As you take part in gameday activities, we ask that you please help us maintain the campus buildings, grounds and landscape which are important investments for students, faculty, staff and guests to enjoy. Inappropriate or dangerous behavior affecting the safety of guests, resulting in destruction of university property, facilities and/or grounds, and/or failing to adhere to these tailgating policies may result in the permanent and/or immediate loss of tailgating privileges.
