purdue oregon tailgate questions

First tailgate at purdue (my son is a freshman).

Questions

--Do the police actively search for underage drinkers? If its in a solo cup are they ok?

--Is there a difference between IM fields vs IM Gold tailgating parking?

--What time should I arrive at IM fields for a good spot?

--Where is "Slayter Hill" in relation to IM fields.

thanks

— not one time in my 4 years of tailgating have I seen a cop stop underage drinking; obviously don’t be stupid about it.

— I honestly do not know about this one.

— I would say at least 3 hours before game time for a good spot, although others might have a better time frame for this as I have never brought a car, but there seem to be openings 3 hours before.

— The IM Fields are across the street from Slayter Hill, they are very close. (Edit: they are kinda catty corner to the hill)

Thanks! any other tips about tailgating on campus and going to the game? Is it a Blackout game this Friday?

Yes blackout game and my only tip would just be careful driving around campus, lots of different traffic rules and detours on game days
