New tailgating guidelines for the 2015 football season have been provided to students in a University-wide e-mail Aug. 17.
To secure a space for tailgate, reservations must be made in advance with a $10 refundable fee. Notice of cancellation is required 48 hours prior to game kick-off. Reservations are on a first-come, first-served basis depending on lot/trail availability via: parking.fiu.edu/tailgating.
Designated Tailgating Lots and Trails will be accessible from 8 a.m. until two hours following the end of the game.
General tailgating areas include the Diamond Lot, Nature Trail and Panther Trail. Visitors are encouraged to park in the Blue Garage, Panther Garage or Lot Five where tailgating is not permitted.
For mid-day games four hours prior to game start, the University’s open-container waiver will be in effect. For evening games, the open-container waiver will be in effect six hours prior.
Tailgating will close down 45 minutes prior to game kick-off. FIU Police Department and Parking and Transportation personnel will walk through all tailgate areas prior to kick-off to ensure compliance. For further questions, contact Parking and Transportation at parking.fiu.edu.
