BYU announces new tailgating options for the 2014 football season

PROVO, Utah — BYU today announced revised tailgating plans for the 2014 home football season. In an effort to improve the tailgating experience at BYU, the new plan combines the RV lot with the regular tailgate parking (Lot 20) located directly north of the BYU Broadcasting Building.

“The goal is to create a centralized location that gives Cougar Nation more space to enjoy the pregame tailgating experience with friends and family,” said BYU director of athletics Tom Holmoe. “It’s part of our continued effort to improve the game-day experience at BYU.”

Below are some details about the improved tailgating area in Lot 20. These tailgating policies apply only to Lot 20. Those interested in tailgating in other university parking lots (including the lots next to LaVell Edwards Stadium) must follow the policies found online at www.byutickets.com.

Lot 20 Tailgating

Where: Located directly north of the BYU Broadcasting Building.

Availability: The lot opens at 6 a.m. on all home game days and will remain open until three hours after the conclusion of the game. It is first-come, first-served and there is no overnight parking.

Vehicle types: Cars, vans, trucks and motorcycles. RVs and other oversized vehicles will now be allowed to park in Lot 20 as long as they arrive at least three hours prior to kickoff.
