THE GRID
Bearcats Football and the 1200 Club are proud to announce the beginning of a new and unique on-campus tailgating opportunity beginning this September; THE GRIDIRON TAILGATE. THE GRID is made up of 100 tailgating plots stretched across Campus Green giving fans the chance to bring their pre-game parties to the heart of campus. The 1200 Club is determined to develop the pre-game culture of Bearcats Football and create the best possible game day atmosphere for our fans and for our team as they step off the bus and the CATWALK rolls through campus.
Details:
- Plots are sold on a season-long basis (4 home games at Nippert Stadium) for a flat rate of $150
- The deadline for plot requests is Friday, August 12, 2011
- Average plot size is approximately 20' x 16'.
- The 100 spaces will be awarded first to George D. Smith Society members and 1200 Club members. Additional remaining spaces will be allocated according to UCATS giving level and then priority points within.
- Drop-off zones allow plot holders the ability to conveniently unload their tailgating supplies near the site (view THE GRID MAP for locations).
- Plot holders may bring their own food, beverages, and tailgating supplies including grills, coolers, tables, chairs, and small tents.
