Anyone have Tailgating experience at UK?

From the Bayou to the Bluegrass

I have been to a heck of a lot of away games through the years and I have come to the conclusion that I’ll just save my tailgating for home games. Since you can seldom get passes for pay lots, you often just end up parking on the side of some street or something like that. You are almost always better off just getting set up in some place with food and drinks near the stadium and hanging out until game time.

All I know is that I have been to heck of a lot of UK-LSU games in Lexington. I use to live in West Virginia and I could drive in 2 hours. I missed the darn Blue Grass miracle cuz I was on a cruise. I enjoyed every game. Tailgating was awesome but only because of all of the LSU fans.... I think the UK folks only drank.... the cooking by LSU folks kind of surprised them I think. One year in the late 90s I think I was sitting a few seats behind Dinardos wife... She got pissed and left because Dinardo was getting booed... Another year I was sitting a few seats from Charles Alexander... Cool dude, I think he was still playing for the Bengals...

But the most interesting thing I saw one year is that at half time half the fans left. I couldn’t figure it out because Kentucky was winning....I was told that the fans left to go stand in line for the midnight practice that signaled the start of basketball season. That pretty well sums up the state of UK basketball ??
