Saturday’s Tailgate policy

After a huge 49-28 win over N.C. State, Duke football takes on Maryland this Saturday at 1:30 p.m. in Wallace Wade Stadium. Coach Cutcliffe and the boys look to feed off our energy on Saturday, so let’s show up in full force!

Tailgate this Saturday will run from 10 a.m. to 12:45 p.m. in the first lot of the Blue Zone. Grill distribution will begin at 9:30 a.m. Cars must enter between 9:30 a.m. and 10 a.m. If you’re on foot you won’t be allowed in until 10 a.m.  

The same guidelines are in effect for this Tailgate as the last Tailgate. If you want Tailgate to continue it is very important that you follow these guidelines. Most importantly, don’t stand on cars and don’t throw beer cans. After talking with administrators, it is clear that Tailgate’s future is at stake. Please heed this simple request to avoid ruining Tailgate for those who enjoy it responsibly.    As with last Tailgate, registration is on the DSG Web site from now until Thursday at 2 p.m.. Each group will be assigned a 5-minute registration window in the tailgate lottery occurring Thursday night from 7:15 p.m. to 10 p.m. based on previous compliance with Tailgate guidelines.  

Don’t forget, tickets are still on sale for both the football and basketball games on Saturday, so bring your parents along. To buy tickets, call the Duke Ticket Office at 877-375-DUKE (3853).   Lastly, enjoy Tailgate in moderation because our Football team is hot coming off their big win at N.C. State, and Saturday will make for a great game.

Go Duke!
