NEWARK, Del. – The University of Delaware Department of Athletics, Community, and Campus Recreation (DACCR) is expanding student tailgating opportunities, it was announced Thursday.
"Our staff has been very intentional in having conversations and working directly with various student groups on campus to understand the experience they want to have at our games," Director of Athletics, Community, and Campus Recreation Chrissi Rawak said. "I am incredibly excited about where we have landed. There is no doubt that having our students at all home events cheering on their peers is really important and it continues to build a sense of Blue Hen pride."
Students, including organized groups such as registered student organizations, Greek life, and others will be able to reserve spaces in the lot off Sincock Lane behind Bob Hannah Stadium where baseball plays. Non-organized groups can also participate in the enhanced student tailgate lot.
"Having our student body at our games makes a world of difference," Head Football Coach Ryan Carty said. "We want Delaware Stadium to be a difficult place to play and our students play an integral role in creating that environment."
The lot will consist of 20 10'x10' spaces. Two packages are available for students to purchase. The first is an unfurnished space for $50 or a furnished space for $199. The furnished space includes a tent, an eight-foot table, and six chairs. Each space has one parking space associated with the purchase.
For all spaces purchased, students will be able to bring their own furniture, excluding charcoal grills. Permissible items include but are not limited to tables, chairs, tents, propane or electric grills, lawn games, speakers, food, drink, etc.
Students will be able to reserve a space and request a tent package via a landing page and form on the BlueHens.com/Cockpit website. Tailgating spaces will open four hours prior to kickoff and remain open two hours after the conclusion of the game. Students will be required to make final reservations by 5 p.m. on the Monday before the game during a traditional Saturday game week. All reservations will need to be paid in full by 5 p.m. on Wednesdays prior to gameday.
