Finally, you can direct any ADA parking question to the parking attendants working the parking garages at the arena.
Can you Tailgate at the Stadium?
Tailgating takes place at the green lawn area at State Farm Stadium before every football game. Parking lots open four hours before kick-off, so it’s best to arrive early if you want to tailgate.
In addition to tailgating in the parking lots, you can also visit the local bars around the stadium before or after a game. Some bars to visit include Whiskey Rose, Fat Tuesday Westgate, and Yard House. In addition to those places, you can also visit Bar Louie, Native Grill and Wings, and The Nest.
