[QUOTE="gtg970g, post: 445981, member: 2842"] Yes the supporter's groups put on tailgates and no they don't loose money. In fact they donate any profits to soccer organizations around Atlanta. Yes they have insurance. They are very professionally run organizations and tailgates. They feed and entertain hundreds of people each, similar to how I imagine the Peter's tailgate will be. I believe this entire venture of providing a walk-up tailgate was initiated because of our seeing AU tailgates before games at BDS last season. They had an entire parking lot next to the Varsity (an expense the GTAA will not have due to having an entire campus open to hosting tailgates) with the 4 supporters groups tailgating. A tailgate before games at BDS is as apples to apples are you are going to get. It can be done for less without sacrificing quality. Like I said previously I can understand why they may want to start off smaller to test the waters but there's no reason this can't be taken to a larger scale with a lower cost option in the future. On a slightly unrelated note the availability of a walk up tailgate allows patrons to take mass transit to the event without sacrificing the tailgate experience. Many younger people want to take Marta instead of driving to events and this will give them that option. The trains are packed for AU games like I have never seen them for GT games. [/QUOTE]
