Change any of the rituals/traditions before games for Tiger fans or for those who casually cheer for them during bye weeks?

 

For instance do you still intend to have your weekly ritual of Check's before your games now that your stadium isn't right across the street?

 

What affect might this have on the culture of St. X athletics?

Tailgate in the parking lot instead of Checks. I hope I can take a grill.

This is a topic that has drawn some interest from X fans. The culture of St. X football is, in some ways, unique. (I am sure this is true for most successful programs). X played in the largest high school stadium in the state, an old stadium that was steeped in tradition. X was a tenant in the stadium. It was located in an older, somewhat insular neighborhood. There are a number of restaurant/watering holes nearby, some owned by X people, that have been in business for decades, or even more than a half century. X fans, parents and players gathered at those locations, not just on game nights, and the topic of conversation was often athletic exploits, some of which occurred 50 or 60 years ago. Legends were burnished and grew in the retelling. All of these factors contributed to make the X football experience different from most school's experiences.

The new stadium brings promise of new rituals and traditions. It is impossible to forecast where they will lead. However, it would be a pity, not just for X, but for Louisville and Kentucky high school football,, to witness a wholesale abandonment of all of the old traditions and rituals.

From what I've heard, tailgating will not be allowed.

Why can't you tailgate with KFC and sprite?

Brats, burgers and refreshments are all part of my pregame. I will bring my own grill and looking forward to the fun...

It'll turn out OK...bet on that.

Ox, have you heard this from persons in authority, or is it scuttlebut?

 

Trinity fans-I have attended three games at the new stadium, but do not recall if there is tailgating. (I've seen a lot of tail kicking-by T- of their opponents:D). If there is tailgating permitted, how has it worked out?

I'm afraid that this comes from a very high authority.

From the few games I attended at T, didn't really see any tailgating. Only a few high school kids listening to some loud music.

I for one will still be going to Flabby's and Check's pre and post game and throw a trip to Vito's in there as well. I just have not figured out the parking deal yet!

Im thinking that Germantown Ball Park as a very good "tailgate" venue. If we are "not allowed" there, then we will try George Rogers Park..... I know St. X does not own that.... Besides, people cook out and grill at the park all the time.... Whats the problem folks.

As long as you are not doing it on St. X. property, there is no problem. George Rogers Clark Park is about to become a lot more popular.

It will still go down...and end up OK...just wait and see.,

I will be at Check's for my meal on the 24th of August.
