I’ve been researching and it seems as if any parking close to the stadium is permit only.

Curious what Tiger fans have done in the past for tailgating at this away game. Any place to just set up a few tents in a grass lot?

Went we played them last up there in 2007. Plenty grassed space around stadium and campus where you could put up a tent.

My biggest memory is how crazed they were about cornhole. I've never seen a place where literally every tailgate seemed to have cornhole set up and people playing it. They went ape $hit after beating us in 2007, but weren't in your face yelling at you (like Tennessee baseball fans this year).

I would be disappointed if they don’t have plenty of bourbon

The area around the football stadium is all concrete and neighborhood. I’ve been to UK football tailgates before. We actually sat around a tailgate of a pickup truck and ate KFC. I walked around the stadium, and that was all there was. That’s was about 9 years ago. Fwiw, I live a mile away from the stadium, and I don’t see any difference when I drive by on game day. Who knows, maybe this year will be different.

However, you can set up a tailgate tent in the grass on the hill at Keeneland with the other 5,000 tents that will be doing the same thing you’re asking about and just catch the shuttle to the stadium. Your stadium tailgate options are limited. It’s just sit on a tailgate in a parking lot by the stadium. That’s all they do on campus for tailgating.

Keeneland is a much bigger deal here than football.

Kentucky fans for some reason get upset if you cook an entire horse at your tailgate.

One of my favorite road trips. We toured bourbon distilleries, watched some horse racing , simple tailgate, went and watched the tigers lose in overtime.

Great place to go.
