MSU Canopy For Tailgating
Looking for a canopy for tailgating. I found one at Campus Den, but they wanted $225 (and it was already unpackaged/setup), which seemed a little pricey to me. Anyone know where I can find these for less than $200? Anyone have any experience with the quality of these vs. the EZ-UP brand models?
I sort of like the white with  logo that I've seen at gameday tailgates, but wouldn't mind the green with white logo either. TIA.

Thanks, but already been there. Found one for a pretty reasonable price on eBay.
I was hoping more for information about what stores carry these and/or for those who own(ed) one, what the quality is like.

quality is okay, not as good as some of the more premium ones you can buy (and will pay more for) I know I saw them at Target and Dicks last year, haven't seen any around this year. Im in the market for one myself but was just gonna try to snag one off a website.

Thanks. I was hoping I could find one at a Target store. The Okemos Target didn't have one, at least that I could find, yesterday.

 Figures, I'm on the other side of the state. Thanks for posting though. I guess there's hope that there might be some in other Walmart locations around the state.

They have this service....store to store. If another store has what you want, they can ship it to your store. You should check into it.

Thanks, Mindi! The stores in the Detroit-area seem to only stock scUM merchandise (perhaps because ...  ) and their employees were not able (willing) to look up stock at another store without a SKU.
However, I called around and found them at a Walmart a little further up I-75. Sure enough, marked down to $97! The best is that they rang up at $75!!!! I brought home two of those bad boys!
Thanks again.

Thanks, going to drive up there tomorrow night.
Hopefully they have 2 left. You are talking the Walmart off Dort Highway, correct?

That's the one. They're right on a main aisle across from the sporting goods/hunting supplies. Look for the black bags with wheels.
They also have chairs marked down to $15.
Good luck!
