Great Tailgate Safety Reminders

No Open Flames – Charcoal grills are good to go, but no open fires or anything that’s not designed for cooking.

No Overnight Parking – We know you’re excited, but no setting up camp in Barker Lot the night before or after. If you park overnight, you’ll be asked to move to the back of Lot 5.
