Hi, Beaver fan,

We can’t wait to see you on Saturday at the OSU Alumni and Friends Tailgater, presented by 10 Barrel Brewing Co. Please be sure to enter through VIP Entry 11—more details below.

This email provides information about joining Beaver Nation for the tailgater, as well as some logistical information that may be helpful as you get ready for the Jimmy Kimmel LA Bowl at SoFi Stadium.

Before game day

» Download the app: Your bowl game tickets and SoFi Stadium parking passes are paperless, so you’ll need to access the mobile app to get in. Download tickets to your mobile wallet prior to arriving at the stadium (screenshots will not work).

» Book your parking pass if you are driving to the stadium. The Brown Zone (Lots C and D) and Orange Zone (Lots E, F, G, H) offer the easiest access to the tailgater and access to Beaver seats for the game.

The tailgater and Fan Fest locations are a combination of indoor and outdoor spaces. Plan to dress in layers (of orange and black, of course) as it can get breezy and cooler throughout the day.

Arriving at the stadium and parking

Please allow yourself plenty of extra time!

If you booked a parking pass, Brown and Orange Zone lots open at 12:30 p.m.; here’s a map.

Ride sharing is available at SoFi Stadium; for a map and details, see the SoFi Stadium website. You may be able to be dropped off at Entrance 11, but you will need to book your return ride from the stadium’s designated ride share location on Kareem Court. Expect a wait to get picked up after the game.

Entering the stadium

Enter the stadium at VIP Entry 11 for the best way to get to the tailgater AND Beaver seats. This entrance opens at 2 p.m.; other stadium entrances open at 3 p.m.

Everything coming into the stadium must be in a clear bag. Look under “B” for Bag Policy on the stadium’s A to Z Guide.

Have your photo ID and COVID vaccination card (photos of vaccination cards are OK) or proof of a negative COVID-19 test (conducted within 72 hours before event start time) available and accessible. Here’s more on stadium safety protocols.

If you need ADA assistance, check with stadium staff, who can point you to elevators that will take you to the tailgater.

» 2 - 4:15 p.m. PT
» East Patio Canyon Plaza

The tailgater is sold out. Because we’ve reached our capacity, unregistered guests will not be admitted. We apologize for any inconvenience.

The tailgater is located inside the stadium. Game tickets are required for entry. Participants will check in at stadium VIP Entry 11 and receive a wristband and meal ticket, which are needed to receive food and beverages.

If you have friends or family who do not have tailgater tickets, the Cameo Fan Fest located at the American Airlines Plaza (2 - 4:30 p.m.) will be a fun activity for them. Everyone with game tickets can attend; it’s free, with food and drink available for purchase. Beavers with tickets to the OSUAA tailgater also are welcome to stop by the Fan Fest, but it’s a bit of a walk. Ask stadium staff if you need help with directions.

If you have questions about the tailgater, contact us at osualum@osualum.com.

See you there soon. Go Beavs!
