Tailgating at Sacramento State centers around Parking Lot 10 and the green spaces adjacent to Hornet Stadium, where fans fire up grills and set up canopies hours before kickoff.
🍺
Food & Drinks
Arrive at least two hours early to soak in the pregame scene — locals are friendly and often share food and drinks with visiting fans.
⏰
Timing & Arrival
The campus dining options are limited on game days, so bringing your own spread is highly recommended.
🅿️
Parking Reality
Parking fills up fast in the lots closest to the stadium, so early arrival also guarantees a prime tailgate spot with easy access to the gates.

PRO TIP
Grab tri-tip sandwiches from a local Sacramento deli beforehand — it's a Central Valley tailgate staple you can't miss.
