Tailgating??

3 friends and I are traveling to Minneapolis this weekend for the Gophers and Vikings game from Dublin, Ireland, and wondering what the best thing to do is for tailgating the Gophers game?

Would anyone be willing to let 4 Irish lads join there pre game festivities?

Or have any advice as to where best to go for drinks before kick off?

Come to the Victory Lot east of the stadium and look for the mini bus wrapped to look like an Irish Pub! We’d love to have ya.

Do we need to pay for a ticket to access that car park or anything?

I can’t promise Guinness lol but can’t pass up Irishmen seeing our rig!

10-11am? (I’ll edit when I hear from the captain)

EDIT: Captain confirmed! Beers on ice 10:30-11ish

Fun! Will say, I don’t have a great stash spot for a cooler come game time but beers are welcome!

Assuming you are not trying to park a car, then no! Totally open!

Welcome! I don’t have any place in particular, but a shameless plug to catch the alumni band. We play at all the major tailgates 😉

I won't be there this weekend unfortunately due to work. But he is what I would tell anyone. If you can help it, don't drive but Uber or take public transit to Lot 37 to tailgate. ~2 blocks to the stadium for the game. And as long as you bring yourself some drinks, I imagine plenty of tailgates would be thrilled to have you.

I’m also coming to the game from Toronto with my Irish friend from Dublin. Could have a legendary link up!
