached. And then, to top it off, idiots come on this message board and start calling people gay. How juvenile is that? That is embarassing to read supposed Bulldog fans using slurs to attack people on this message board. I had to read on to see if anyone followed with the “My dad can beat up your dad” line.

Before we crucify Michael Adams, again, we need to give these rules a year to see what kind of affect they have. There is nothing so restrictive about these rules that is going to hinder people’s gameday experience. If anything they will probably enhance it for the majority of people that don’t make total asses out of themselves.

JT, what you need to do is take all of your UGA gear and money and drive an hour or two north to Furman University. At Furman about 350 die-hard Died in the wool Palitan fans get together every home game and watch some quality football. Although, I have seen a 58 year old woman having a wine cooler before a game.

There are very few comments from students on this board. I find that interesting. I love football and gamedays and tailgating. That said, the parking is just plain stupid on campus. And with that said, Michael Adams just made it a whoooolle lot dumber. Not parking on sidewalks is actually a very good idea just because it keeps people from walking in the street and potentially getting hit by a car. Keeping people from using two spots is not a horrible idea, but the fact is you cannot take away the grass if you are going to do that. The grass is just about the only place students can park on gamedays, especially those of us who unfortunately cannot start tailgating the night before and have studying to do. The law library is open for us to study in and yet we cannot park within 2 miles of campus under this new policy, if we are commuters, without getting towed. Let alone tailgate. To those people complaining about drunk people, you should realize that all this policy is going to do is make it someone else’s problem. Which is exactly what the administration loves to do. They love to make problems that should apply to them become someone else’s problem. Tailgaters are coming to a neighborhood near you. Like it or not. The administration does this with everything. Recently I wrote a letter in the student newspaper about how the University should do something about a broken crosswalk that has been broken for over a year. I have complained about this crosswalk to both the university and the city before, to no avail. This time I received a letter from the Assistant to Michael Adams basically stating that it was the job of the city to maintain the crosswalk and they have been wondering for a year why it has not been fixed. Ofcourse they clearly did not know why or when it would be fixed because the administration did not need to because they had passed the blame. Doesn’t matter that only University Students use that particular crosswalk. Furthermore, I was told that “the way to get things done is to write letters to the city officials and not to the Red and Black.” The assistant didnt bother to check to see if the city had actually recieved student complaints, I am sure. Fact is, this current administration is out of touch with the people it is supposed to serve. Getting rid of parking on the grass is a blatant fundraising move so the University can get more money from parking. All this does to students who even may need to study on gameday (and yes I have woken up to study on gameday in the law library so I can tailgate later for late afternoon games) is prevent the students from getting anywhere near campus by parking legally.

Our campus is so crowded with buildings that when if one catches fire several will come down because they are too close together. Mr. Adams, you’ve ruined so many good things here at UGA, why can’t you let the people enjoy themselves at football games.

I enlisted in the Air Force instead attending college, but I did later graduate from Georgia College. Go ahead and laugh but it is a good school with no football team. Not all of us in GA could afford to attend UGA. If only alumni should post on this site or tailgate then maybe only alumni should be able to attend games.

Bill, it had been a while since I was on the south end of campus game day till last year. More of a north/downtown parker lately. I actually didnt realize cars could still jump the curb and park game day on campus anymore. I thought that went out years ago. How many cars are we talking on the grass game day? Seems to me its not a tremendous amount. Is it? not sure. I read the AJC article a couple of times, doesnt seem like huge changes to tailgating to me. Just a bit of an adjustment for a few fans. No sidewalk, taking up 2 spaces, drunk free zones, all good. grass, not sure. its certainly the right of the university. 7am, ??? Seems hardly worth a rule, specially if the parking spots are resticted. I’d like to see a more comprehensive explaination from the university. Like how many spots that displaces and where they are being accomodated. Most fans are reasonable and realize its just not 1975 anymore.

I have been attending Auburn games in Auburn for 25 years and have never seen that much trash in the streets. At most games, there is zero garbage in the streets.

Georgia has been a good team the last few years and, I think, has developed a new fan base. These new fans never went to Georgia or have any affiliation with the university. They are Dawgs strickly by the “Grace of God”. I am not kidding….the garbage in the streets at the game two years ago was the worst ever by far. There are some sloppy Auburn fans out there and the sad part is that they are usually alumni….not too many walk up fans. Bottom line is that tailgating is great but it is alot better in the grass under a shade tree. By the way, after that game, it was Auburn fans trashing the streets with toilet paper…go figure…

For those that think the rules are not enforceable - wait till you see the bollards. I have been putting up with them for years now, and they definitely get the job done. They don’t do much for the looks of the campus, though.

The Athens PD can’t even direct traffic on a big game day and now you want to add enforcing the MFA’s new rules to their list? Anyone at the Auburn game last year can tell you what a mess getting out of Athens after the game was. It took 45 minutes to get from the stadium to my hotel. I could’ve walked it in less than 10.

Wow people, heated debate. Respect would be the key word here. For each other and the enviroment. Treat it like you would your own home or property. You can’t build parking decks and parking lots on campus that just doesn’t look as nice as a $50 million dollar building. Bill, I hate to see that there are going to be people taking tailgaters off to the gas chambers and concentration camps.

Roy, I’ve been to a couple of games at Auburn. I’d never seen parts of a campus shin deep in trash (even after Katrina we weren’t that bad) until the Sunday morning after a game in Auburn.

I don’t know if Auburn and Georgia do it or not, but LSU handles the garbage situation in an efficient way. Starting at 6am, they put out disposable cardboard garbage “cans” anywhere they see a tent or a truck. On Sunday we have prisoners from the correctional facility (no, not Angola) down the road come clean it up. Almost all the garbage left anywhere is bagged anyway. Cheap, too.

We allow parking on grass as long as the ground is nice and dry. If it’s kinda wet, they rope it off, you drop off your stuff, and park somewhere else. We do have a sweet deal, because there is plenty of space to tailgate in the grass and under the trees, once you drop your stuff off.

Sorry you guys have to go through this. On the upside, at least you’re not in Knoxville, where you are forced into tailgating in Drugstore parking lots two miles from the stadium.

College football is great…even in Athens Last year, we enjoyed the tailgate expeience up until it was time to go in the game. There is not enough entrances into the stadium. Luckily, we got in the crowd at the entrance early and got to see kick off. There were thousands still standing in line to get in half way through the first quarter. The walkways through the stadium are tight and move slow. My wife missed the second quarter going to the bathroom. I missed half of the third quarter getting hot dogs when I left my seat just before halftime. As we all know, due to the close game, the traffic leaving Athens was at an all time high. We got back to Alpharetta at 3:00am. It was really not that bad. We have been going to Athens for the Auburn game every other year for the last 22 years. The experience is the same as far as the stadium. Auburn has won 10 of those 11 games so it has made the inconveniences a little more palatable…..see you in two years….we will park in Watkinsville and take the shuttle…

So now the campus police is going to have to work a 30 hour non-stop shift beginning Friday evening and ending after the crowd leaves Athens on Saturday. When they confiscate my tent at Midnight Friday nite, what are they going to do with it?

And now the traffic jam will be at 6:00am instead of 10:30am. Adams has created a whole new set of problems. The Dawg Nation has just rolled over and let this little man grind us into the turf.

To AuburnGaDawg;
I’m not sure by your name how true of a Georgia fan you really are… but that’s a totally different issue.

You commented that Saturdays have ALWAYS been like they are now. How wrong you are. I grew up in Athens, went to every game as a kid, went to every game as a student, have gone to MANY games as an alumnus. While I love going and will continue to go to games, things ARE different. When my parents took me to games, they didn’t have to worry about what “sights” I might see, things I might hear while walking from just about every possible parking place to the stadium (boy I hated it when my dad made us late… what a long walk it was from Married Student Housing).

Anyway, today we do have to worry about which route we take to get to the game. As few as 20 years ago, tailgating wasn’t an overnight issue (in fact MOST DAWG fans considered those folks who over-nighted it to be really odd; tailgating wasn’t an issue at all.

