Tailgating

Delaware Valley University encourages alumni, family, and fans to create a great game day atmosphere at DelVal home athletic contests. Go Aggies!


Delaware Valley University wants everyone to have a great experience! We ask that fans be respectful of those surrounding them, and remain mindful of their choice of language and activity. Individuals are expected to conduct themselves in a manner that reflects positively on DelVal.

Please be respectful and enjoy safe, responsible tailgating with your family and friends. Persons acting in a disruptive, disrespectful, or disorderly manner may be asked to leave the property. Students also may be charged with a violation of the Student Conduct Code.

Here are rules and guidelines that will help you plan and keep everyone safe.

Tailgating is permitted in parking lots A and E. Grills (see section below) are only permitted in E Lot and the grass area immediate parallel to the railroad tracks in A Lot.

  • The use of parking lot end caps and islands for tables, games or other tailgate set up is prohibited as it compromises pedestrian and vehicular safety and access.
  • To maximize parking availability for all fans, tailgaters must not use adjacent parking spaces for tables, chairs, etc. All parking spaces are reserved for motor vehicles on game days. Only one parking spot per vehicle is permitted.
  • Tailgating activity, including tables, games, or grills in any traffic lanes or pedestrian pathways is not permitted.

Tents/canopies must be securely anchored (no stakes) and must not obstruct driving lanes or pedestrian walkways. The University reserves the right to request they be taken down if they create obstructions.

Large groups or groups requiring institutional support in planning of gathering and may be prohibited unless sponsored by a University department and/or subject to additional University policies.

Enjoy your favorite music but please keep all music and audio at a volume that is respectful of tailgating neighbors.

Please help keep the DelVal campus beautiful. All groups are responsible for making sure that all their trash has been gathered and that their area is clean prior to departing from the game.

For safety reasons, grills are permitted only in the grassy areas contiguous to E Lot and the grass area immediately parallel to the railroad tracks in A Lot. Only propane grills are permitted for tailgating. Charcoal or open fires are not permitted. Grills are not allowed in or around motor vehicles or on the paved surface of the parking lots.
