No, you do not need a ticket just to enter the tailgate area. However:

• If you want to set up a space (grill, tent, etc.), you must purchase a reserved tailgate space.

• A game ticket is required to enter the stadium for the football game.

• Each Standard Tailgate Package includes one (1) reserved 10x10 space, 2 game tickets, and allows only 1 standard vehicle. No companion or tow vehicles are permitted.

• Each RV Tailgate Experience includes a reserved 30x30 space, 4 game tickets, and allows only 1 RV. No companion or tow vehicles are permitted.

When you purchase a tailgate space, you must provide the name of the individual(s) responsible for setting up your area, along with the license plate number of your vehicle. Only one vehicle is allowed per reserved space, and it must be parked in the designated tailgate lot. Be sure to bring everything you need for your setup—such as a pop-up tent, grill, and food—as there are no in-and-out privileges.

Arrive ready to set up at 6 AM. Be prepared to wrap up your setup by 8:00 AM, as the gate on Smith Street leading to Lot C will be closed and locked promptly at 8:00 AM.

If you plan to attend the football game at 1 PM, your tailgate space must be cleaned up by 12:30 PM. If you are staying in the lot during the football game, all trash must be cleaned up by 3:30 PM before the start of the Battle of the Bands. All trash must be bagged and neatly placed by the City of Rochester trash boxes at the end of each row.
