Tailgate Guidelines
The David/Jonathan (DJ) parking lot has been reserved at all home games for Concordia alumni, students, family, and friends. Cougar fans should enter the DJ lot from Augusta Street. Before arriving on campus, please print and display the Tailgate Parking Pass PDF (Click to here to download) on your dashboard.
- Tailgate parking is limited and available on a first come, first served basis. To allow all to participate, fans are allowed one stall only for their car and tailgating area.
- Please plan to arrive early to set up Tailgating as the DJ lot will be opened for General Parking at 12:15 p.m.
- Fans are requested to have an "escort" walk ahead of their car when driving in and out of the lotto provide a safety warning for pedestrians who may be in the lot.
- Guests who display a handicap parking permit will be allowed to enter from Monroe St. to accessible spaces and to eliminate driving through the lot (and pedestrians) to get to the northern handicap spots.
- Fans are asked to keep the middle of the lot clear so cars may pass through should people need to leave early.
- Visiting fans are asked to park in other guest lots and the Bonnie Brae parking structure. Tailgating for visiting fans is allowed in rooftop spaces of the structure.
