East Central Community College Announces Tailgating for 2024 Football Season

August 16, 2024

East Central Community College (ECCC) is excited to announce that tailgating will be allowed at ECCC home football games for the 2024 season, except homecoming on October 10th. This new offering is designed to enhance the game-day experience for fans, alumni, and the entire ECCC community. 

Tailgating spots will be available first-come, first-served, with each spot about 10 feet by 10 feet in size. Fans can set up on the southwest side of the field within the stadium grounds, where they may enter any time before 6 p.m. Tents, chairs, TVs, etc. are welcomed, but please be aware that fans must bring generators as electrical outlets will not be available.  

Please note that while tailgating is encouraged, there are a few important guidelines to ensure a safe and enjoyable environment for everyone: 

  • No alcoholic beverages or tobacco products (including vapes) are allowed on campus, in the stadium, or within tailgating areas. 

  • Fans are welcome to bring their own food and drinks, but no outside food or drinks can be brought into the stadium after 6 p.m. 

  • All tailgaters must purchase a game ticket to enter the stadium and participate in the tailgating experience. 

  • No vehicles/ATVs/golf carts will be allowed inside the stadium. Fans are welcome to drop off tailgating supplies at the gate for setup.  

“We are thrilled to offer this new tailgating opportunity for our fans,” said ECCC Director of Athletics, Paul Nixon. “We believe it will add to the excitement and atmosphere of our home games and provide a great way for our community to come together and support our Warriors.”
