Football Game Day Alcohol Restriction
Responsible tailgating is a time-honored tradition here at Penn State. In order to provide greater support to the Penn State Football team, Penn State University will no longer permit alcohol consumption in the parking lots while the football game is underway—from kick off to the final play.
Tailgating before and after the game is a great game day tradition—a time for reunions of family, friends, and alumni—and the University is pleased to serve as hosts to these gatherings. Increasingly in recent years, some people have used football Saturdays as simply an excuse to stage an all-day drinking party in the University's parking lots and have lost the true spirit of Penn State football. This restriction has been created to support the tradition of pride displayed by football fans and create a favorable environment for the great majority of our guests. Failure to comply with this directive may result in both administrative and criminal sanctions. Be responsible when showing your Penn State spirit!
