Tailgating activities can create special risks to public safety due to the use of multiple open-flame cooking devices in close proximity to people, vehicles, buildings, structures and combustible vegetation. These guidelines are established to provide a set of minimum safety measures to be followed by persons wishing to engage in such activities.

Open-flame cooking devices shall not be operated within 25 feet of any building or structure and not within 10 feet of any motor vehicle. Charcoal grilling is not permitted in stadium operated parking lots.

A minimum clearance of 10 feet shall be maintained between any open-flame cooking device and dry vegetation, combustible materials, trash dumpsters or receptacles, or in close proximity to anything that can create a fire hazard.

Any parking area or lot being used for parking and tailgating activities shall be provided with metal containers for the safe disposal of coals, cinders or hot ashes. Containers shall be clearly labeled "For Coal and Ash Disposal Only." Any other trash receptacle or container shall not be used for such purpose.

Every effort shall be made to ensure that any coals or cinders are extinguished prior to disposal.

Open-flame cooking devices shall be attended at all times and shall not be used in parking decks or in any manner that will impede pedestrian or vehicle traffic. Any other type of outdoors burning or open fire, which is not part of a cooking device, is strictly prohibited.

Please follow all State and City guidelines regarding physical distance and group size and note that these guidelines may change throughout the season.

Bank of America Stadium does not have specific spaces for bicycle or scooter parking. There are available bike racks at Romare Bearden Park along Church St. The city of Charlotte encourages those renting scooter to be responsible when leaving them and not block sidewalks or roadways.
