Tailgate reservations must be made by 5 p.m. on Wednesday, Oct. 14.

Bison tattoos, beads and pom poms will be available at the Alumni Association tent. Attendees can listen to the Gold Star Band and meet fellow NDSU fans. Hamburgers, hot dogs, chips and soda will be available for purchase. Hot chocolate, coffee and water will be available for free, compliments of the Alumni Association. Due to SDSU tailgate policies, alcohol will NOT be available for purchase at the tent. If you have alcohol, it must be in a can with a koozie, plastic bottle in a koozie or plastic cup.
