The addition of downtown tailgating will create a viable game-day alternative that could be come a tradition, according to Henderson.

“We all know demand will remain steady, if not rise,” she said.

The idea is to keep tailgating for the first two games simple, since there’s only a few days between them, Ginsburg said.

The third game is scheduled for five weeks later, allowing for adjustments to ensure a better tailgating experience, he said. There is the possibility of live music before and after the game, an influx of food carts, and children’s activities.

Depending on the way things pan out, the addition of an inflatable screen could be used to show games live, Ginsburg said.

“We’re hoping everyone will be self-sufficient for the first two games,” he said. “There will be a big learning curve.”

Henderson said they have spoken with Extraco Events Center director Wes Allison, who has offered to design the site plan and provide management for the site. He will train a team to handle everything, she said.

Henderson said they would contract with an agency — possible the city or sheriff’s office — for additional security and cleanup.