It shouldn’t be now either. DAWG fans should know how to be true fans and support their team without causing anyone else an inconvenience.

In fact, that’s the biggest change I’ve really seen. Way too often (not always mind you - there are a lot of extremely pleasant and wildly fun tailgaters) the people who have gone overboard with their tailgating think it’s their right to inconvenience everyone else. Yet ask them to just curtail a bit of their obnoxious behavior and they scream that they are being inconvenienced. They can’t see the irony of their Saturday mornings.

I don’t ever want to see tailgating stopped. It IS a part of going to the games, but how and why is it wrong for us to ask of ourselves that we do it with a little sense of pride (we ARE UGA fans) and consideration for our Alma Mater (and its other fans).

FYI, I drive from SW Georgia on game days and make sure that I arrive in Athens early enough to get in some amount of tailgating. All of us who partake in the festivities have an awesome time in our tiny little parking space on the concrete (usually as far away as Cedar Creek)! Don’t tell me it has to be on the grass or the sidewalks of a public educational institution. That’s a cop out!

Bill: You need to kick back, have a few beers, and chill on your hate of people that drink. You sound like one of these judgemental Baptists that keep me from coming to church.

But if you really spend eight hours before a game drinking steadily, I’m not sure you are the most reliable source when it comes to characterizing your behavior at or after a game!

Let me tell you what happens, Bill. We sometimes start at around 7AM or better yet, we’ve had a few of us throw down a tent the night before and camp out. (not happening now!) We’ll turn on some high school football on the radio, get out the fire pit, have some drinks, and talk about the game the next day. We’ll invariably have Georgia fans come by after setting up a few of their things for the next morning and make a new Dawg friend.

The next morning we get up, pull down the tent, and begin the official tailgating with some biscuits on the grill…and beer. (the humanity!)

The day is followed with nonstop grilling and beer. Throw some brats on the grill, follow it with wings, burgers and dogs, then ribs…it goes on and on. And beer.

Bill…maybe you should stop going with your stereotypes and join some of these tailgates. They’re everywhere and both fun and harmless. We’ve never had a problem with fans of our opponents (in fact, we always make it a point to go talk to them about the game) or Georgia fans.

You guys are blowing it all way out of proportion. How many have actually parked on the grass in here at 5:00AM? This affects a scant few patrons who will just adjust. I’m pretty surprised that has been allowed this long. And its hardly an indictment of adult beverages to have an area designated for families. I suggest avoid those and drink as usual. I certainly doubt that meeting was called to order like this…ok gentleman , how do we ruin the fun for anyone attending a game here on campus. Football is popular, fans are multiplying, campus space is finite. So you pay to park someplace else. I figured out a long time ago, either dont go or just pay the MAN and shut up and enjoy.

LOL - If the MFA was chairing the meeting, I’m sure was the issue was how to ruin it for the football heathens. A lot of us don’t like the man for interfering in athletic business to start with, i.e., Harrick and then Dooley, someone misinformed him that it would all blow over and we’d all forget about it.

What I don’t understand is that if they were upset about the garbage on the campus, then how about having someone around to empty them when they are full and overflowing? If you have 90,000 plus people on campus, you need to make arrangements for emptying and/or putting out more containers.

And one more thing on the subject of drinking. i have nothing against it. I enjoy having a couple of drinks. But anyone who’s ever been to a UGA game knows that many, MANY fans and students don’t know when to stop and drink to the point where they are a nuisance to those around them and a danger to themselves and others.

A Floridian by fate, a DAWG by choice. Have been tailgating at UGA for the past 40 years. HATE MICHAEL ADAMS and think he’s the worst thing that every happened to UGA. On one occasion last season, our friends drove their car and decided to park in their “special” parking area. There were no spaces but we were directed by a couple people guarding the lot to just park on the grass. We usually have no trouble in the lot we have parked in for many years, and trash bags are usually passed out to those who don’t carry them. It’s an opportunity for us to get together with our sons and old friends and enjoy something we dearly love, Georgia Football. It’s always fun, we’ve met lots of friendly tailgaters and will keep coming as long as we can afford it, which may not be that long if they continue to raise prices!!
