What are the tailgating rules at O'Kelly-Riddick Stadium?

Tent City, a premium tailgate option on the Lawn next to the stadium, includes a tent, folding tables, and folding chairs, and allows alcohol and outside food; equipment can be dropped off and secured overnight the day before the game. Eagle Alley, on the east side of the Lawn next to the track, offers RV and car tailgate spaces where fans set up their own tents, cooking equipment, alcohol, and food. Tent City and Eagle Alley purchasers must also buy a Lawn or stadium ticket.

Is there a sun and shade map for O'Kelly-Riddick 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.
