Tailgating is centered at Tailgate Terrace behind the outfield wall of Riddle-Pace Field and the South entrance of the stadium. Tailgate setup may begin at 7 a.m. on game day, and tailgating activities must conclude an hour after the game ends, with items removed by 10 a.m. the following morning. No overnight tailgating is allowed. (source)

Is there a sun and shade map for Veterans Memorial 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.
