Limestone Announces Tailgating Policies For 2022 Football Season

Limestone University will host its first-ever football game on campus this Saturday, Sept. 24, against UVA Wise starting at 7 p.m.

To ensure a safe and enjoyable tailgating experience for our fans, the following tailgating etiquette will be in effect for the 2022 football season:

• The Tailgate Lot & Limestone University general admission parking lots will open 3.5 hours prior to kickoff.

• Kegs and containers in excess of 1 gallon are not permitted.

• All other Limestone University general admission parking areas are alcohol free.

• Alcohol consumption must be discontinued at the start of the game.

• All tailgating activities will be suspended at the start of the game. This allows for game day operations staff, 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.
