What are the tailgating rules at Washington-Grizzly Stadium?

A beer garden sponsored by Summit Beverage, entered only from inside the stadium, allows ticket holders 21 and older to purchase beer and wine; fans may bring food into that area but may not bring beverages back into the stadium.

Is there a sun and shade map for Washington-Grizzly 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.

Before you go

Bags: UM recommends fans only bring what is necessary, such as phone, wallet and keys. Any purses or bags brought to the stadium are subject to search and must enter through specific bag check lanes at each gate. Fans without bags can use Express Lanes, which do not allow any bags, including clear bags. Bag policy.
Getting there: The free UDASH football shuttle runs a South Route (every 10-15 minutes from the Lewis & Clark Transfer Center, starting 2.5 hours before kickoff, last pickup one hour after the game) and a North Route (every 15-20 minutes from Missoula College and Downtown, starting 2.5 hours before kickoff, last pickup one hour after the game). Parking and transit.
Food: Outside food and beverages are prohibited, but empty water bottles are permitted and can be filled after entry into the stadium.
