Tailgating Policy

Tailgating is permitted in designated parking lots on game day. Tailgating must be confined to the area immediately behind your vehicle. Please do not block roadways or sidewalks. Parking lots will be monitored prior to and throughout the game.

For safety reasons as well as emergency access if necessary, the following are NOT PERMITTED in the parking lots: 

  • Throwing objects – This includes, but is not limited to, footballs and frisbees.
  • Blocking the roadway – placing tables, chairs, cornhole boards or other items that may extend into the roadway beyond the bounds of the parking space provided is not permitted.

Improper use of parking passes:
23898 All cars in the donor lots must keep their parking pass displayed at all times, or be subject to towing.
 
The owner of the pass is responsible for any violations of the policy due to someone using the pass. I.E. if you lend it out or sell it and there is a violation, you, as the owner of the pass, are responsible if any penalty occurs. 
 
Because of the survey feedback, we will increase parking lot security and enforce the existing tailgating policy.  In an effort to address the issues of parking space infringement and crowds spilling into the roadway, a line will be painted behind each parking spot in lots 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5. We request this line be the extension limit for your tailgate.  Encroaching beyond the line will result in an infraction of the tailgating policies. This will ensure that we are keeping the roadway clear for emergency vehicles and that no one gets hit or run over. 

In the event that you are in violation of any of the tailgating rules, the following penalties will be enforced:
 
Tailgating Infraction Penalties 

  • 1stoffense, you will receive an oral warning from security personnel. Additionally, an email will be sent to you regarding the violation.
  • 2ndoffense, you will receive another oral warning from security personnel. Additionally, you will receive a letter and a phone call from a Hokie Club representative regarding the violation. 
  • 3rdoffense, you will receive a written infraction notice from security personnel. Additionally, you will receive a letter from the Athletics Director and the Hokie Club Executive Director indicating that your parking eligibility has been revoked for the remainder of the 2018 season. Additionally, for the 2019 season, you will not be eligible to purchase a parking pass in Hokie Club donor lots. You would however, be eligible after one year to regain your parking privileges provided you remain in good standing with the Hokie Club.
