BRIDGEWATER STATE UNIVERSITY HOMECOMING ‘24

 

We are excited to be welcoming you back to campus for our annual Homecoming celebration on Saturday, October 5th, 2024! With the Swenson Field Lot at capacity and upwards of over 6000 alumni, family and friends anticipated, we ask that you observe the following guidelines:

1. The Swenson Field Lot will open at 10:00 AM on Homecoming morning.

2. All Massachusetts and Bridgewater State University alcohol consumption and distribution laws will be strictly enforced. We ask that all guests of legal age consume alcohol responsibly.

3. Display your pass on your rearview mirror and park in the Swenson Field Lot, which is adjacent to the football field, on Tinsley Drive. Please have the pass in place on your mirror as you approach the lot, so the police officers and staff can see it and allow you into the lot.

4. By using your pass, you agree to abide by the BSU tailgating rules and regulations.

5. Parking is available on a first-come first-served basis for all those who have purchased a tailgate pass.

8. Saving parking spaces will not be permitted. Groups desiring to tailgate together should plan to meet in advance and arrive together.

9. A guest in possession of more than one pre-paid parking permit will not be allowed to use the additional permit(s) to occupy an increased number of spaces for tailgating.

10. Parking lot staff will hold reserved tailgating spots until 2:30PM.   

11. Driving aisles and fire lanes need to be always kept clear for free access of emergency vehicles.

12. Trailers, buses, RVs, and other oversized vehicles are not permitted to park in the Swenson Field Lot.
