The number of people Editorial who actually made it to Saturday’s game was lower than last year. Last year’s attendance at the first home football game was 7,111 compared to this year’s 5,430. These figures don’t imply that the tailgating event wasn’t a success because a lot of people in the parking lot never made it inside O’Brien Stadium to cheer for their athletic team. This is the first time Eastern has promoted alcohol at tailgating. In the past, it has turned into one big kegger, according to Kidwell. The goal for tailgating this time is to encour- age small-group activities to keep everyone under control. This way would be safer and stu- dents can enjoy the luxuries of cooking out and mingling with others. Tailgating also provides an incentive for the community to come out and interact with the stu- dents. And tailgating does not necessarily have to involve alcohol. Students have other alternatives to practice the art of tailgating by chipping golf balls on the football practice field, throwing Frisbees and grilling outside. The Charleston and University Police Departments haven’t reported any alcohol-relat- ed accidents, meaning students and community members were responsible with their actions Saturday. This type of responsibility should pour over to the other tailgating fiestas for the rest of the season.
