Are you planning to tailgate today?
Thank you for coming out to support the Hawks! Monmouth University, in order to provide a safe and enjoyable atmosphere for all of its fans, has instituted the following guidelines for tailgating.
- 1. Fans may tailgate before a home game and then again for up to 2 hours once the game has ended. Fans may not tailgate during the game or at halftime. Once the game begins, fans must enter Kessler Field or vacate the parking lots. Members of the Monmouth University Police Department will walk through the commuter parking lot 30 minutes before the start of the game to remind patrons of this guideline. Those individuals who attempt to remain in the lots during the game will be subject to criminal prosecution.
- 2. Kegs, party balls, common source/mass quantities of alcohol, hard liquor and glass containers are not permitted.
- 3. All University and state regulations that pertain to the legal consumption of alcohol will be enforced. Patrons that wish to consume alcohol must be 21 or older and be prepared to show legal proof of age to the MUPD or a University representative when requested. Those individuals underage found drinking or in possession of alcohol or distributing to minors are subject to criminal prosecution.
- 4. Drinking games and paraphernalia are not permitted, will be stopped and will be confiscated.
- 5. In order to maximize parking on a game by game basis, we ask that fans limit their tailgating to no more than one parking spot. Fans may purchase additional parking spaces for $20 per space. We ask for your cooperation since space is at a premium.
- 6. Patrons may bring in and set up a single tent only on game day, not to exceed 10 feet by 10 feet. The tent must be removed at the end of game day.
- 7. Animals are not permitted on-campus.
- 8. Bands, DJ's, loud music, stages or platforms are not permitted in the parking lot.
- 9. Tailgates must provide food to their guests if they also plan to serve alcohol.
- 10. Soliciting and outside caterers are not permitted.

Thank you for playing a role in making this day safer and more enjoyable for everyone.
