Grace Lutheran on King Street, donation parking.
They allow tailgating also. We Lutherans don't get uptight about folks having a few beers.
That must be why people keep saying it’s the episcopal church!

I thought they did ask for no alcohol with tailgating, but it may be something they ask and do not have any intention of enforcing. But they do allow tailgating set-ups and such.

I personally like Peppers which has been around for 40 years. AND--you game ticket gets you in FREE for the Saturday night men's hoops tilt against the South Florida Bulls. Hoops tipoff is 7 pm.
Have a great time! Go Apps!!
My wife loves the Jean Lawson at Pepper's. 40th Anniversary was last spring I believe (or was it two springs ago?) Either way, good food, local establishment, and owned by App alums.

My dad loved the French Onion Soup.

Mushrooms are a good APPetizer.

Man, I wish I could have Pepper's this weekend. :(
They're catering the Yosef Club room this weekend. Don't know what they'll have, but they're providing the food.
Even without knowing what they will serve I can guarantee it will be good.

I’m sure the wife and I will be at Peppers after the game

I hope to make it to Black Cat before the game.

First Baptist, as previously mentioned is probably the best location for paid lots ($20). It's closest to campus and an easy walk to the stadium. And yes, there's always someone selling tickets on the walk up stadium drive and usually folks hovering around the gates selling as well.

Hey folks, my wife and I decided to spend a long weekend in the Boone area and noticed App State has a home game Saturday (12/2/17). We have decided to attend and cheer on the Mountaineers.

A few questions regarding game day experience:

1) Is there accessible parking available without a parking pass?
2) Are tickets readily available? As in, are there typically people selling at the tailgate areas?
3) Anything cool you recommend us checking out during the tailgate / game?

I appreciate the help!!
The Episcopal Church at the corner of 321 and 421 (East King Street) has parking for a donation of any amount.
Do you mean Grace Lutheran or is there also an Epicopal church very near by as well. I park at Grace often myself. And is donation based.

Yes, Grace Lutheran.

Thanks everyone for the help. Will check out the parking on King street and the Episcopal Church. Looking forward to Saturday!
My mistake. It is Grace Lutheran.

There is also free parking up Bodenheimer at what used to be Broyhill. I believe that one has a shuttle, too.
If serving is beneath you, then leading is beyond you.
