TAILGATING
No vehicle access to tailgate areas on Saturday, June 1 will be allowed until loadout begins at approximately 12 PM!
Per UIW Public Safety Traffic Control, there will be no tailgate load-in and vehicle access to the tailgate zones the morning of the event --Saturday, June 1. This policy is to ensure the safety of every participant and guest on UIW property with the campus being at maximum capacity.
Team captains will get their team’s tailgate/VIP parking passes in their packets at Chicken N Pickle (the week of the event). The pass, similar to last year, will allow teams to park in the Riverside parking lot and Agnese Sosa parking garage (levels 2 & 3 ONLY) on the day of the event, with close proximity (approx. 200 yards away from the tailgating zones) to bring over any last-minute tailgate setup items that morning.
Therefore, we are requiring all teams load in their tailgate the day before the event, Friday, May 31 from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. when they will have direct vehicle access to their spaces. Any items brought on Saturday morning will have to be hand carried or carted over from the designated parking lot which is 500 yards away.
During check-in on Friday, May 31 we will also verify that each team’s tents have 30 lbs. of weight per tent leg in case of storms or high wind.. If teams do not have the required 30 lbs. of weight per leg, sandbags will be available for purchase for $10 each.
Below is access map guidance for team vehicles that will manage tailgate load out for Saturday. This will also be the parking spaces for teams that want to get as close as possible to the tailgate zones for any last minute vehicle off loading on Saturday, event day.
