Additionally, Lafayette Athletics has organized a centralized tailgating experience in the Markle Parking Deck for all home football games.The tailgating space allotted for larger tailgates of 10+ people will be located on the first level of the deck in the Southeast corner to ensure there is no obstruction to traffic flow and our parking spaces on the various levels. Lafayette College Athletics will provide a complimentary allotment of tables and chairs in the new tailgate area on a first-come, first-serve basis.   

Tailgating is permitted on levels two and three of the Markle Parking Deck. However, larger tailgates with 10+ people will be directed to the new tailgate area on the first level, as we look to enhance vehicular traffic flow and separate pedestrians to provide a safe experience for everyone.
