This past semester has had a few events that the editorial board is thankful for. Students standing up for their rights, president Wilbur having open forums, the Central Alert System being fixed and the soccer team is among the things to be thankful for.

The ban on external sound systems during tailgating has been lifted. SGA President Jason Nichol played a key role in having the ban lifted.

Tailgating at Kelly/Shorts Stadium last year resulted in a much larger number of medical runs than the first two games this year while also attracting fewer people.

The two home football games this season have been less than exciting for businesses surrounding Kelly/Shorts Stadium.
Changes in university tailgating policies have drastically reduced the number of people in Lot 63, which has made a dent in sales of nearby stores and restaurants.

Only one MIP was issued in the student tailgating lot for Saturday’s football game against Akron, said Central Michigan University Police Chief Bill Yeagley.

While the new tailgating policies have many CMU students up in arms, other universities are modifying their own policies.

University officials remain committed to the new Central Michigan University tailgating procedures despite Saturday’s low turnout at Lot 63.

The grills were fired up, the beers were cold and everyone was donning maroon and gold.
It sounded like a typical football tailgate at Kelly/Shorts Stadium. Except this tailgate Saturday was on Main Street.
