Students must reserve a tailgate spot with the UNT Athletics Marketing Department at least 72 hours before the game and are issued one Purple Lot pass. Tailgating in parking lots may not occupy empty spaces or block traffic flow. Kegs, drinking games and glass containers are not permitted; alcohol must be in aluminum cans, plastic bottles, or paper or plastic cups. Driving on The Hill is not permitted until 90 minutes after the game ends. (source)

Is there a sun and shade map for DATCU Stadium?

Not yet. We have not built a seat model here yet: it needs a recent lidar survey of the stands as they are now, and we are checking the available surveys stadium by stadium. 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.
