Free Tailgating (University Center & Special Events)

Free tailgating in Aggie Park is managed by University Center & Special Events. The majority of the tailgating space in Aggie Park is designated for free access. These areas include Freels Family Field (1 & 2), Bellinger Family Grove (3) and Throckmorton Lawn (4).

All free tailgating in Aggie Park will require a Reservation through the Virtual Land Rush Process.

  • NOTE

    Any requests via the link at the top of the page before 6 p.m. CST the Sunday prior to the game will be considered invalid and will not be honored.
    On a home game week, requests must be submitted between 6:00 p.m. CST on Sunday and 5 p.m. CST on Tuesday to be counted as a valid request.

    1. Visitors may request free tailgating spots by completing the virtual land rush form (posted at the bottom of the page, when available).
    2. Confirmation emails will be sent out Wednesday morning with each guests’ location within the park. Guests will also be notified if the request cannot be honored because the park has reached capacity.
    3. Beginning game day morning at 7 a.m., drop off for land rush will take place on Throckmorton Street. It’s recommended guests arrive no later than two hours before kickoff to minimize traffic.
    4. Guests with reservations may check in at the Aggie Tailgating Tent located near the J.V. “Pinky” Wilson statue located in the Lafield Plaza near Throckmorton Street (above number 2 on the preceding map). Those without reservations may check in at this tent to see if there are any available open spaces.
