What are the tailgating rules at Dix Stadium?

Stadium parking lots open three hours before game time. Charcoal grills are encouraged for tailgating, with coals disposed of in designated red trash cans; propane tanks, glass, and kegs are not permitted in the stadium lots.

Is there a sun and shade map for Dix 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.
