Parking
The tailgate takes place in Lot 1 on campus, which is a season-ticket
permit lot. Most of you will not have a permit. One option is the Baptist
church along Campus Drive, which offers gameday cash parking. Click
the link for directions. The Methodist
church along Campus
Drive also
offers gameday cash parking for either $10 or $15 and opens about 5
hours prior to
kickoff. Note these
lots can fill up rather fast
and that Route 1 in College Park becomes very congested in the hours
leading up to a game. Another option is to park on Route 193
(University Blvd.), but this would be a decent walk. Cleanup of the
tailgate will
begin about one hour prior to kickoff. Click
here for a low-resolution PDF map of the
parking/tailgate area that's suitable for color printing.
About
Family Day
The annual Family Day at the A-Game Tailgate has become one of our best
traditions. At one game a year, we show our appreciation for all our
parents and family members have done for us by treating them to game
tickets. They respond by bringing their signature homemade dishes for
the tailgate, and the result is a huge feeding frenzy that often leaves
participants rolling home instead of driving. Some of the dishes we've
gorged ourselves on in years past include Becca's dip, Father
Atkinson's BBQ chicken, Mother Krome's baklava, Rona's cookies, and of
course the standard Brats, lamb chops, and salmon, etc.
Maryland Victory Song
(Click
here to hear it!)
Maryland, we're all behind you
Raise high, the black and gold!
For there is nothing half so glorious
As to see our team victorious!
We've got the team boys, we've got the steam boys,
So keep on fighting, don't give in!
M-A-R-Y-L-A-N-D!
Maryland will win!
