• SGA Tailgate was an embarrassment. No TV, rain out of coozes at 8am, did not even see anyone. F
• Tailgate Area: Terrible, SGA had a large TV set up on a panel truck. No Fraternities/sororities showed up until right before game time, no walk on champions. Not having a DJ or live music is ridiculous and just lazy or going the cheap route. Cheap Route is why we are not D1 already. D- Effort
Ways to Improve
• Concessions area selling beer needs to be nicer with kind of a craft beer bar feel, not just a temporary selection under the bleachers
• Need a permanent 3rd down song for the stadium to hear and a song going into the 4th quarter for people to sing along to ( might of had one this time, dont remember)
• Tailgate field for students needs to be moved to the center of campus on the quad (Been saying this for 4 years now and messaged Seitz about it, nothing comes of it, but something has to change)
• Live music at student tailgate with free hot dogs and burgers for all students, corn hole and other activities. As an AD of a high school, I do more than this on game days.
Overall, the SGA does a terrible job at tailgate and has been for 10+ years. I know it’s a translational year but we need to start preparing for Division 1, not acting like a DIII school. This goes for everyone Sororities, Fraternities, SGA, and campus officials.
Thoughts? Or Other suggestions?

Concessions at the game has declined severely in qualityof food and service. Also there should be tvs located at the concession areas so you can see what's going on while waiting in long slow lines. I don't understand how it takes 6 to 8 people to service two lines moving in slow motion. Also the food stinks. If you haven't tried the bbq then you are lucky or smarter than me, I'd be ashamed to feed it to my dogs.
So please someone please raise a standard or two
1. the food should not taste like _______
2. You should not have to miss a whole quarter waiting in a line to get a drink or candy.
3. Put a tv above the concessions so you can see the game.
4. Put someone in charge of making the game day experience at Jax St. Something people talk about positively.

I’d send my application and resume every day, until someone answered if they’d create that position. |

Mercer has a nice setup for their tailgating. Copy them or at least steal a few ideas.

This goes for everyone Sororities, Fraternities, SGA, and campus officials. I wonder how many of the students on the SGA (for the past 10+ years) have ever attended a tailgate at another university? I don't mean a JSU tailgate at an away game. I mean a student tailgate put on by another university for their students. This weekend is an open date for the Gamecocks. Someone should take all the non-senior SGA members who'll be helping to organize tailgates in 2023 and beyond, and bus them to another school to get some ideas. Which school?? I dunno. I haven't attended any other tailgates either. |
