You're going to have a few challenges, but they're all solvable if you are legitimate. Here's where I see some hurdles to your request:

1) You're asking for someone that doesn't know you to spend over $2000. Conversely, you're going to give a lot of money to someone you don't know, which seems like a bad idea.
2) You'll need 2 parking spots that you want to be "good" for the biggest home game of the year for the defending national champions. My estimate is that that'll run you $500-$1000. It'll also be extremely difficult (if not impossible) to find 2 spots together in any of the premium spots.
3) You'd need to put down a security deposit equal to the cost of the tailgating equipment that you are essentially renting 1 time to guarantee against your guests damaging the 'rental' equipment.

Your estimated costs: $1,000 for 2 good parking spots, $500 for 2 tents & 8 chairs, $500+ for food and drinks, $500 fee for setup/services, and finally that $500 security deposit for the 1-time use rental.

That's $3k, site unseen, for an unprofessionally catered 5-6 hour event. Certainly it's doable. But why would you?

You can buy parking passes here on Tigernet using the ticket forum. You can fly into town 1 day early and make a run to Walmart. You can buy everything you want 10 minutes away and then you can just leave it where you used it (or give it to someone or whatever). Ask us for advice on where you should park based on what you're willing to spend. I think you'll find everyone's really friendly and will freely offer their insights. But, for your first post here, this request seems a little bit extreme.

Good luck!
