One ammendment down, a few others to go. This isnt right whats going on, look what happened at Michigan State years back, what really changed there. No one goes to this stuff for the football, it helps that there competitive but its all about the students and the alumni, the game is secondary. Cmon, SGA get this stuff taken care of.

Finally, someone with some sense. People have real problems in this world, and this is not one of them. Grow up and stop acting so spoiled. Thank you class of 1990. Finally, someone with some sense.

That lot would be full to the limit and then some if the rules were back to normal. If we back down then Heeke will win, and they wil not take the students seriously. I dont want to know what type or restrictions they will try to pull if we end up giving in. I hope we beat Eastern saturday, and I hope the students still protest these rules. Keep the Emergency lane, Keep the music and Vendors but the rest, CHILL OUT. We are “manning up” to the policies. That lot would be full to the limit and then some if the rules were back to normal.

However it seems like everyone thinks that we have a right to tailgate in Lot 63. This is a great privilege provided by CMU. For those of you who do not realize that they almost stopped tailgate completely before the football season. If no one goes to tailgate then that is what will happen. Why pay police, and staff, to maintain something that no one goes to. So go to tailgate, enjoy yourself, GO TO THE GAME and predrink if you must.

Never seen such a group of whiny slackers. You have the best team in the MAC, maybe the best team CMU has ever had, and you are pulling this garbage. Get to the game and the tailgate lot and support your team and stop the complaining. Six beers is enough. You need more?, have a few before you get there and MAN THE HELL UP! Get your butts back in the tailgate lot and show some Chippewa Pride!

Students are going to party whether the public wants it or not. It seems to me that it makes more sense to allow the students to party in the lot, and then all the students are located in a contained area. With these rules students party all over Mt pleasant, causing more issues. If students continue not to come to the tailgates, the school will have no choice but to drop these rules.

The rules are ridiculous, lets say that you get to tailgate at 9 before a 12 o'clock game, according to the 6 beer limit you are entitled to only be allowed to drink two beers an hour. I don't know about you but Central Michigan students sure as hell can drink more than two beers an hour and still have safe fun.

In 10 years of tailgating (mostly in the student lot, even as alumni), I have never seen an ambulance try to get thru that couldn't. I'm fine with their being an emergency lane but the rest of the rules should follow this one. While I support this move, the excuse that it hindered emergency personnel is still an outright lie.

The external sound system was certainly the MAIN concern for students, not the pedestrian checkpoints or alcohol limit. CMU students will certainly prefer to tailgate in lot 63 again with external sound systems rather than on main street. ps. I am being sarcastic. This is great!
