Tailgating at Reser Stadium

Where to park

Stadium lots

V, T, F, W and S wrap the stadium. All reserved for season pass holders, except day-of accessible spaces.

Zone lots

Zones 1, 2 and 3, spread across campus. Sales start 6 hours before kickoff, cash only. Presale passes are sold by zone, not lot.

RV

Reserved RV lots are season passes. The South Farm Lot, south of Hwy 34, is the non-reserved RV overflow.

Accessible

Day-of ADA spaces in the Stadium Lot and the parking structure, sold from 6 hours before kickoff, first come, with a valid placard. Dial-a-Bus runs from the lot at 27th and Arnold.

Shuttles

Fairgrounds, 9th Street and Downtown routes, from 3 hours before kickoff, about every 15 minutes, all dropping on Jefferson Way. Kids 5 and under ride free.

Getting out

1. Take the shuttle back. Return shuttles leave from the same Jefferson Way stops for about an hour after the game.
2. Route around 26th St. It's closed between Washington Way and Western Blvd on game day.
3. Or let the lot empty first. Pack up slow. Nobody's handing out points for being first onto Western Blvd.

The rules

Grills

Allowed in the lots. Attended at all times, with an extinguisher or a big jug of water handy. Never under a tent. Fully out before you leave.

Alcohol

Non-bulk drinks only, in lots not signed closed to tailgating, with food and non-alcoholic drinks out. No kegs without approval. Bulk service stops at halftime.

Open containers

Not on sidewalks and not outside approved lots.

Your space

Saving spots

Not allowed in general lots. Groups should arrive together.

Not allowed

Tailgating or grills in the parking structure. Personal golf carts and utility vehicles.

Re-entry

Leave the lot and you can't drive back in.
