Football Tailgating

Football Tailgating

  • Tailgate with Mines students and supporters in the Q-Lot located on the hill (on the corner of Elm Street and Campus Drive) overlooking the football stadium. Tailgates start two hours prior to game time. Tailgates are sponsored by the Mines Activities Council. Tailgating parking spots can be reserved in advance online.
  • The K-Lot is open for tailgating on each game day from 10:00am-12:00pm (for noon starts). Admission is $10 per vehicle, and tailgaters are not permitted to occupy open spots. Tailgating is not permitted after the game starts (this includes halftime) and alcohol cannot leave the lots.
  • Only gas grills will be allowed in the tailgate lot. You must place something (plywood, metal pan, etc.) underneath your grill to catch the grease. Letting the grill drip onto the pavement will not be tolerated. Dumping of any waste (including grease) is not allowed and may result in eviction from the site and suspension from future tailgates. Tailgaters are prohibited from drilling or punching holes in parking lots for anchoring of tents or any other purpose.
