Tarleton State University has announced new policies, procedures and a new location for tailgating in Texan Alley.

One of the new tailgating policies includes an age verification process. City Limits staff will provide age-verified wristbands to those 21 and older as they enter Texan Alley. Entrants must present a valid driver’s license to receive a wristband. A wristband is now required to consume alcoholic beverages within the tailgating area.

To reserve a space within Texan Alley for tailgating, visit the online marketplace at www.tarleton.edu/recsports/TexanAlley and click on “Reserve Your Spot Today!” All reserved tailgating spaces—two regular parking spaces within Lot P20 North—are $10 each. There is a five-space limit per person or group; however, larger tailgating areas may be reserved by calling Daron Trussell at 254-968-0761.Setup may begin at 8 a.m. on game day, with all Texan Alley events officially starting three hours prior to the kickoff of each home game. This year’s home football games are scheduled for 7 p.m. Sept. 12, 7 p.m. Oct. 3, 6 p.m. Oct. 17 and 7 p.m. Oct. 24.

Those who reserve tailgating spaces are limited to one vehicle per area.
