Hey Gamecocks! This year’s tailgate season will begin on Saturday, September 19th on Dillon Field. I am excited for this year’s season. I have enclosed a list of the tailgate dates, times, and themes. Whichever organization best adheres to the theme and shows the most school spirit will be awarded a monetary “Spirit Award.” The rules and regulations are also attached. Please look over them and feel free to contact with regards to any questions. The SGA Officers will give each organization one warning if they are breaking any of those rules and after that, UPD will escort them off the field. Should this occur more than once your tailgate spot can be revoked and you will not be allowed to tailgate on Dillon Field. Please encourage your members to be smart and have fun. We will encourage everyone to begin entering the Stadium fifteen minutes prior to kick-off. Our student section is now blocked off and you will have to show your student ID to enter. Please come and show your School pride and help cheer on our fellow Gamecocks! Please remember that you are allowed to leave your tailgate items on the field during the game, however the SGA is not responsible for any lost or damaged items. Lastly, I would like to welcome all of you back to Jacksonville State University. Lets show our new University President how much Gamecock Pride we have! As the leader of your organization, it is your responsibility to inform ALL of your members of the information in this packet so we can be prepared for a great season! If you have any questions please contact me at any time. Get Cocky and Go Gamecocks! Tyler J.
