Parking spots in the North Gate Parking Lot are for Tailgating only on Saturday, October 1st. Tailgating spots are $20 per standard space, and attendees must pre-register. No same-day reservations can be accepted. Tailgating spots can be reserved here.

*Due to the high volume of attendees expected on Saturday, October 1st, parking spots cannot be saved in the North Gate Parking Lot for other vehicles in a party arriving at a later time. In order to park together, you must arrive to the tailgating area with all vehicles in your party. The lower campus parking lot near Passan Hall can be used as a gathering spot for groups waiting to come together.
