Texas A&M (College Station, TX)

Aggie Park: This is probably the most known spot for Aggies tailgating on gameday. You’ll be right there as the Aggies walk into the stadium as well surrounded by pageantry for Gig ‘em nation.

Midnight Yell: Although not a tailgate, this is an A&M tradition worth mentioning. The Midnight Yell happens the night before an Aggies home game in which fans pack Kyle Field and are led in rehearsing chants by the yell crew.

Texas (Austin, TX)

Stadium Tailgating: Seems simple and not much to it right? Maybe, but with a crowd consistently of over 105,000, Darrell K Royal Texas Memorial Stadium is always packed. And the parking lots are as well. Grab some good food and make some new friends.

Bevo Boulevard: Wear burnt orange and you will be impossible to spot. This prime tailgating spot is a street lined sidewalk to sidewalk with tents and fans. It is quite the spectacle.

Vanderbilt (Nashville, TN)

Vandyville: Located at the southwest corner of the stadium, Vandyville is by far the most popular spot for tailgating before games. Vandy fans will come out in droves to get ready for the game.
