Is there going to be a Syracusefan tailgate for the Yankee Stadium game?

Or at least a tailgate to the extent that you could have one in the Bronx. I saw that tickets went on sale today so I got horny for SU FB.

There will certainly NOT be a tailgate from the SyraCRUZ/Fine Mess tailgate crew.

There also will most likely NOT be a get together organized by them either

Your best bet is to go to the Dugout across the street from the stadium.

East end grill, then roll up to the stadium

If we didn't play in the Pinstripe last year and Maui wasn't happening...there probably would be something at a nearby restaurant. I fear a lot of 315 fans are not going this year for a few reasons.

I know MetLife sort of sucks but the commutability and tailgate ability means I still much prefer it over yankee stadium

Commutability to Yankee Stadium is a breeze. Met Life is set up better for tailgating, and of course, football, I’ll give you that. Personally, I’d much rather have a train drop me off on the doorstep of Yankee Stadium.

I’ll put it this way, if the game was at MetLife there more than likely would be a very solid tailgate for this game

YMMV. I went to the yankee game this weekend. It took 1 2 1/2 hours to drive in from central NJ, and an hour and a half to get home for what is now a 2 1/2 hour baseball game. I'd do the train if it was a direct shot from NJ. It's a pain in the ass with the transfers and honestly not a whole lot quicker for me (maybe the same 90 minutes door to door as the return drive).

Met Life is certainly closer to CNJ (as I am a resident of the 732 myself) but I don’t mind taking the train to Penn Station and the subway up to the Bronx. For me it’s a lot less stressful than getting in and out of Met Life. It may take a little longer, but to me it’s worth it.

Yes, because Giants Stadium (sorry, old school) is an actual football stadium.

This.

I have been to at least 50 college football venues in my life. The worse, by a huge margin, is Yankee Stadium (if you can even call it a football venue).

I don't hate the Yankees and as a baseball stadium, that facility is top notch.

But it is a horrendous place for watching football games.

Please SUAD, never ever ever ever ever ever ever ask Syracuse fans to watch a football game there again.

To quote the late, great Don Ohlmeyer of NBC Sports, "the answer to all your questions is money." This is a perfect example in that we gave up a home game for this.

Yep, Giant Stadium or Buffalo (whatever that's called now) would have better. Yankee Stadium is just a fools errand for football
