Public or Semi-Public tailgates for OSU

Submitted by 1464 on

Good evening, gentlemen.

I will be attending the tailgate for the OSU game this year.  It is my first OSU game, and I plan to get into the area by roughly 8am.  I will be accompanied by a +1, either my Michigan fan cousin or my wife, who is unfortunately an OSU fan.  

What are my options to set up shop so that I don't wander around like a drifter for 4 hours.  I'd be willing to stop by any MGoTailgates or any public tailgates.  Regardless of who I bring, we'll be good attendees and B.O.O.B.
