Tips for Enjoying Game Day

• Be respectful of your fellow fans who are working on game day. Parking attendants, stadium staff, concession staff and other workers provide a safe, fun-filled experience for all who attend the games.
• If you serve alcoholic beverages, ensure that you have a sufficient number of designated drivers to accommodate your guests. Serve food and non-alcoholic beverages as well.
• If you drink, drink responsibly and pace your drinking. Know your limit. Watch out for your friends. Drinking laws are strictly enforced.
• Watch out for children. They are some of the most loyal fans and will carry on the School Spirit tradition.
• Observe safe principles of operation of barbecue pits and grills and open flame cooking. Properly store flammable liquids.
• Privately owned golf carts or unlicensed four wheelers are not permitted.
• Pick up after yourself and your party. Properly dispose of any trash or tailgate paraphernalia.
• Help us keep this a fun, safe and secure experience. If you see something dangerous or disruptive, say something to a Staff/Concierge team member.

Canopy Safety:

Your Guide to Canopy Safety at Brazos Parking, LLC (BP, LLC) whilst you are participating in an event as a space lease.

Most accidents involve wind-blown tents, canopies and umbrellas (all three structures hereinafter referred to as canopies) as unpredictable winds can come up at any moment, creating a safety hazard if the canopy is not properly secured.

Stakes or staking in any manner is not allowed.

We require all lessee’s to minimize the risk caused by canopies by following rules for canopy safety. Canopy weights must be attached to lessee canopies at all times. Lessee shall agree to the following policy as stated in the BP, LLC Rules & Regulations regarding canopy use.

“All canopies, including umbrellas, on-site at BP, LLC during events, including during setup and breakdown, are required to be sufficiently and safely weighted to the ground. Each leg of a 10 X 10 canopy must be anchored with no less than 24 pounds. Any guest who fails to properly weight his or her canopy may not be allowed to have an erected canopy, tent or umbrella.”

In certain inclement weather conditions, even properly secured canopies can be precarious. If canopies need to be taken down in the middle of an event due to inclement weather, lessee should direct guest to move out of the way so they are not injured.

Weights should be secured in a manner that does not create its own safety hazard

• Weights should not cause a tripping hazard.
• Weights should be tethered with lines that are clearly visible.
• Weights should be securely attached.
• Weights should be on the ground, NOT above peoples’ heads.

Sufficiently weighted canopies will have at least 24 pounds per leg. One canopy manufacturer recommends at least 40 pounds on each corner of a 10×10 tent, double that on a 10×20 tent; 50 pounds should be used for umbrellas. Weights for signs will vary depending on the size of sign.

Always be prepared. You should always have your canopy secured to the ground. It is not enough to have the tools necessary to secure your canopy on hand if you do not employ them. Strong gusts can come up without warning anywhere, at any time. After your canopy takes flight and causes damage, it is too late to decide to secure your canopy. You should assume winds will come; indeed, they often do.

Examples of good canopy weights

• Filling an empty bucket (5 gallon works great but consumes space) with water and tying this to each corner of the tent with a rope or strap. It is NOT sufficient to place the bucket on the feet of the canopy.
• Filling buckets/containers water that can be anchored or secured with a rope or strap; these include canvas bags or plastic buckets/containers that have a handle through which a rope or strap can be secured.
• Sandbag weights that are specially made for securing canopies and weigh at least 24 pounds. These sandbag weights are vertical and can be strapped to the legs of the canopy.
• The best weights are strapped to the bottom of each leg, and then tethered via a strap to the top corner of the canopy, thus lowering the center of gravity of the canopy. In a strong gust of wind, even canopies secured with enough weight can be broken if the weights are not suspended from the top corners of the canopy.

Commercial weighting systems are sold at most sporting stores (Academy, Bass Pro, Dicks, Gander Mountain and even Walmart)

Examples of Bad Canopy Weights

• Gallon water jugs are not heavy enough for large gusts of wind. One gallon of water weighs 8 pounds. One gallon of water on each corner would be the equivalent of a 3 year old child trying to hold down a 100 square foot parachute.
• Tying tents, canopies or umbrellas to tables, or coolers provides tripping hazards and frequently does not provide adequate weight. Leasee safety is just as important as guest safety.
• Sandbags that cannot be placed upright and securely tied to the tent or canopy should not be used.
• Keep in mind that cement blocks are hard, easy to trip over, and are very effective toe and shin breakers.
• At all costs, avoid stretched out cords and lines. Guest and their children will get them wrapped around their arms or legs, causing them to trip and fall, and perhaps pull over your canopy in the process

General rules for responsible tailgating

RV Activity

Our goal is to provide a fun, friendly and safe environment for all. To achieve our goal, we ask for and need the help of every RV owner and their guests. The best way to ensure a great experience for all is to simply be a good neighbor.

Part of being a good neighbor means minimizing noise and disruption for others. Being a good neighbor is also recognizing and accepting the fact that you may be in a parking lot that is converted into a temporary site for special events.

Tent camping or camping in tow vehicles, pickup trucks or vehicles not designated as RVs by TXDOT is prohibited.

RV Lots are for Texas Department of Transportation (TXDOT) recognized recreational vehicles only. BP, LLC reserves the right to remove any vehicle that is not appropriate for the RV area. RV permits are for RVs only and may not be used for any other vehicles.

Party buses, trailers, vans, keg vans, etc., that do not meet the definition of a recreational vehicle are prohibited in RV space.

The RV must be confined to only one RV space. Tow vehicle spaces are not and will not be assigned. You must not encroach on the assigned space of another guest with your RV, tow vehicle, tents or awnings.

Security Tips

Tailgaters should be more aware of the possibility of thefts while they are attending games or otherwise away from their belongings, advise. Watch out for your neighbor and notify Police of any concerns.

No items of value should be left unattended. If the items cannot be adequately secured at the tailgating site, they should be stored inside a vehicle. Also, personal property should be marked or engraved with the owner’s driver’s license number. That would aid in the return of the property if it is lost or stolen.

Fans don’t lie, cheat, or steal, nor tolerate those who do, but not everyone who visits our park is an fan, so take the necessary precautions to protect yourself and your personal property. Remember, if you see any suspicious or criminal activity, report it to Police immediately.
