Tailgating not only guarantees a great parking space, but allows you to pack your own food, grills, beverages, and all the necessary essentials for your very own pregame party. CAMPUS GREEN GRIDIRON TAILGATE (THE GRID) The Gridiron Tailgate, or THE GRID, includes 100-plus tailgating plots stretched across Campus Green (Northeast corner of campus) allowing fans the opportunity to bring their pregame parties to the heart of campus, flanking the CATWALK. Two convenient drop off zones (Lindner Hall Circle and West University Avenue Circle) allow plot holders the ability to unload their tailgating supplies near the site. Options are also available for those that need tailgating supplies: food and beverage vendors will be on site and arrangements can be made for tents, grills, tables, chairs, and/or coolers to be set up and taken down at your plot on gameday. Plots are sold on a season-long basis and are allocated to fans based on UCATS priority points. For everything you need to know about THE GRID including plot requests, maps, rules and restrictions, and how to rent materials, click HERE. The Grid will be accessible for plot holders beginning four hours prior to the scheduled game time and will remain open one hour after the conclusion of the game. Fans may not remain in the tailgate area during the contest, but party supplies can be left as security will remain on hand. Not a plot holder? All of Bearcats Nation is encouraged to tailgate at the newly formed Bearcats Tailgate Garden presented by City BBQ located on the Grid. This new hospitality area includes all-you-can-eat City BBQ, your ticket to the game, access to beverage vendors, and parking. (There is a food-only option for current season ticket holders as well). For more information, call the UCATS office at 877-55-UCATS (82287).
