Tips for safe (and legal) tailgating (Arizona Republic/Sept. 12, 2008)

SOME NOTES AND REMINDERS ABOUT ASU'S TAILGATING POLICIES

Tailgating may occur in the ASU's parking lots and structures 3.5 hours preceding home football games (1:30 p.m. for this Saturday's game against Georgia).

The consumption of beer and wine is permitted but under Arizona law, the consumption of liquor is not authorized.

Individuals consuming beer or wine must be of legal age, i.e., 21 years of age or older.

Formal organized events, such as when a company plans and has catered an event with food and alcohol, are required to obtain an alcohol permit.

Grilling may be done in open parking lots and on the roof of parking structures. No charcoal grills are allowed.

ASU police encourages the use of cans or plastic bottles.

No one can bring any alcohol inside the stadium.

Drinking games and binge drinking are prohibited. Other recreational games such as bean-bag toss, football, etc., are permitted as long as a competitive drinking aspect is not involved.
