 Tailgate Spots
Blue Lot near Gates 10 and 11, anywhere along Alumni Drive or Waller Drive, and EH Goodbarn Field.  Most of the students party in the field next to Waller Ave.  Alumni tend to tailgate around Gates 10 and 11.  The red lot {in the front of the stadium} has a more family friendly atmosphere.  Our tailgate neighbor has converted an ambulance into his own wildcat mobile.  It is painted blue and white.  The siren plays the fight song and the lights are blue and white.

A family friend provided the insider information this weekend.  Mr. Chris is a alumni of Kentucky (Class of '89).  He would like to add that football games were always fun, win or lose.  Also if your team plays in Lexington in October, check the Keeneland schedule and see if they are racing.  It is truly a special experience and a way to experience Kentucky hospitality at its finest.

Thank you, Mr. Chris!
