Florida was a screw up all around! 

This was not a great home game year. 

I could be in for a grand for LBJ lawn tailgates, though it is hard to think that we cannot charge enough for them to pay for themselves.

I appreciate all of the work you have been doing, @immamac  Amazing host.

I think it's just really too much of a burden for a single person who isn't doing it full time. Lol
I'm not sure that someone has to do it full time but it certainly is way too much to handle for one person. That's lots of logistics and liability (especially financially) for one or two guys yo handle.
To me, you kicked ass and had one horrible event that flipped you upside-down.
I think you can use your knowledge and experience to turn this into a business (at least a little revenue to make it worthwhile).

20k on Florida still 8-10k loss on home schedule and that was with a very generous donation to kick things off.

Again, the product of one man taking on too much. It could also be that the menu you typically had was not cost efficient and probably had a good amount of leftover waste. From the outside you wanted top tier food and beverage but pre-sales/walk-up sales is more like a typical friendly tailgate.
I have a feeling you could streamline some finger eats and economical beer/alcohol to have about the same turnout.
Again, you did an awesome job. If you move forward I'll think you'll need to decide if you want this to be a Surly Horns friendly gathering or promote it as a top tier tailgate party.

You have done an incredible otherworldly job.

I'm perfectly happy to hang out with a case of beer, some tacos, and a Tv as long as I'm with fellow Longhorns.
