No overnight occupancy is allowed in tailgating areas. Tailgating sites open at 6 a.m. on "gameday" and must be cleared and cleaned by 7 p.m. Please place all trash in trash bags and place it in the trash containers. If tailgating areas are unavailable to collect your materials due to road closure or contraflow traffic, we ask that you be ready to move out when the roads reopen.

The ECSU Athletics Department reserves the right to reject any organization whose goals, objectives, or presentation of goods may be offensive to the citizens and not in the best interest of the university. Any tailgater who refuses to adhere to the guidelines as indicated will be subjected to ejection from the stadium without a refund.

Excessively loud music will not be tolerated. Please make sure that all music is suitable for public listening. No vulgarity or offensive language will be allowed.

Tailgaters must present photo identification in order to pick up their tailgating passes and enter the tailgating area on game day. A game ticket must also be displayed.
