Join the fun at Butler's Biggest Tailgate. Fans have
several tailgating options.
- Option one is a single car parking pass for $8 and includes a
parking space for your vehicle and space for your tailgate.
RV/Campers are welcome for a cost of $25.
- Are you looking for the opportunity to
tailgate in the best location on game day? Fans can also
choose to be part of Bulldog Boulevard, a section of tents where
fans can set-up their tailgate. A Bulldog Boulevard tailgate
pass is $50 and includes rental of a 10'x 10' canopy tent, one
Hinkle Fieldhouse parking space near Bulldog Boulevard, one 6 foot
table, and a sign identifying your tent. Fans provide food,
drinks, friends, and a great tailgating atmosphere. We are looking
for true blue Butler fans that can bring energy and excitement to
this game day tailgating experience. Many alumni associations and
colleges will be hosting tailgate tents. See listings within
schedule below for details.
- Finally, if you don't want to bring food and stay at your
vehicle, Chick-fil-A will be selling $5 breakfast combos from 9
a.m. - noon. A picnic area will also be available for those
looking for seating.
Tailgating space is limited and reservations will be accepted on
a first-come, first-served basis as the Hinkle lot typically sells
out for Homecoming. Bulldog Boulevard tailgating is from 8 a.m. -
until 5 p.m. or 2.5 hours after the game, whichever comes
first. Please see Athletics'
complete tailgating policy.
