DENTON (9/28/06) - The North Texas Athletic department is looking forward to another festive Game Day at North Texas tailgating atmosphere this Saturday when the Mean Green hosts Middle Tennessee . To enhance the game day experience for all fans we have developed the following tailgating tips. For additional information please visit MeanGreenSports.com and click on Game Day @ North Texas !

PARKING

The majority of the parking around the stadium is reserved for Mean Green Club Members who purchase season tickets and are issued an appropriate parking pass.

Parking in the Blue Lot (located between Fouts Field and the Super Pit) is available for non Mean Green Club members at a cost of $10 per game. We have implemented festival parking in this Lot , which means that patrons are directed where to park and not given the opportunity to choose a specific parking spot. If you wish to park next to friends and family it is suggested that you enter the lot together. Tailgating space is considered to be behind the vehicle in the aisle immediately adjacent to parking space. Parking is very limited in this area so fans are encouraged to arrive early. A parking space is not guaranteed and re-entry is not permitted.

Recreational Vehicles will be permitted in the Orange lot for Mean Green Club members as arranged with their donation and must park at the direction of attendants. Non Mean Green Club Members will be permitted to park in the orange lot with a $50 per game fee and must also park at the direction of the attendants. RV overflow parking is available in the red lot.

BEVERAGES

We are trying to re-emphasize that Kegs are not permitted in the tailgating areas or on campus for that matter, neither are beer bongs, and other binge drinking related paraphernalia. The legal drinking age is 21 or older, consumption of alcohol by minors is illegal, and it is illegal to provide alcohol to minors. The University reminds all fans to not drink and drive. Please choose a designated driver before you consume any alcoholic beverages.

PLEASE DO NOTS

Please no glass bottles, firearms, weapons, distribution of materials, or selling of raffles without prior athletic department permission.

No apparel, souvenirs, food, or beverage may be sold without appropriate permission by North Texas Athletics and the University of North Texas .

No advertising vehicles permitted without prior approved permission of North Texas Athletics.

BE RESPECTFUL

Fans are encouraged to bag their trash and place in the appropriate receptacles.

Please be courteous and respectful of other tailgaters including visiting fans as we work to present a conducive atmosphere for a great day of college football festivities.

GET IN THE GAME

Fans are also encouraged to secure their valuables 30 minutes prior to kickoff and make their way into the seating areas of Fouts Field to enjoy the Green Brigade Pregame Extravaganza. Tailgating during the game is strongly discouraged

There was some chatter amoungst my group to take our tailgating out of the blue lot and onto a "free" lot elsewhere on campus. It's also a hazard since emergency vehicles can't get down the rows because the first couple rows fill up so fast and become heavily packed with people/gear. It seemed like there were a couple thousand people where I was tailgating that first game. And why can't you buy more spaces if you're willing to shell out the clams?
