TAILGATING POLICIES TAILGATING IS LIMITED TO STUDENTS AND ON-CAMPUS COMMUNITY.
BARRICADES AND FENCING Fans may not place or move barricades, barrels, fencing or other traffic-control devices. All signs and instructions from traffic-control personnel and ACU Police officers must be followed.
To help maintain a safe environment for our students, ACU has implemented restrictions to manage guest traffic to campus. Though we have not yet made a final determination on tailgating, current plans will restrict tailgating to only students and our on-campus community. We are grateful for your commitment to “Do Your Part� to protect our students and help us maintain in-person instruction this fall.
Only Gameday personnel are authorized to place or remove barricades or fencing on campus.
COMMERCIAL ACTIVITY AND SOLICITATIONS Commercial activity and solicitations are not allowed at ACU. Companies may not issue sample products or display signage without approval from ACU Athletics. Food, beverages and other items may not be sold nor distributed to the general public.
ALCOHOL AND TOBACCO Abilene Christian University is an alcohol-free and tobacco-free campus.
CONDUCT The owner of each tailgating spot is responsible for the conduct of his or her guests. The close configuration of tailgate areas requires our guests be good neighbors who conduct themselves in a manner providing for the comfort and enjoyment of all. Inappropriate behavior will result in the permanent loss of tailgating privileges.
ANIMALS Only service animals wearing a vest are allowed inside Wildcat Stadium. Animals in all tailgating areas must be kept on a leash no more than 6 feet in length. Owners must remain in control of their animals at all times and are responsible for cleaning up after them. Owners assume all financial responsibility for damages to property or injury to individuals caused by the animal.
FLAMMABLES AND TRASH Charcoal grills and open flames are not allowed in tailgating areas. Only propane grills will be allowed in the tailgate.
This mirrors the ACU policy for animals on campus. A non-exhaustive list of prohibited animals includes Pit Bulls, Rottweilers, German Shepherds, Doberman Pinschers, any hybrid mixed with above breeds, non-domesticated animals, and those with a history of aggressive behavior.
Please note: Even items that appear to be extinguished may remain flammable and cause fires. Fire extinguishers will be on site, and fans using propane grills are encouraged to bring their own.
BANDS AND MUSIC
GENERATORS
Live bands and other live performances are not allowed in Wildcat Country tailgating areas without prior approval from Gameday staff. Excessively loud music also is not allowed, and speakers must be directed into your tailgate area.
Portable generators are permitted unless they create excessive noise, emission hazards or other safety concerns. As generators tend to be loud and intrusive for other tailgaters, please be respectful of tailgaters in surrounding spots.
