Ann Arbor Golf and Outing recently announced new regulations for parking on its golf course on University of Michigan home football Saturdays. These new regulations can be viewed here. (http://www.mlive.com/news/ann-arbor/index.ssf/2009/06/ann_arbor_golf_outing_club_tig.html.)

The parking changes will effectively prevent tailgators from tailgating in locations where they have been doing so for decades. The rules will also eliminate large tailgates that involve numerous -- sometimes dozens of cars. Michigan football is about family and tradition. These regulations are contrary to both.

The purpose of this petition is to alert Ann Arbor Golf and Outing to the outrage of its loyal customers (some of us have been parking there for decades)and to elicit a change in the new regulations.
