Hi Zarquon,

Thanks for the ideas - keep 'em coming. As it stands, we are looking at several options for the home opener. That includes the possibility of an organized (and peaceful) protest to bring some awareness to this issue.

The landowner (or potential buyer) is perfectly within their rights to apply for a rezoning and the loss of a few tailgaters wouldn't be a deciding factor as far as the planning department is concerned (and they make the recommendation to council).

I feel a better angle would be to appeal to Concord's sense of "community decency" (if they have such a thing). Quoting from stories such as our groups serving of a pancake breakfast to over 200 people (including some of the homeless that frequent the site) at last year's Western Final might turn some heads.

They need to understand that our activities are not meant to hurt anything/one, cause problems, or be in any way detrimental towards them.

I think we should take a positive attitude towards solving this, and turn the heat up if we don't get anywhere.

We still q'd up some meat and swilled some beers, and I only had to pay $6 to park. No big deal. I knew i'd be a nomadic TG'er sooner or later.

Yeah....we had a tiny tailgater, and the 6 bucks to park was very reasonable. Security was great and had no issues with us.

Long live the gypsy tailgaters!!!

I feel once the community and local media become fully aware of the perspective of the situation, and weigh in on the decision to terminate the tailgaters, this may yet be reversed in the favour of Lionbackers everywhere both local and visiting. :cr:
