Tailgates at Bowl games, games in Dallas, Houston, and many other places have been like this, nothing new, at least 20 years that I can think of off the top of my head.

That's why I put this little guy in my OP --->

I didn't see it, my bad.

$50 for one game is a little steep especially with the always a bunch of ******** by the Texas Exes that it is about Scholarships........Texas Exes are one group that I wish I could get my Life Membership money back from, what a fraud they are......

WTH, major? You said in the other thread that you and your 39 other tailgating friends each pay $100 to tailgate and that you're excited about paying $580 - $1440 - $2400 PER GAME for one of the new packages, so why is $50-60 for this one an issue?

They awarded $1.9 million to 600 students in 2013

$100/season jackwagon not for one game, man some people are just ******* panty wastes!!!!

Sounds like you could earn some extra money, wanta clean out our porta potty?

 

[Mesohorny]

You guys are paying $4000 a season (40 X $100). That'll buy y'all 6-7 tailgates of Package A at $580 PER GAME (don't forget to bring extra chairs - you'll only get 6 - and your food, ice, and drinks), maybe 3 of Package B if someone kicks in an extra $300 (don't forget to bring food and drinks), or nearly two of Package C. For the entire season.

Unless you guys are willing to pony up a lot more than what you've been paying for these new high-dollar tailgates, you're SOL.

Or is this math to difficult for you?

You may be the one needing to clean out some porta potties to pay for the money train, jackass.

Surely we understand the difference between the University trying to rape people for thousand for a 10'x10' of concrete
and a nonprofit organization hosting a fund raising event?
As has been pointed out the Exes host events in their own city whether it is Houston Dallas Kansas city etc. There is a HUGE ton of volunteer work to stage these events and the money does go to a good cause.

What Patterson is doing IMO is unnecessary and ******.
