With Georgia clinching its third-straight SEC East title on Saturday, it’s time to start thinking about Atlanta.
Sure, there’s the annual clash with the North Avenue Trade School the weekend after Thanksgiving, but we’re talking about the real contest in Atlanta.
The SEC Championship Game, of course.
An essential part of any tailgate is “where to park?” Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta has a variety of tailgating options. These include the infamous “Gulch” next to the stadium, to the upscale The Home Depot Backyard, to an immersive RV experience at The Marshalling Yard.
In past years, parking for the SEC Championship has sold out quickly, and prices for parking passes are often listed for 4x – 10x face value on the secondary market.
By going to the Mercedes-Benz Stadium website, Georgia fans may purchase parking for their tailgate at face value now before spots are sold out.
The rules for tailgating at Mercedes-Benz Stadium are as follows:
• Tailgating before events is allowed in all flat parking lots, and is specifically prohibited in the campus multi-level garages. When purchasing lots from parking.mercedesbenzstadium.com, look for the tailgating icon.
• Vehicles may take up only one parking space, and tailgating equipment may not extend beyond the parking space, or impede vehicles driving through the lot.
• Grills, chairs, coolers and other equipment may not take up a parking space. Tailgating is confined to the area directly behind the vehicle.
• Adjacent landscaped areas are common areas and may not be claimed exclusively.
• Dispose of trash in appropriate receptacles. Dispose of coals in coal containers provided in the lots.
We hope to see a sea of red in Atlanta both on 11/30 and 12/7 for what could be two extra special days for Dawg Nation.
Let’s spread the word and grab those passes before LSU comes calling with gumbo stew and corn dogs ready to boil.
Go Dawgs!
