One is blue (it's real blue, not that purple color like the bookstore has) and says "eat sh!t grizzlies" another is yellow and says "FTG". If you want one, PM me and I will give you his contact info. I believe it's $5 for one and $9 for the pair, but not positive.

I saw them. They are pretty sweet.

Since my other half wouldn't let me have FTG stitched into the back of my son's hat (can ya'll believe that

) I'll try to get him a couple of the wristbands. Thanks for all the good information, and even my wife was impressed with the tailgating. We had a blast this weekend.

Here are the pictures from Belgrade Bobcat. I shrunk them down a little so that it will load faster, but if anyone needs to see them in original size I can do that later. I think the pictures show the size of the crowd tailgating, WOW!

We hear so much about tailgating in Missoula. Can a fellow Griz fan send us some pictures of their homecoming tailgating as well? I am curious to see how it went

Lest we forget, this is just the East parking lot.

There may not be as many folks in the West lot, but I'd bet it's close to 75% of the East lot.

Any way you cut it, a good time being had by a lot of folks...

The West parking lot was completely filled up. There were tailgates all the way to the 11th street out there on the end. Crazy!!! .. and FUN!

Thanks for the tip grizzh8r. I've been screwing around with imageshack a bit and it's kind of fun. I posted some of our pictures on the AnyGivenSaturday message stadium pictures thread: http://www.anygivensaturday.com/forum/s ... e=23&pp=10

Right now my pictures are on the second to last page towards the bottom. They're thumbnailed so click on the image to see a larger version.

Couple of questions:
What does it cost you guys to park in the tailgate area?
Do you have assigned spots?

In Missoula I pay $37 a season for a lot pass but it doesn't guarantee that I get the same spot every week....so we always show up early.

If you shell out the $70 a game for an RV space you get the same spot every game. If somebody parks in your assigned spot the facilities folks will have then towed for you. And another thing, with the RV pass you have to pay an extra $70 for each home playoff game that is awarded.

The lot behind the east stands-shown in the photos in this thread is $10 per vehicle, first come first served. They line up the motorhomes and campers along the sides-I think they charge extra to camp overnight. I'm not sure what they do on the "booster" side-I know there are a lot of numbered spaces.

I'm not positive on what the RV cost/game is. But, the area on the booster side (west side) is all within the premium parking area. This means you must be at least a $350 booster (silver I believe) in order to receive the premium parking pass.

It seems to be the best place to let it all hang out before, during, and after barechestcat...at least for the next two games I'll be able to let it all hang out and won't have to come back and frickin' work.

And we'll make sure to bring my bbq up for the beginning from now on too!
