Georgia 'Dawgs set new rules to tackle tailgate trash

Well, here is the scoop for you, UGA football fans on tailgating. Apparently due to more than a few slobs, you now will have limited access to North Campus on game days as part of new rules intended to prevent damage to that historical part of campus.
Tailgating on North Campus can begin only four hours before kickoff, according to the rules the UGA Cabinet released Thursday. Tailgaters also will be barred from bringing tents, kegs, generators, grills and other items to that area on game days.
University officials have been targeting tailgaters and their trash since the Sept. 12 home game when fans dumped about 70 tons of garbage and left mounds of tents, grills, coolers and chairs across the beloved North Campus. Some even urinated on public buildings and defecated outside.
President Michael Adams said the new rules seek to maintain the tradition of tailgating while preserving a historic section of campus. Adams said he still wants fans to be on campus and enjoy the games.
"We just don’t want them to destroy the campus in the process," he said during a media briefing. Shame for shame on you.
