Tailgating Rules:
The Bruce Street tailgate area will open 6 hours before each game (time may be adjusted on a game-by-game basis as needed). Please have your tailgate spot setup at least 3 hours before kick-off. Due to the large crowds and activities on Bruce Street, we will limit access by vehicles. No vehicles will be permitted to drive through the tailgate area within 3 hours of kick-off.
Approximately two hours prior to each game, the players and coaches make their now-traditional Bear Walk down Bruce Street through the tailgating area and you can greet them in person. At this time we ask that you please turn off all music, as music from the band parading down Bruce Street fills the air to let fans know it is about time fo the Bears to enter the field.
Tailgating hang tags should be displayed in order to get access to your Bruce Street tailgating spot. If you lose your hang tag please contact the Athletic Department to pick up your replacement tag no later than 3:00p the Thursday before the next home game. Replacement tags are $5.
Tailgating setups, (including tents, tables, chairs, grills, banners, decorations, etc.) may remain up during the game; however, fans will be encouraged to move into the stadium approximately 15 minutes prior to kick-off. Tailgating will NOT be allowed to resume following the conclusion of the game. Tailgate setups must be taken down, loaded up, and hauled away directly following the game.
Bruce Street Reserved Tailgating spots are not to be used for any sort of commercial use. NON-APPROVED SOLICITATION IS PROHIBITED & ENFORCED ON SITE.
