A buddy of mine had sex in a grass lot kybo in the old student lots circa 2006 or so.
Tailgating Stories

I'm not sure on the exact year. The guy in question is from Davenport and would have been in Ames from 2005-2010. No clue who the gal was.
Many good times. Saw the thread title and 1st memory that came to mind is:
I'm going to assume it was 1996 during Troy Davis' senior year. I was still in High School and I came up to visit my brother for the weekend. Not sure who the game was against but lets face it the only thing that mattered during that Era was not winning it was: Will Troy Davis get 100 yards to keep himself as a Heisman front runner (Note: later robbed but that's another thread).
The day was painstakingly cold. Grills were going and people were using them as heaters. Well to get people into the stadium the Athletic Department gave the first X000 people in Touchdown Troy Davis shirts. Again, I was in high school and wanted one SO incredibly bad. I remember my brother and his roommates just kept looking around and laughing seeing no one there and telling me we'd be fine. So I sat there freezing and eating, eating and freezing- Too young to inject the antifreeze all others were. Finally I think my brothers roommates girlfriend took me into the stadium so I could get a shirt.
I wore it every week for a year. Man I miss that shirt.

Your brother is far more responsible than my friends and I were. If someone's HS aged sibling was in Ames without parents in site, we got them stupid drunk.
Coming in 2nd place to the coveted TD Troy Davis shirt was the tornado Colorado game. My wife and I just graduated from Iowa State and we came back for that game. All of us who graduated and had jobs were considered RICH so we got together and threw a big fancy tailgate party for the friends suffering through their final years still in school. It was a fantastic, memorable, fun party with all of us back together again.
You could just feel the atmosphere starting the brew up a storm though. We partied and we went hard. The guys finally gave into suggestions of the more intelligent wives/girlfriends/fiance's and loaded up beers and started walking (slowly) towards Hilton. Got there right when the all clear was given and slowly walked back.

I saw a similar thing happen in a portajohn in the North Endzone during the post-game field rush after the Iowa win (I believe 2001). I remember telling my old man "God I can't wait for college".
Towards my latter college years (2003ish), we decided it would be fun to tow a trailer behind our tailgate bus with a full hot tub on it into the RV lots. Apparently made for quite the drive getting it to the lots without losing all the water, even though I wasn't a part of that journey. Luckily, we didn't have far to get it there. Anyway, that was quite the epic hot tub tailgate, especially the Friday night party we had in it before the game. With all that said, we were quite amused to read the tailgating rules the following year where they introduced a new rule not allowing Jacuzzis in the tailgate lots. While we never did it again for whatever reasons, we have always got a kick out of us forcing them to introduce a new rule on our behalf. Quite the honor honestly. We also laughed off that if we ever desired to do it again in the future, that we would still be good to go by technicality, since we never used a Jacuzzi, but rather a hot tub.

Was this in section 19 or around there? I feel like I remember a security guard taking someone’s beer that game
Section 34. 10 rows from the field. Best seats I've ever had at the Jack, thanks to a now retired seed dealer.
Story 2. We all know the portta potty lines are insufferable. Well, we always set up our tailgate next to the woods. With unlimited trees to use as a restroom there was no need to wait in line. One particular tailgate my buddy came back from the woods only to be handed an indecent exposer ticket. That officer must have been having a bad day.
2003 ISU vs Iowa, my freshman year. Came upon a tailgate where people were tag team wrestling in a kiddie pool full of chocolate pudding. One of quite a a few realizations my first couple weeks that college was awesome.
