RV Village - Assignments

G4 and G5 are going to be HOTTT tickets. If I was Jamie I'd charge more for those since they are closest to the RV Village.

It'll be very interesting to see a bifurcated tailgate situation at Trice this fall
 
As someone that parked in G7 the last several years and has seats on the west side of the stadium I didn't think the walk was bad and that was before the bridge. With that bridge you have a straight shot to the stadium and now that the concourse is connected completely around the stadium it makes it very quick and easy to get to the west side once you are inside the stadium.
 
Looking forward to the new RV Village. Mainly because of no more noisy generators and no diesel fumes (from my RV). Also, not as much 'tailgate creep' with the assigned spots and a more defined area. I did chuckle at some of the restrictions (no glass bottles, no liquor. and no standalone speakers). I did upgrade my amplification this year, but if you knew what I had before it was laughable, but it worked.

I understood the 'no DJ Booth' or PA setups. Not everyone wants to listen to your music as much as you do... (especially when you are drunk singing the first 30 seconds of each song at midnight, that was annoying)

There will be some adjustments from D4 to here, but I like it.

I got spot 429 and I am next to a college roommate, so that will be fun. Will be there 9/2. My dogs are itching to get back in the rig.
Where did you find this? I have searched for it in the policies and I haven't found it anywhere...

Please send me a link if you can.

TIA

From the email we received with our assigned spot:

  • All patrons who are under 21 years of age are strictly prohibited from using alcoholic beverage on University property.

State law prohibits hard liquor consumption or possession of an opened bottle of hard liquor on public property, which includes Iowa State University parking lots.

Guess Vodka for bloody marys and fireball will need to be "hidden"

That would mean it is the same law as always, no? Just a matter of if it is decided to be enforced? Just like open container is ignored in the lots, but don't try to cross a street with an open can.

Agreed. This is no change in policy. They are just reminding those that get out of hand that this is another stick the authorities have and another charge they can pile on you if you are being an asshat and getting out of hand. I don't imagine enforcement will change any. It is doubtful that they are going to give the relatively big donors in the RV lot a hard time about this. Happy donors tailgating in an expensive RV lot with donor level requirements attached means stable money coming into the AD.

I can't tell you how often I have crossed the street with an open container at Jack Trice. Right in front of the cops no less. Don't be a jackass or a stumbling drunk and you'll be fine.
 
Disappointed they will not allow a flat tow vehicle behind a Class C or Class A RV.
I have a 36' Class C RV with a flat tow a Jeep Wrangler (under 55'). Use this to visit children in Des Moines on Fridays and/or Ames dining on Friday nights.

Will be a long walk to the west side of stadium!
I would drop the Jeep and park it in public parking at the stadium and then walk back to get it when needed. Or, a folding bicycle is handy to get back and forth to the vehicle. When visiting us in the D RV lots my son would park in public parking and then walk over to our motorhome.

We basically have to do the same thing when we camp at Saylorville since the campground that we use is back in only. We have to drop our Jeep at the vehicle parking at the entrance, go to our site and set up and then walk back up to get the Jeep. They will allow you to keep the vehicle at the site after that though.

This has ALWAYS been the rule. But I can't remember anyone ever being called on it.

I was sure I saw basically a full liquor table that one game in the rented tents in the middle it was sponsored by a liquor store I thought, but I could be wrong. This was last yr.

I have never seen the cops confiscate liquor in the donor lots, don't act like a fool and they don't care. Now the student lot is probably different, Ha

I remember reading “no glass (bottles)” in the lots. To this day, those are not out in the open at our tailgate.

Cyclone Liquors has had center tents. Haven’t been in one of theirs for a few years.

The bridge will shorten that up.
