Football Tailgating Etiquette

 

The following tailgating etiquette will be in effect for the 2006 Lenoir-Rhyne football season to ensure a safe and enjoyable tailgating experience for our fans.  The Department of Athletics encourages fans to arrive early, tailgate, and enjoy Bear football.

 

Our students, faculty, staff and fans are all valuable members of our Lenoir-Rhyne family and your attendance and participation at the games is a big part of our success.  In order to make your attendance and that of those with and around you a positive one, our number one priority for tailgating is for your safety.  Enjoy the game and GO BEARS!!!

 

 

  1. NO GAS POWER GENERATORS ALLOWED

For safety reasons, gas power generators are not allowed due to the combustible situation gasoline presents.

 

  1. GRILLS AND KEGS

Please be advised, propane/gas grills will be allowed.  However, we ask that propane tanks be limited to the 5-10 gallon size.  Kegs will NOT be permitted. 

 

  1. NO GLASS CONTAINERS

For safety considerations, we ask that all tailgaters use cans and/or cups only – NO GLASS, PLEASE!!!

 

  1. TENTS

All tents are restricted to grassy areas – no tents should be erected in parking lot due to space limitations and for emergency access into and through the parking lot.

 

  1. NO EXTERNAL STEREO SYSTEMS ALLOWED

Out of courtesy to others using the parking lots, only portable radio/stereo units will be permitted.  Remember though, for safety reasons, house stereo units requiring an external power source will not be allowed.

 

  1. ATTEND THE GAME

All tailgate parties will be suspended at the start of the game.  This allows for the limited game day operations, security, and medical staff to turn their attention to those inside the stadium confines and is for the safety of all those attending the game.  Tailgating will be limited to the day of the game and must end no later than midnight.  Thank you for your cooperation.

 

  1. BEHAVIOR

Please be respectful of other tailgaters around you and remember that all students are subject to the Social Regulations and Policies stated in the student handbook.  All others are subject to rules and regulations of North Carolina, Hickory, Lenoir-Rhyne College and the Lenoir-Rhyne College Athletic Department.

 

  1. Miscellaneous

Please pick up and bag your trash before entering the game.  No alcohol may be admitted into the game and make sure you provide an adequate amount of food for the amount of alcohol being served.  Please make sure you have a designated driver. 

 

  1. EMERGENCIES

In case of emergency, please contact Lenoir-Rhyne Security at 828-328-7146 or dial 911.
