Student groups may enter the parking area five hours before kickoff; general public tailgating in the Hunt B lot also opens five hours before kickoff. Tailgating must end by the end of the first quarter. Alcohol (beer and wine only) is permitted for those 21 and older in opaque cups, with no common containers such as kegs. Grilling is permitted if grills are elevated. Drinking games are not allowed.

Is there a sun and shade map for Rhodes 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.
