Where do you tailgate?
Am curious where most MGoBlog posters tailgate when going to games.
I'm going to guess a majority of the answers will be on the golf course.
Every single Michigan game that I have gone to, I have tailgated at Jack's lot. It's across the street from the West side of The Big House on South Main and is the second empty lot on Potter Ave.
As I am an itinerant drinking person with no particular attachments save for a family and employment and no vehicle which could hope to suit a sizeable tailgate, I will tailgate wherever people will take me in. Typically though, I will make my weekly homage to the tailgate of my next door neighbor growing up, the man who introduced a little LSA to the magic of Michigan.
AAGO for the better part of the last 20 years. Right behind the clubhouse. https://www.facebook.com/groups/mgotailgate/
That was the picture John U Bacon used in his "Sellouts to Handouts" article he wrote last year. That's my brother Charlie in the white shirt and the beard facing the camera and the guy to his left who is standing by the M flag is the host David. And everybody there are Michigan Dentists.
I'm not in the picture because it was taken last year. Had it been taken from 1988 to 2013 I would've been the tall drunk guy festooned in M gear from head to toe.

Ann Arbor Golf & Outing. The closer of the two golf courses to the stadium. The U of M course is tempting because the price is lower.

AAGO. Love it there. Parked at Pioneer for years, but moved to AAGO a few years back and havnt parked anywhere else since. Lots more room to tailgate over there. Pioneer seems to pack em in like sardines anymore. Still have to make a walk over to Pioneer for a Beer 30 shotgun each gameday though. Regardless of where you tailgate, you're in Ann Arbor on a fall Saturday. What could be better than that? Nothing!
From converted ambulances, to trailers with all the amenities, to BBQ, bars and music. I have been looking at these for some time now and need to pull the trigger.
We used to tailgate in the Grey lot but, now are relegated to the Brown lot. :(
Golf Course ...if closed due to rain/weather, we go to Scio Church or somewhere in the neighborhood just West of M Stadium.
Took over 2hrs to get from our spot back home (normally a 7min drive) after UTL #1
and on 3rd and Mosely for the not so big ones. Sadly there have been too many at 3rd and Mosely lately.
West Side United Methodist, on 7th near Pauline.
I have a favorite yard I park in on Pauline. Love the atmosphere in that neighborhood on gameday.

Since I graduated in 1990, I'd always tailgated at the "Victory Lane" Self-service car wash at the corner of Stimson and State Street.... but that just shows how long it's been since I've been to a game in person because my understanding is that place has been gone for years.
