FIRST-COME, FIRST-SERVED TAILGATING POLICIES

Tailgating Access & Passes
ALL vehicles will be required to display their Tailgate pass. If a vehicle does not have a pass, it will NOT be allowed onto the tailgate grounds. First-come, first-served passes will not be replaced if lost. The University of Arizona is not responsible for the loss or theft of personal belongings.

Tailgating Hours
The tailgating area will open five (5) hours prior to kick-off*. All tailgate areas must be cleared within one hour after the conclusion of the game.

Rain
In the event of heavy rain, it is possible that parking will not be allowed on the lawn or that tailgating may be cancelled. Refunds will not be given due to inclement weather.

Tailgate Size
The pass holder is limited to the designated space of his/her tailgate. The fire lane located in the center of the tailgating rows is for the safety of everyone, and must be kept clear of all obstructions.

For tailgates under 30 feet, the space size is 10 feet off one side of the vehicle and 30 feet from the front of the vehicle to the back of the space.

For tailgates over 30 feet, the space is 10 feet off one side of the vehicle and approximately 45 feet from the front of the vehicle to the back of the space.

Please note that the side of the vehicle will be determined from the front passenger or driver's side wheel. If a vehicle has slide outs, the slide outs will not be able to be used if they protrude out from the designated tailgate space. Exact space is not guaranteed and may be adjusted slightly to accommodate more Tailgaters on high capacity games such as Homecoming.

Tailgate Capacity
The overall attendance of a tailgate may not exceed the space provided. Should attendance become so large that the guests (invited guests or "walk-ins") cannot be confined to the designated tailgate space, it may be shut down. The pass holder is responsible for policing uninvited guests and should notify the UA Tailgating Staff if there are uninvited guests who refuse to leave their area.

Catering & Tent Company Deliveries
If you are planning on renting pop-up tents, additional chairs, tables, or catering, please note that delivery vehicles are not allowed in the first-come, first-served area. Delivery drop-offs are allowed outside of the tailgating area. Please make sure that you have a pick-up time and place prearranged so as not to interfere with tailgating traffic. Catering vehicles are not allowed in the first-come, first-served area regardless of the possession of a catering permit. All tents being used must be set up by the pass holder; there will be no set up of tents in advance to the beginning of tailgating.

Restrooms
Port-A-Johns are available on the UA Mall, Gittings Lawn and the McKale Lawn.

Generators
No generators are allowed in the first-come, first-served tailgating area.
