What are the tailgating rules at Harry Turpin Stadium?

Known as Donald's Demon Alley, tailgating is encouraged prior to each home football game outside of the Athletic Fieldhouse. Charcoal and propane grills are allowed and must be placed at least 10 feet from RVs and vehicles while in use. Tents are allowed provided they are no larger than 10 feet by 10 feet, placed directly behind the vehicle and do not impede foot or vehicular traffic. Live musical bands or amplified music are not allowed in tailgating areas. (source)

Is there a sun and shade map for Harry Turpin 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.
