Tag-A-Kid Program
The Tag-A-Kid Program is a free wristbanding program developed to help reunite lost children with their parents or guardians. In the unlikely event that you and your child are separated, your child will be wearing a wristband containing his or her seat location. This wristband will assist the RedHawk staff members in returning your child to their seat. The Tag-A-Kid Program can be found at the main ticket booth located in the Cradle of Coaches Plaza at Yager stadium and in the main lobby at Millett Hall and Goggin Ice Arena.
Tailgating (Football Only)
Tailgating will begin four hours prior to kickoff but should conclude 15 minutes prior to the start of the game. No tents larger than 10' x 10' will be permitted outside of Tailgate Town. For those fans that are 21 or older, responsible alcohol consumption is permitted in designated areas. Fans consuming alcohol must present identification to appropriate law enforcement or university personnel when requested to do so. All beverages should be in aluminum cans, plastic bottles, or paper or plastic cups. Glass containers, kegs, hard liquor, drinking games or apparatuses for drinking games are not permitted. Trash should be placed into bags and placed within trash containers. Trash containers will be provided throughout the tailgating area for your convenience. We request your help in keeping our facilities on which you are tailgating clean and safe. You are allowed one space for tailgating which includes your vehicle. If your tailgating area goes beyond your space you will be charged for two spaces.
Tailgating Helpful Hints 1. Look around and check out what other tailgaters are doing. 2. If you are grilling out, make sure the charcoal is contained and disposed of in the containers provided. 3. Make sure you are in your seats before kickoff. 4. Most importantly...have fun, relax, and act responsibly!
