Homecoming Tailgate FAQs:

Can parking spots be reserved for the tailgate before the Homecoming game?

Tailgating spaces must be paid for in advance to organize for the event. One vehicle will be permitted per tailgate spot. Participants that are leaving the tailgate and not attending the Homecoming game must park in the junior high teacher parking lot. This will help with traffic congestion.

What lots are open during the Homecoming tailgate?

Tailgating is only permitted in the designated area west of the junior high gym. Slots must be reserved in advance in the SHS office. Forty slots are available to purchase. The tailgating area will be open beginning at 3:35 p.m. on Friday, October 14, for set up.

What is the cost of parking for the tailgate?

Tailgating is $30 and must be purchased in advance. One vehicle will be permitted per tailgate spot.

Will there be tents or tables supplied for those who wish to tailgate before the game?

SHS will NOT provide tables or tents to groups that are tailgating. Groups must arrange to bring in their own supplies, as well as clean up after the tailgate is finished.

How will trash be disposed of at the tailgate?

Participants are responsible for the garbage in their area. Trash bins will be provided throughout the tailgate area until 6:00 p.m. Please be respectful of our campus and marching field by removing any and all trash after the tailgate. 

Are guests allowed to play music during the tailgate and game?

All music must be free of explicit language and graphic content. Volume must be respectful to surrounding tailgaters, tents, and activities. If music is excessive in volume or disruptive to surrounding community members, the group will be asked to lower the volume by law enforcement officers and/or administrators. Violation of this policy can result in removal from the Homecoming tailgate.
