Chuck Moore, an ’Bl University alumnus, has been a season ticket holder for 30 years and his days of parking on campus were over after he bought two parking spaces at Tailgate Park —a tailgating area on Pope Street. “I had permitted parking at Hull Street, but the parking became tightened to a point where it wasn’t fun to tailgate anymore,” Moore said. “The restrictions around the parking everything from the space to set up your tail gate to just being cramped and crowded, and in some respects even being harassed by the local authorities became very frus trating for me.” Chris Cupples. owner and devel oper of Tailgate Station and Bulldog Park, said the intent was to create tailgating areas where University fans can own a parking space for football season.

Some of the amenities at Tailgate Station include a shuttle to and from the game, an enter tainment pavilion, bathrooms and oversized parking spaces.
