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 will come back to clean up your tailgate. When you come out of the game, all of the equipment will be gone and cleaned up.

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 either have us set up your package next to your vehicle or have us reserve the space for you ahead of time. We cannot guarantee certain spots or a specific location. If you want to choose your specific location or parking space, we suggest that you drive in with a vehicle and choose it yourself when the lots open on Gameday.

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 get into the lot and reserve the space for you and setup 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, however, we are happy to help you acquire one and add it on to your order after your purchase. Parking pass prices vary depending on the parking lot, game, time of year purchased, and many other factors. We can add on a parking pass before or after you pay for your package.

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 at the Tailgate Lawn or 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.
