"6. Unless otherwise designated, site setup may begin no earlier than noon on "set-up day," (the day immediately preceding a NCAA-recognized campus sporting event).
Claiming tailgate areas prior to noon on "set-up day" is prohibited. Any tailgating materials left on site before setup day may be removed without notice. Please contact Aggieland Tailgating at 979-862-7547 to reclaim materials."
Thanks for the link. No - rules don't say anything about strings, or any other method of claiming an area. But any non-moron would understand that a stringed-off, roped-off, or otherwise claimed area is indeed a claimed area. And claiming an area starts on the Friday before the game at noon. So when you and your friends do what you do, you are taking over someone else's claimed area and messing with others' claimed areas as well. It's bush-league and 2%er and you should know better. But alas, you do not.
