Where will paid tailgating be hosted?
Paid tailgating will be hosted in Lots A & B located directly behind the ASRC. Lot A will have spots available to reserve at $30 per spot, and Lot B will be $20 per spot.
When does tailgating begin and end?
Attendees will be allowed entrance into tailgating Lots A and B no sooner than 8:30AM on the day of Homecoming (10/19/24), and tailgating will end 1 hour after the football game ends. We will have local PD and Ohio County Sheriff’s officers available throughout the day to help with traffic. *No vehicular entrance into the tailgating lots after 11:00AM.
Will tents, tables, or any other furniture be provided for me?
Unfortunately, due to liability and staffing reasons we are not able to provide, rent, or set up any type of tent, table, or furniture for our tailgaters. Though these items are still permitted at the tailgating sites, attendees will have to supply and maintain these furnishing on their own.
How big are the reserved spaces?
Each parking space available for reservation is 9’ wide by 18’ long. When you reserve a space, this is what you will have available to you. We ask that if you plan on bringing tables, tents, chairs, etc. you plan accordingly to keep your belongings confined to the space/s you rent. We also ask that you be mindful of keeping the roadway clear. It is important to leave space for emergency services, maintenance, and other University personnel to travel.
Am I able to pick what spots I reserve?
We will be filling spots on a first come/first serve basis. Unfortunately, due to the volume of attendees we’ll have that day, we are not able to pre-plan individually reserved spots (you cannot request specific spots at reservation). However, if you reserve multiple spots online we will do our best to make sure you get that many consecutive spots on the day you arrive. For example, if you reserve 3 spots online, our parking lot ushers will do their best to make sure you are parked with 3 spots in a row in the lot you purchase (either A or B).
What else is available on site?
Tailgating Lots A & B will only provide parking spaces for tailgating. Food, beverages, and furnishings in these areas need to be supplied by the attendee. However, we will also be hosting food trucks, band, and family activities.
