We are new to the mountaineer family, so where is the best place to tailgate on game day? Our family absolutely loves the coaching staff, school, and the Boone area. And most of all we are truly excited to see our kid suit up and deliver some pancakes.

Welcome to the family! I imagine you'll be getting family tickets through your son (congratulations!).

Have you joined the Yosef Club yet? If you can swing that at the $250 level (if I recall correctly), you'll get a parking pass for either the Library (pronounced Liberry around here ) deck or the Rivers St deck. Of course, as your Yosef donation increases, your parking changes. I believe most of the Stadium lot is now $2500+.

Tailgating is great everywhere. I'm already looking forward to the family reunion that happens at each game. We've parked close to the same folks for years now and really do enjoy hanging out together. You'll find folks all over campus to be quite welcoming. Wherever you tailgate, you'll make friends quickly.

You may want to ask your son to ask his teammates where their parents park and then try to hook up with them. You could also do something as simple as making a pan of brownies and then just tagging on with any tailgate in town. We have all sorts of folks tailgate with us each year.

If you have questions about Yosef, feel free to ask here or send me a PM.

Again, welcome to the family!

Daphne, isn't the Library deck, first come- first serve with a parking pass? If not, I'm a gonna get me one.

Yes, both Liberry and Rivers St decks are what is called "festival" parking. That translates into first come - first serve.

You've got to donate a bit more to get priority numbered parking.

Thought so. Festival seating is what got an investment entity I owned a bankrupting law suit over. I can see me playing push and shove vs a big SUV with my little Altima.

Not much more than the rest of us will in watching him.

Thanks for the responses and the warm welcome. We are planning on joining the Yosef club and look forward to meeting everyone. He checked into the dorm Sunday,so we had a chance to meet a lot of the other freshmen. This class has a ton of potential and I believe the coaching staff will bring out the best in all of them. The offensive line class will be very fun to watch after a year or two in the weight room. I'm also very impressed with the coaching staff. They truly care about the kids and the fans. And they are very confident about the upcoming season,so expect good things this year.

It's not a problem if one tailgates properly ... that is hours and hours before kickoff.

If you get a Liberry pass, as long as you're there at least 2 hours before kickoff, you should be fine..

Our group is on the very top of the deck by 9am at the absolute latest -- come say hey!

Stop by the Duncan Lot (spots 22-30) and hang out with our group of 20+. Some of the parents of the players hang out with us, plus you will get to see your son walk by during the Mountaineer Walk. We have a lot of fun. Always have and always will.

We will be there. And we are looking forward to meeting everyone. Thank you for all of the invites. We know he made the right decision choosing Appalachian State.

You are welcome to come by stadium spot 320 any time. Been there since they graded the gravel lot and found pavement in Boone.

No thanks. I might run into Gonzo and have to pour a beer on him.

Just don't get it on my jorts.

You can usually find me at Big C's, in jorts, surrounded by beautiful women.

Must be the kind of women who will hang around with anybody.

I watched his highlight reel. Wow! The O-line will be stronger for his presence. He's fortunate to have a Coach like Dwayne Ledford, too.
