UL Football Tailgating Update

We just received this update on tailgating at Cajun Field for the opening game of the season as UL takes on Boise State this Saturday.

This message was sent from the University of Louisiana at Lafayette Department of Athletics.

ALERT! With warm, dry weather and low chance of rain the rest of the week, the condition of the tailgating lots has improved to the point where vehicular traffic will be allowed in tailgating areas at Cajun Field. Due to the 11:00am kick-off, tailgating set up and access times will be different from what we have had in the past.

• Tailgating set up will begin at 2:00pm Friday. RV set up will begin at 5:00pm Friday. All fans are encouraged to set up tents and bring in heavy equipment on Friday to minimize set up time on Saturday.
• RV’s, trailers, and passenger vehicles that fit within your tailgating spot, are allowed for setup, and can remain during the game. We want to allow fans the option to use their vehicles as safe storage for valuable tailgating supplies when they leave the area to enter into the game.
• Everyone will have access to their spot. There are gates open in the construction fence to allow spot holders in that area to access their spots for setup as normal.
• Reinhardt Drive will close prior to the Cajun Walk at approximately 8:15am. Reinhardt Drive will remain closed to all vehicle traffic after that time. At this point, there can no vehicle movement in tailgating areas.
• After Reinhardt Drive closes, tailgaters can use their RCAF pass to drop off items from the adjacent RCAF lot, and then park their car in the RCAF lot.
• As in years past, TG passes are not allowed to park in RCAF lots. TG passes that are not parked in TG spots will need to park in general admission parking.
• Tailgating tents may remain set up for the duration of the current three game home stand.

The support and passion of our loyal fans is greatly appreciated. We are asking for understanding and the cooperation to ensure a safe, fun environment for everyone.
