2008 Football Tailgating Etiquette

The following tailgating etiquette will be in effect for the 2008 Wake Forest football season to ensure a safe and enjoyable tailgating experience for our fans. The Department of Athletics encourages fans to arrive early, tailgate, and enjoy Demon Deacon football.

Our students, faculty, staff and fans are all valuable members of our Wake Forest family and your attendance and participation at the games is a big part of our success. In order to make your attendance and that of those with and around you a positive one, our number one priority for tailgating is for your safety. Enjoy the game and GO DEACS!!!

  1. NO GAS POWERED GENERATORS ALLOWED - For safety reasons, gas powered generators are not allowed due to the combustible situation gasoline presents.
  2. GRILLS AND KEGS - Propane/gas grills should be used when tailgating. However, we ask that propane tanks be limited to the 5-10 gallon size. Charcoal grills are discouraged due to the waste they produce. Kegs are permissible, however, groups providing kegs are also responsible for monitoring consumption and making sure those consuming alcohol are of legal age. NO LIQUOR ALLOWED! Action will be taken.
  3. NO GLASS CONTAINERS - Again, for safety considerations, we ask that all tailgaters use cans and/or cups only - No Glass, please!
  4. PARKING - Parking will be limited to pass holders only. Please exit the way you entered. Due to space limitations, no spaces are allowed to be used for tailgating. Please use grassy areas, curbs, or the area behind your vehicle. Buses, RVs, rental trucks, and trailers, etc. will be directed to park in the LJVM Coliseum parking lots. These vehicles will not be allowed in the BB&T Field lots. Those with special RV requests may contact the Deacon Club at 758-5626 to obtain a parking pass. Certain rules and regulations apply and supplies are limited.
  5. TENTS - All tents are restricted to grassy areas - no tents should be erected in parking lot to due space limitations and for emergency access into and through the parking lot.
  6. NO EXTERNAL STEREO SYSTEMS ALLOWED Out of courtesy to others using the same parking lots, only portable radio/stereo units (boom boxes) will be permitted. Remember though, for safety reasons, house stereo units requiring an external power source will not be allowed.
  7. ATTEND THE GAME - As has been the practice for many years, all tailgate parties will need to cease by the start of the game. This allows for the limited game day operations, security, and medical staff to turn their attention to those inside the stadium confines and is for the safety of all those attending the game. The parking lots will be cleared by University and Winston-Salem police officers beginning 30 minutes prior to kick-off. Tailgaters will be asked to enter the game or leave the parking lots. Thank you for your cooperation.
  8. BEHAVIOR - Please be respectful of other tailgaters around you. As Wake Forest fans, we rely on you not only to follow these policies, but to help enforce them with those around you. Wake Forest promotes a family atmosphere in the parking lot and inside the stadium.
  9. MISCELLANEOUS - Please pick up and bag your trash before entering the game. Personal bags brought into the stadium are subject to search. In case of emergency, please contact the Operations Staff at 336-462-1159 or dial 911. First Aid personnel can be located on the West Concourse under Section 10, with satellite stations located behind sections 1 and 20.
  10. RE-ENTRY IS PROHIBITED - Upon exiting BB&T Field no one will be granted re-admittance. This is not limited to students, and applies to all patrons.
  11. PROHIBITED ITEMS - The following items are prohibited within the gates of BB&T Field:
