I know this has been posted before, but I'm not sure if anything conclusive was said. What is the deal with tailgating for the shows? I've heard all about the limited parking, but then somebody said this may not apply to the Bruce shows. Are people going to be bused somewhere else? I suppose I will end up phoning GS, but too lazy to do that today. Anybody know any updates?
Are they going to make this a drag?

With the construction of the new stadium on site in progress, tailgating will not be nearly as easy as in the past. First, the Stadium does not have nearly enough spots to accommodate the number of parkers. Second, they actually try to enforce the vehicle in every spot rule. There are two real strategies for the diehard tailgaters - 1. Get there early with a few vehicles and park in a spot that allows you to use an area along an edge that does not have spots. Late arrivals may have to walk to get to your area. 2. Set-up in one of the outlying lots that requires use of a shuttle bus - it is easier there to set up a keep an area to your crew.

I plan to do my part by taking a cab from the hotel, thus saving a space for someone else to use. A disposasble cooler and I'm all set

They are not using the off site shuttle lots for concerts as they do for football. There is plenty of parking for concets, but they will "try" to rule you can only take up one space. All construction employees must be off site by 12pm on event days. If you want to close to the stadium you should get there early. Best bet is to park in the lots behind the track- always lots of extra spaces and if you are lazy they do have shuttle buses to these lots but it is only a 5 min walkt to the gate.

Thanks for the info. Doesn't sound as bad as I was hearing initially.
