Tailgating is an enjoyable part of the game day fan experience. UCLA is committed to creating a fan-friendly environment that is safe for all to enjoy. You as fans play an important role. For your safety and the enjoyment of all, we ask that you please help by observing these tailgating guidelines:

• Pasadena Police, security and parking personnel will be present to ensure that you enjoy the game in a safe and comfortable environment.

• Tailgating Ambassadors will continuously patrol the lots to provide information and assistance and to ensure that tailgaters comply with established guidelines. Tailgating Ambassadors will be dressed in green uniforms and will be on bicycles.

• General parking lots (golf course, ball diamonds, Area H, West Drive RV parking) open six (6) hours prior to kick-off. Wooden Athletic Fund and Staff Reserved Lots (C, D, F, G, I, K, M, P) with permits open earlier. When entering the parking lot, it is important to follow directions from parking personnel. Please note that there are no "in and out" privileges for vehicles.
