What are the tailgating rules at Falcon Stadium?

Tailgating setup and start is no earlier than four hours prior to kickoff, and tailgating ends promptly two hours after the game. Falcon Alley, a pregame fan zone with games, inflatables and food, opens three hours before kickoff and is free to enter.

Is there a sun and shade map for Falcon 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.
