Last minute Tailgate notes

Just a brief reminder for Sunday -

• Cash only!  Cash admission, cash tee-shirts.  Bring cash.
• You will not be able to eat/drink without a wristband.  Wristbands are given at the admission table.
• Admission begins at 12:30 and no earlier. 
• Dress for the weather.  This is an outside event.  As of today, the forecast is 55 and sunny.
• Bring any games (cornhole, etc.) that you want to share.
• We now have Loganberry!

Tailgate 5.0 FAQ’s

1. Can I purchase tickets in advance?  There are no presales.  All tickets are sold the day of the event.
2. How much does the tailgate cost?  $15 for members (no exceptions, your name appears here), $20 non-members.  Please don’t join just to save $5, it’s for charity and $20 is still highway robbery.  Cash only.
3. What if the event sells out?  Since we make all of the rules, there are no sell outs. 
4. What is included in admission?  All you can eat Sahlens, Chiavetta’s chicken, Galla’s pizza, and Bison chip dip.  You can eat til you puke, but we don’t recommend this as it’s disgusting.  All you can drink Molson Canadian and all the water you can consume.  And we recommend consuming water.
5. Where is the tailgate located?  At the Hudson Grille Midtown in the side parking lot.  Yes, we will still have free valet.
6. What time does the tailgate begin? City of Atlanta liquor laws permit drinking at 12:30, so 12:30 it is!
7. How much are tee-shirts?  Tee-shirts are $20 for long-sleeve and $15 for short-sleeve.  Cash only.
8. How much is a child’s admission?  Children 13 and under are $8/each or 2 for $15.
9. What if I don’t drink beer (children)?  Okay, so I added this question for myself.  Coke, water and Loganberry will be available.

Please plan ahead and be responsible!  Drinking and driving is stupid and irrisponsible.  Plan on taking Marta to the 10th Street exit or call a cab, they’re everywhere.
