Welcome to Rutgers Mr. Hobbs and Coach Ash. It was announced late yesterday that after just two home games, the student tailgate section “The Alley”, which was run by the athletic department, is shutting down moving forward.
As you can imagine, this did not go over well with the student body and it caused a lot of reactions online. More concerning is the fact that there is now a petition on change.org organized by students, encouraging other students to boycott football home games until “the Alley” is reinstated. As of this writing, over 1,700 students had signed, with a goal of 2,500.
