The following tailgating etiquette is in effect to ensure a safe and enjoyable tailgating experience for our fans. The Department of Physical Education, Athletics and Recreation encourages fans to arrive early, tailgate, and enjoy Fighting Scots Athletics.

Our students, faculty, staff and fans are all valuable members of The College of Wooster family and your attendance and participation at the games is a big part of our success. In order to make your attendance and that of those with and around you a positive one, our number one priority for tailgating is for your safety. Enjoy the game and GO SCOTS!
