TAILGATING REGISTRATION

Elmira College in conjunction with the Athletics Department has announced a more structured tailgating policy to offer a quality game day experience that is family-friendly and safe for all fans. In order to do so, we require adherence by all parents, alumni, fans, and visiting teams to the tailgating policy. In addition to the expectations outlined in this policy, all Elmira College students remain responsible for adhering to all policies outlined in the student code of conduct.
