I love this angle. The older I get, the more than is a consideration when visiting Athens establishments. Fortunately, the bathrooms in general, in my opinion anyway, have experienced a significant upgrade in recent years.

As a former employee who had to work some solo happy hour shifts that gave me flashbacks. Anyways there have been some significant remodels in the last 5 years....bathrooms moved to the back and completely new. Most recently the awning/storage over the bar is gone and 4 big screen TVs are now up. It looks great now and much more crowd friendly with the bathrooms in the back. I didn't go in but I heard and peaked through the windows of Pawpurrs that there was a significant remodel there too. Not sure if it was more than cosmetic though.

Claims it's to save money; the fact that he owns tons of stock in Fed Ex is purely coincidence. Last December I made the mistake of mailing our sewer bill a week before it was due. It arrived three weeks late. And that was to Mt. Vernon, just 33 miles from here. We will get by. We will get by. We will get by. We will survive.

RS Bobcat Back to Top TexanMark General User Member Since: 2/9/2019 Post Count: 51 Status: Offline     RE: Football Parking    Posted: 9/6/2021 8:38:29 AM  Here is my after the game report on my experience setting up a tailgate. If you are a cash payer on the day of the game this should help some. I had a group of about 40 fans. We were all without permits as visitors. We set up at Lot 90 next to Morton Hall. It said it was a $5 lot according to Ohio U. on gameday. The lot was about half full 6-7 hours before the 7pm kickoff. Pros: great location, easy walking to Gate 3. We befriended a few Ohio students with food and water. Indoor bathroom actually at the south end of Morton Hall for men. Across the street there was a bathroom for anyone at Nelson Commons by going up the ramp. Another nice feature was about two blocks north was Jefferson Marketplace. We actually picked up two bags of ice. Also, they have three really nice unisex bathrooms. https://www.ohio.edu/food/jefferson-marketplace Cons: Apparently you are not supposed to tailgate there with alcohol. About 75 mins before kickoff a cop shows up and informs us no alcohol is allowed here. He was cool as he saw we were visitors and not making issues. He said we were okay to park in Lot 90 on gameday but not supposed to have alcohol. More cons: no porta-potties are set up anywhere. No attendants to take cash ever showed up. While getting free parking is a pro, wondering if you'll get a ticket or towed is a con. No garbage facilities close by. We carried our trash to dumpsters at the south end of Nelson Commons. Finally, I'm glad I didn't set up at the $10 golf and tennis center lot. It was marked full and it was (golfers and band day?). The clubhouse was also closed for customers. Once again, why does Ohio U. list all these lots? When you can't tailgate at them, you don't set up porta-potties, you don't have them staffed? https://ohiobobcats.com/sports/2021/5/13/gameday-FB-Game-... As a game day cash payer who wants to tailgate it is very confusing. It will be chaos when WV and Cincy fans show up in droves in a few years. OHIO U. you better have a better plan then. Hopefully a local fan has some better info to share in the interim.

So technically, to my knowledge, you're not allowed to have alcohol at any tailgates in any of the game day parking lots (excepting within some of the tents the university sets up for ticketed/controlled access pregame events). You can tailgate anywhere, but the university (could be the city, could be the state for all I know) don't want you doing so with alcohol.

This doesn't help visiting fans or Ohio fans who don't have season passes. If I had to recommend anyone coming to Ohio as a visitor this year...go ahead and look at Morton Hall Parking Lot first if you are coming with a rather small group (under 30). Just keep the alcohol low key and you should be okay. There are a few grassy areas under trees that work nicely.

There's a general "no alcohol" policy on all state facilities in Ohio. My former office couldn't have alcohol at functions held in the office -- even though it rented space in a private office building -- because it's a state facility. Back in the day, I think the only place on campus that served alcohol, and it might've been just beer, was the old Baker Center. We will get by. We will get by. We will get by. We will survive.
