For this season, let’s don’t tailgate, guys. “Yeah, we want everyone to have a good time but this is unusual times and this is extraordinary things that we have to do. Is it just a bad idea for anybody to try to go down there and think that they’re going to claim some piece of land and have a good time before the football game? I’m glass half-full kind of guy and I’m just amazed that we could get to this point with a lot of hard work and a lot of stipulations in place to make sure we can do it safely, that we can do it in a healthy fashion,” Woodward explained.įans are passionate about tailgating. Couldn’t be more happy for where we started to where we are to playing, so as you well know, I’m an optimistic guy. “An old-timer gave me a great piece of advice and it’s a country saying, ‘Pigs get fat and hogs get slaughtered.’ I’m happy with being a pig and I’m a happy pig right now. Fans love those things almost as much as the football game itself. There will also be no walk down Victory Hill and the Golden Band from Tigerland is not going to hit those four notes on the field before the game. On the other hand, only 25,000 fans will be allowed in the stadium and there’s no tailgating. Obviously, some people say, ‘Don’t be greedy.’ On one hand, fans are excited the team is playing at all.
