    I doubt there will be that many tailgating. I work right across the street from the Colonial Center and the only concert that really had a lot of tailgaters was a Jimmy Buffett concert. Those parrotheads were out in drones that day.

    Nothing beats the fairgrounds on gameday though :)

    Us Ga boys find an excuse to tailgate for ANYTHING.

    I know all about the Colonial Center (and it's lack of good shows.) We can start a new trend........works for me......If you have a better suggestion, let's hear it. I'm up for anything!

    Tybee Island!!!!!!!! Awesome beach, you'll love it. Savannah is really special, too, but I think Tybee is a great beach.

  • Info for any newcomers into SC. I'm not sure how bad it is up in columbia but beware of the red mud. That shit will stain anything white. Especially shoes.
  • Tybee and the other islands are so nice! While Savannah is fun for a day on the river and historical aspects, I'd definitely rather spend time on Tybee, it's peaceful and gorgeous. However, definitely beware the red clay if you have intentions on wearing your clothes/shoes/socks again! Hilton Head can be nice also, but VERY touristy.

    I think the lack of tailgating has nothing to do with the fans. I expected to see a lot of tailgaters for the Bruce Springsteen show and the Kenny Chesney show, but other than a few here or there, there weren't many. I think a lot of it has to do with the parking situation. There aren't nearly enough parking spaces to accomodate the Colonial Center and it seems that people show up roughly at the same time and it's just a free for all to get a space. With that, it's hard for people coming from all different directions to plan on where to meet up.

    The one thing that helped the Buffett concert goers is that I believe that show was on when USC wasn't in session, so you didn't have to wait for USC students to vacate the parking lots. Those lots won't be completely empty, but it may be easier to plan something if the meet up time is in the early afternoon (maybe around 2 pm).

    Far! If you're interested in the Outer Banks you need to go to Virginia Beach.

    Haha...thanks! I've gotten tired over the past few years of watching the USC basketball programs wither to nothing.


    Yeah, if people show up early, it should be easier to tailgate. If they all show up as work lets out and rush hour hits, it will definitely be harder to plan something unless people want to go to the Vista.

    Well, I for one am planning to arrive early!! Can't wait to see where my tickets are!

    Anyone?


    It's anyone's guess. In Atlanta '03, I was way the hell back and my number is 214xxx. However, they did block seating then based on when you showed up rather than completely based on seniority (i.e., if you had a similar number to mine but showed up hours earlier to pick up the tix, you would get a better seat).

    My guess is now that fan club tix are no longer available for Columbia, and the fact that the seats most likely did not sell out, we should all have pretty decent seats. Here's to hoping at least. The closest I've sat is row 15 and that was at the '03 Hershey show which never went on sale through 10C.
