Tailgating Start time for Campbell?

Does anyone know the "official" start time for the later games? It doesn't seem like this has been addressed.

All that tailgateattherock.com has is "* PLEASE NOTE - All tailgate site opening times will be determined based on the kickoff time for each home game, which will be set no earlier than 12 days prior to the date of the game, per Sun Belt Conference and ESPN contracts."

I assume that the lot will be open all day because the students have to move their cars the night before, but I know no one wants to get there and be sent home either.

They're really going to have a problem with the TBA games unless they can either get the info updated on the web site or have a standard policy.

I think the official policy is three hours prior to kick-off.

IIRC, for 6pm games in recent years they officially opened the Rivers Street Deck at noon. I'm not sure if that has changed though. I think alcohol is only allowed starting 3 1/2 hours before kickoff.

I seen that listed but I think they opened the 3:30 games at 9:00. Maybe that wasn't official but they had security letting people in then and it would start filling up about 10:30 - 11:30. Or maybe I just forgot. I just don't want to make everyone move their cornhole boards. Thanks

I think the lots are open but you are not to supposed to officialy start tailgaiting until 3 or so hours before kickoff.

IIRC the alcohol deal is 3 1/2 hours before kickoff. For other night games I've generally arrived around noon and been able to park and start cooking without any trouble. Is it Saturday yet?

Per an email from the Yosef Club, parking lots open at 10am on Saturday.

Thanks,

I'm planning on around 12:30 - 1:30 and just wanted to make sure I could get in. It's not a lot of fun riding around with 7 in 5 seats after packing the others with stuff.
