Tailgating is permitted on stadium grounds and is an exciting part of the UConn Football gameday experience and we want every fan to enjoy their visit to Pratt & Whitney Stadium at Rentschler Field. To ensure your safety, comfort and enjoyment, and that of your fellow football fans, we ask that fans adhere to the following guidelines:
- Tailgating is permitted five hours before the game for season parking pass holders and four hours for all fans. Tailgating is allowed for no more than two hours postgame.
- To ensure that fans do not miss a minute of the UConn Huskies in action, anyone still tailgating 30 minutes prior to the start of the game must either enter the stadium or leave the property.
- Please leave room for your fellow tailgaters — tailgating activities should be confined to the area immediately adjacent to your vehicle. Grills, coolers, etc., should be set up in front of or behind your vehicle.
- Fans wishing to park together should enter the parking lots at the same time — saving spaces for other vehicles is prohibited.
- Any tailgating activities (i.e. ball playing, Frisbee toss, corn hole, etc.) taking place in the parking lots and roadways are safety hazards. Fans wishing to participate in these activities are expected to both take extreme caution and be respectful of other tailgaters in the process.
- Show your Husky Pride — canopies and flags are permitted, with the exception of those requiring supports pounded into the ground.
- An “Oversized Vehicle” Lot is available for fans with RVs or other oversized vehicles. These vehicles should not park in any other lots.
- Unauthorized use of ADA accessible parking spaces will not be tolerated. All parking lots are ADA accessible and are available on a first-come, first-served basis. A person with an ADA state placard or license plate must be in the vehicle. Please view the Parking Map for reference.
- Keep that barbeque safe — no charcoal fires or open flames are permitted.
- Caterers other than Spectra (the official caterer of Pratt & Whitney Stadium at Rentschler Field) are not permitted on the property. The unauthorized sale of merchandise, food or beverage is also prohibited.
- Alcohol is permitted in the park lots, but please drink responsibly. No drinking games are allowed to be played in the parking lots (i.e. beer pong, beer funnels and ice luges).
- Intoxicated Guests – UConn Division of Athletics reserves the right to deny entry or sale of alcohol to any guest that appears to be intoxicated. These individuals may be ejected from the stadium and/or subject to legal action.
- Kegs and bulk quantities of alcohol are not permitted in any vehicle, in the parking lots, or on Pratt & Whitney Stadium at Rentschler Field property.
- Help keep Pratt & Whitney Stadium at Rentschler Field clean and green — please utilize trash receptacles and recycling bins available throughout the parking lots.
- Drones are strictly prohibited in and around the stadium.
