Off Topic - Experience tailgating in Lot 26 north of campus

[AustinHorn13]

Sorry for the off topic post (mods please delete if not allowed), but my family and I were going to go up to Austin to tailgate for the Ohio State game.  The only spot we can get will be in Lot 26 north of campus, across from the intramural fields (701 West 51st Street).  Has anyone ever tailgated there and can tell me what the experience was like?  I'm mainly wanting to make sure that it will be a good gameday tailgating experience.  A few of our attendees will have tickets, but most will stay at the tailgate to watch the game.

Thats a long way from the stadium. I’ve never tailgated up there but do know that on big games like this there will be a ton of tailgates going on and people are there to have fun. The best tailgating you’re going to get is Dean Keaton and south to about 17th st.  OTF has had a tailgate with surly horn the last couple of years and is a lot of fun plus it’s close to the stadium. Around that area there’s a lot of people that just hang out and watch next to the stadium.
