  • Vehicles may not obstruct the roadway.
  • Patrons may use televisions, radios, and other music-playing devices in and directly behind the parking space in which the patron’s vehicle is parked, at a reasonable volume, so long as they do not interfere with any other fan’s enjoyment of the tailgating or event experience.
  • Only Gas grills are permitted. Charcoal grills are prohibited.
  • Grilling is only permitted in paved lots. No grilling should take place in grass lots.
