Captain Of The Tailgate: Bring The RV

by Brandon on Nov 12, 2010 4:00 PM CST

Last week I discussed booze for Captain of the Tailgate, but I'm moving onto something I've always wanted: a big tailgating RV. I'll never own one because I'm way too cheap, but I'm always fascinated by people that bring their house to the stadium. As much as I love the idea of an RV with an outdoor TV and party area (where's the grill in that picture people!) the idea of getting stuck as the designated driver sounds awful. I will not be behind the wheel for the post-game road trip. I've been very lucky because I've never had to drive home from a tailgate. I've either walked (mostly in college to campus area housing) or I'm falling asleep in the back (I fall asleep really easy in cars, especially after a drink or five). Can you camp out overnight in those RVs in the stadium parking lots?

Well its a different environment completely

But I moved to Tuscaloosa, AL this year for work and my store is 2-3 blocks away from Bryant-Denny Stadium and we have RV’s that will show up to park in our lot as early as Thurs and stay through till Sunday morning. This season has been my up close introduction to big time SEC football and I must say it has been an absolute blast. The people are extremely nice and its been great watching the interaction between fan bases.

I’m usually extremely jealous of the people who are staying here because they get to hang out and party in their nice RV while I’m working all day. These people have incredible passion, reminds me a lot of GB in that respect. Every business you pass has Roll Tide Roll on the signs out front and the entire town revolves around the school. On my way home from working a gameday I went in to a grocery store to pick up some beer and they were playing the radio broadcast over the in-store speakers! Pretty funny.

Anyway, most college games have overnight parking for RV’s (and pay a pretty penny to park there too btw) so that’s not usually an issue, at least here.
