Today’s parking lots are tomorrow’s playing fields.
Help us avoid unnecessary injuries. No glass bottles or charcoal fires permitted. Deposit all trash in the dumpsters near the exits.
Thank you for your cooperation and for keeping our student-athletes safe.
Yale Tailgating Rules
We are committed to creating a safe and enjoyable environment for all fans, both in our venues and in the parking lots. You are responsible for your conduct. Yale University permits tailgating on football game days in designated areas, during specified hours, and under the conditions outlined in these Tailgating rules.
Yale Event Staff, Parking Staff, Security Staff and Law Enforcement will enforce all policies. All guests’ belongings including vehicles are subject to search by staff. Persons visibly under the influence or impaired will not be admitted into the tailgate areas or the Yale Bowl. Yale University reserves the right to alter and interpret regulations described below. Together, let’s continue the great tradition that is Yale Athletics.

Every vehicle entering a Yale parking area must be in possession of a parking pass. For all 2014 home games, a pass can be purchased in advance or on game-day at time of entry. Game-day purchases will occur in Lot A, B and D and Handicap lots. One parking permit entitles you to ONE parking spot. Parking spaces are limited and tailgating must be confined to a small area behind each vehicle. Traffic aisles and parking spaces cannot be blocked at any time. Spectators wishing to park together MUST enter lots at the same time. Charter buses and RVs must purchase a parking pass for Lot A. For all 2014 home games, passes will be available on game-day. Box Trucks are NOT PERMITTED. Upon departing, you are expected to clean up your parking spot. Bring trash bags with you to dispose of trash. Neatly tied trash bags can be left or taken to dumpsters located throughout the parking lot areas. Please refrain from leaving loose trash and litter in the parking areas.
