Purdue opens its lots 8 hours before kickoff, never earlier than 8 a.m., and closes them 2 hours after the game or at midnight, whichever comes first. Grills have to be propane with a tank no bigger than 20 lbs, charcoal, fryers, glass and kegs are all banned, and your tailgate stays directly behind your car. That's a long day in the lot, so pace yourself.
