PSU Game Tailgating

[RedSpartan]

Haven't been to a game in a while and have really never tailgated. Three friends and I have tix and want to spend the day grilling and chilling. We don't have a parking pass, from what I understand. Suggestions? Can we just roll into Johnson Park anymore? Best time to get there? Any advice is appreciated. Thanks.

If you get to Johnson Park by 3-4 pm you should be good. Earlier the better obviously as the weather forecast looks good and Penn St will be bringing a LOT of fans.

Go to the RAC.

If you get to Johnson at 3 or 4pm theres no way in hell you're getting in. Honestly, If you get there at noon nothing's promised. And if you do you will be subject to the new $45 fee, (im not sure if you knew about that already). I would suggest you go to the RAC.

What tailgate lot will be more lenient to louder music and general shenanigans (ex: drinking games and people getting loud & having fun). Not saying we will cause trouble, just don't want to be booted out. Should I go Johnson Park or the RAC Parking lot area?

Go to the Greek Church?

The RAC, which Rutgers controls should be more lenient than Johnson Park which Middlesex County controls. For the Michigan game I had people try to go to the park at 3 PM and it was already filled. They lost a lot of time by not going directly to the RAC.

The RAC lot

Do people actually tailgate at the RAC lot though? I have a large group (~30 ppl) for tailgating but we want to be in a fun environment (we plan on having music/speakers, drinks, etc). Would you still suggest the RAC or is Johnson park better?

Yes, they do.
