Football Game Day Information
Boston College vs. UCONN
Saturday, October 18
Get to Alumni Stadium Early:听Heavy vehicle and foot traffic will likely delay entry to the stadium. We strongly encourage students to arrive 60-90 minutes before kickoff to ensure smooth entry.
Pre-Game Tailgating:听TBD
Mod Entry Restriction:听30 minutes prior to kick-off entry to the Mods will be restricted to "Mods Residents Only" to facilitate clearing the Mods for the game.
During the Game:听Please remember that听tailgating during the game is prohibited.
Post-Game Tailgating: No听post-game tailgating is allowed,听neither in the Mods nor any other location across campus. 听Are you planning to visit the Mods on game day?听You must be 21 years or older to enter the Mods during tailgating hours. Be prepared to present a government-issued ID to security staff at the gates prior to entry. Students who 1) attempt to jump the Mods fence or 2) who are under 21 years old in the Mods risk losing the privilege to live in the Mods for their senior year.
Guidelines for Off-Campus Students:听Please be mindful that underage drinking is prohibited. Additionally, drinking games, open containers in public spaces (including sidewalks), excessive noise, or frequent comings and goings of students are likely to result in neighbor complaints and conduct reports. Boston and Newton Police, along with University Officials, will be in the community throughout the day to address any concerns. If you need assistance, please communicate with University Officials and follow their guidance.
91滴滴aring:听Help cultivate a culture of care for everyone, including game day staff, classmates, and visiting fans. Treat everyone courteously and look out for your friends. If you or someone you know needs help, don't hesitate to use our听help-seeking policy听and get assistance. Let's cheer on our Eagles while showing hospitality and respect to everyone visiting The Heights!
