TAILGATE LOT PACKAGEs

For the 2025 season, we are offering packages in the following university parking lots:

• Stadium Lot
• Joyce Lot
• North Lots (Library Lot)
• Bookstore Lot

All of our Tailgate Lot Packages include delivery, setup, and takedown as a part of the package price. We begin our deliveries right when the lots open at 8am. Our team will cart your equipment package directly to your vehicle and set up the equipment when you arrive.

At kick-off, our team returns to take care of cleanup—so when you leave the game, everything is packed up and taken care of.

Any personal items left at your tailgate at kick-off will be disposed of. Please plan accordingly. Tailgating is not allowed during the game per University Policy.

Choose to have your package set up next to your vehicle, or let us reserve a space for you in advance. While we can’t guarantee exact spots or specific locations, if you’d like to select your own, we recommend arriving with your vehicle on Gameday and choosing your space when the lots open.

Tailgate Packages With a Vehicle
Once you arrive in the lot, text a photo of your location, vehicle description, nearest pole number, and we will bring you your tailgate package.

Tailgate Packages Without a Vehicle
We have designated spots in either Joyce or Stadium lot where we set up your tailgate package. Parking passes must be either sent to us or we can help source through aftermarket resellers.

NOTE: Tailgates with no vehicle are not available in the North/Library Lots. 

No vehicle tailgates start at 8:30AM for day games and 9:30AM for night games.

Parking passes are not included in our package prices, but we’re happy to help you add one to your order. Prices vary based on the lot, game, time of year, and other factors. A pass can be added at any time—before or after you complete your purchase.

We partner Taphouse on the Edge to offer you your choice of beverage for your gameday experience. Your order will be available at our concierge tent in the Stadium/Walsh lot at 9:00 AM.

You will be required to provide valid identification before accepting your order. Our staff will help you transport your beverages to your tailgate and help stock your coolers.
