Bluefield, WV – Bluefield State University football fans can once again enjoy one of college football's favorite traditions this fall—tailgating at Mitchell Stadium. The Big Blue game day atmosphere kicks off in the lots, with the stadium gates opening two hours before kickoff.

Fans can reserve season-long or single-game tailgating spaces. Premium spots (1–10) are available for $125 per game or $400 for the season, and standard spots (11–38) are available for $50 per game or $200 for the season. Spaces can be reserved online here and paid for here.

Grills and approved cooking appliances are permitted, but safety is a priority—fans should properly dispose of coals, avoid blocking roadways, and keep a fire extinguisher handy when cooking. Each tailgater is responsible for cleaning up their space following the game. For more information regarding rules and regulations, visit here.

"Tailgating at Mitchell Stadium is all about community," said Ashley Rasnake, Assistant Athletic Director. "It's a chance for fans to come together, celebrate Big Blue football, and make game day an experience for everyone."
