Where to Tailgate
Tailgating at Maryland centers around Lot 1 and the grassy fields south of the stadium, where Terp fans fire up grills hours before kickoff.
๐Ÿบ
Food & Drinks
The scene features Maryland blue crabs, pit beef sandwiches, and Old Bay-seasoned everything โ€” a true taste of the state.
โฐ
Timing & Arrival
Arrive at least three hours early for the best parking spots and to soak in the pregame energy.

Parking Reality

PRO TIP
Grab a pit beef sandwich from a Lot 1 tailgate โ€” it's a Maryland delicacy you won't find at other Big Ten venues.
