What are the tailgating rules at Kessler Stadium?

Fans may tailgate before a home game and then again for up to two hours after the game ends; tailgating is not permitted during the game or at halftime. Tailgating is limited to the Main Campus Lot and the Northwest Lot. A single canopy up to 8 feet by 8 feet may be set up on gameday and must be removed afterward. Kegs, party balls, common source or mass quantities of alcohol, hard liquor, and glass containers are not permitted. Bands, DJs, loud music, stages, or platforms are not permitted in the parking lots. Animals are not permitted on campus.

Is there a sun and shade map for Kessler 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.
