Tent City 2015 has been established. Campers have been lined up across the street for days, camping out to get a better spot to camp out for Big Blue Madness tickets. Only at Kentucky!
A record 760 tents circled Memorial Coliseum and the Joe Craft Center for last year’s campout, helping to sell out tickets to Big Blue Madness in less than 30 minutes. The number of campers is expected to be less this year due to construction projects on campus, limiting the space for Tent City.
Hundreds lined up to dash for a space:

Michele Chamberland WKYT here. The rain didn’t stop hundreds of fans from lining up to get tickets to Big Blue Madness. Here’s a look at the rush this morning at five when the “official” campout began. Tickets won’t be handed out until Friday night.

I think it’s fair to say these ladies have the smallest tents for this year’s Big Blue Madness camp out. #BBMCampout pic.twitter.com/4ijuF3KcMk
