Nothing beats a Saturday in Stillwater, and tailgating is at the heart of the Cowboy gameday experience. If you're planning to set up on campus, here are a few things to know:
  • Location: Most tailgating happens on the OSU campus around Boone Pickens Stadium. Reserved spaces are available, but you'll also see plenty of fans in the open areas.
  • Timing: Tailgating typically begins 46 hours before kickoff (earlier for bigger games).
  • Parking: Gameday parking fills up fast, so plan ahead and consider shuttle services if you're staying further out.
  • Official Rules & Guidelines: OSU has clear policies on tents, grills, alcohol, and setup/teardown times. You can find the full details here: OSU Tailgating Policies.
