Vanderbilt University issued a statement Monday notifying fans traveling to Nashville for this weekend’s game about limitations on tailgating.
Since Vanderbilt is located in the downtown Nashville area, parking is extremely limited.
For people planning to set up tailgates, Vanderbilt recommends fans use the Harris-Hillman School across the street from campus, which welcomes recreation vehicles and has ample parking.
Another option is Fannie Mae Dees Park, located a block from Harris-Hillman. Fannie Mae Dees is a public park with room for RVs and large vehicles, but alcohol and parking on the grass are prohibited along with the use of tents or open grills without a permit.
Vanderbilt has on-campus parking garages for those wishing to drive to the game and walk around the campus.
People can park on the streets of the metro Nashville area, but parking is tight, and businesses and residents ask people not to block driveways.
Nashville-area police will patrol the area, look for litter and issue tickets, according to the statement.
