What are the tailgating rules at Hancock Whitney Stadium?

The large grassy areas south of the stadium near the SGA Pavilion and Stadium Drive are a designated open tailgating area for fans wishing to set up their own tailgate; Tailgater Concierge manages the Jaguar Row tents along John Counts Drive and offers turn-key tailgate packages. Tents in tailgating areas are capped at 10 ft x 10 ft without written permission and cannot be staked into the ground. (source)

Is there a sun and shade map for Hancock Whitney 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.
