<p>I know that “Duke Tailgate” was cancelled in 2010, but do students still hang out and tailgate before football/basketball games? Thanks</p>
<p>Old Tailgate for football was cancelled. Duke is now putting on “New Tailgate” which (from what I’ve heard) is not nearly the same thing. New Tailgate involves hanging out in K-Ville where they have music and face painting and space/grills available for groups who want it. That’s for football games. For basketball games, all the students have to line up prior to the game for hours upon hours in K-Ville, so yes, there is still hanging out there.</p>
<p>Hey so its in main quad and there are groups with tents and a DJ and there’s frisbee cornhole and drinking</p>
<p>Easiest explanation:</p>
<p>The messy bacchanalia that was once was “Tailgate” is no more. </p>
<p>What we have now is closer to the traditional experience of “tailgating”: grilling, corn hole, drinking, etc. “Tailgating” is associated with football and occurs on both the main quad and K-ville. Similar activities occur before basketball games but are mostly restricted to K-ville.</p>
<p>Oh, how times have changed since 2010.</p>
