Anyone know what the best Tailgating spot is?
For anyone going, I compiled some info from Duke's website today

Blue text are lots where you can tailgate. The GC & H lots are a short shuttle ride towards the stadium. Jogging Lot is closest but will likely fill up quickly in the AM.
If you're looking for things to do:
Breweries: Ponysaurus, Fullsteam, High Wire, and Clouds are all cool places. There are some others too.
Casual Food: Heavenly Buffaloes (delicious wings), Dane's; Bull City (burgers), The Federal (divey American), Pizzeria Toro, many others
Breakfast / Brunch: Guglhopf, Fosters Market, Parker and Otis
On Campus: Chapel, Cameron Indoor, beautiful West Campus all around, East has a nice walking path around the perimeter (note this is ~1.5 miles from the stadium / West Campus, but there are shuttles that run btw the two), Sarah Duke Gardens
Around Town: Bulls Stadium, not too far from Chapel Hill
My recommendations are from my personal experience, and I'm sure I'm missing a lot. I went to Duke for a year but the tailgate scene was something else when I was there, so I needed to do some add'l research. Hope to see some of you out there!
