Within the past ?3? years they've restricted your start time to only 4 hours before kickoff....if Carolina is starting as 7am then it sounds as though they've got no such rule.

Been goin to the Planitarium since....WELL before the rule change. Pretty much parked and firing the grill up by 6:30-7am was the game plan before rule. Now, with the 4 hour restriction....things are a lot more tighter.

haven't used the planetarium lot.. but will say 31st and the hospital have not enforced the 4 hours before 'rule", and we set up by 6:00am with no trouble and at 2:00pm for a monday night event game without questions or problems both this year and last year. that was why asking- i had not heard of them enforcing it, but as never used the planetrium lot, that stinks if still doing it..

do you take those pictures yourself? all of them?

I know I've told my story here before, so I'll spare you the fine details....

Basically a SW Ohio guy my whole life. Buddy I grew up with became a Lions fan about the same time I became a Bears fan (mid / late-80's). So since '98 or '99 (always a debate as to when the tradition started) we've been goin to the Bears v. Lions game. Making the trip from SW Ohio to the Planetarium to have some of the best Tailgating in the land.

They enforce the 4 hour rule pretty hard too. Like I said, went from firing the grill up at 6:30 one year, to being stuck in a LARGE car line around the loop of the Planetarium till 7:59....couldn't even fire the grill up till close to 8:30.

We make the best out of it, but that extra 2 hours was hard to lose.
