Lot 4 (directly in front of Williams Stadium) is a paid tailgating ($15 per car/$50Â per RV) lot which requires a vehicle pass.
Oversized vehicles such as RVs and trailers may use the tailgate lot for $50, but must park to occupy the fewest spaces possible.

Tailgating is restricted to the following times and only within the designated tailgating zone.
Tailgating may begin three (3) hours before game time. Tailgating must end at kick-off.
