What are the tailgating rules at Armstrong Stadium?

Corporate or professional tailgates are not allowed and no corporate signage is permitted at any time without prior written approval from Hampton University Athletics. Tailgating must be concluded and lots cleared two hours after the contest ends, except for homecoming, which allows four hours after the contest. Throwing objects, blocking roadways or sidewalks, and sound systems or noise amplification such as bands and DJ equipment are not permitted in the parking lots.

Is there a sun and shade map for Armstrong Stadium?

Not yet. We have not built a seat model for this stadium. Our sun and shade maps need a recent lidar survey and a section-by-section seating map, so we cover the bigger FBS and NFL stadiums first. We only publish seat and sun data measured from a survey of the stands as they are now, so this guide sticks to the schedule, parking and stadium policies until a newer survey is flown.

Before you go

• Bags: Fans are strongly encouraged to use clear bags. Small hand bags no larger than 4.5 inches by 6.5 inches are allowed but are subject to security check. Bag policy.
