The safety of students and visitors is paramount to the University; therefore, these guidelines are established for tailgating:

• Tailgating is allowed only in parking lots A and G, which will be marked by signs. These lots are adjacent to Ten Mile Road. Cost is $10 per vehicle (cash) on a first-come, first-served basis.
• Tailgating begins four hours before the start of any home football game and ends no later than the scheduled kickoff. Typically, tailgate lots open at 8 or 9 a.m.
• Alcoholic beverages are limited to single-serve, non-glass containers. No beer kegs or other common source containers are permitted.

• Individuals consuming alcohol may be asked to provide legal identification and proof of age to campus safety officers, student affairs staff or local law enforcement.
• Carrying an open container of alcohol on public streets or sidewalks is illegal, regardless of age. When guests leave the designated tailgate area, they must leave alcoholic beverages in the designated tailgate area.

• Playing games that involve consumption of alcohol or use alcohol-related paraphernalia is strictly prohibited, including but not limited to beer pong, flip cup, shotgunning, etc.
• No alcoholic beverages may be taken into any athletic facility or sporting event area.
