NDSU Athletics and Team Makers are excited to announce a new early set-up option for the 2025 Bison football season! Fans with reserved tailgating spots can now set up their space on Friday nights from 4:00–7:00 p.m. in lots E, F, and G at the Fargodome.

Please review the important guidelines below to ensure a smooth experience for all:

All guests are required to exit the above listed lots by 7:00pm on Friday night.
Tailgating activities are not permitted in the tailgating lots during this time.
Alcohol consumption is not permitted in Fargodome lots E, F and G during this Friday set up time - consumption and possession of alcohol is prohibited until 5 hours before kickoff on game days.
Electrical hookups are not available.
Tents, canopies and tarps can be set up at the owner’s expense and risk. NDSU Athletics and the Fargodome are not responsible for any damages or lost property.
Reserved tailgating parking passes must be visible while vehicle is entering Lots E, F and G during tailgate set-up hours.
All vehicles parked in tailgate spots not allocated and/or reserved by vehicle’s owner will be subject to be towed at owner’s expense and risk.
Open flame fires, including fire pits, are prohibited in tailgating lots. The use of Propane and charcoal grills are also not permitted during this Friday designated set up time period.
Please be aware that individuals who violate the above rules and regulations will be asked to leave the property and be subject to legal penalties and the potential loss of tailgating privileges.
There are two dates where Friday set-up will not be allowed due to other large events happening at the Fargodome- the tailgating lot will be used for parking. Reminders will be sent out each of these weeks.

Friday, October 31st due to the MN HS sectionals

Communication and advertising has never been NDSU athletics forte. I didn't know about it either until now

Glad they are allowing it but I’m not sure there is value for our group. I don’t trust a tent to stay in place overnight. I also don’t trust anyone else’s tent to stay in place and not dent our trailer as it flies through the lot.

If I had a big bus I might park it ahead of time.

News to me as well - the email from Team Makers announcing this was in my spam folder.

Confirmed today that they're cabling the lot off right at 7, which is a bummer for the out of town crowd. I was excited to be able to pull the rig into town and leave it in the lot vs having to drag it to a hotel, all while not having to leave work early. Guess I can't have it all.

Friday night will be so fun, you are going to miss out. Unlimited 3-hours of tailgate set-up with no actual tailgating or drinking allowed! Good job Team Makers, NDSU Athletics, FargoDome and Fargo PD -- this is exactly what many have been asking to have for the last couple 13-14 years.

You guys are just useless taxpayers up there who are to be treated like children. Can't expect the power mongers of Fargo to give up their grip on the mighty Fargodome which they treat like a maximum security prison on Gameday. Why not just open the place up from Friday night until Saturday morning to park reserved space vehicles and to setup tents with no tailgating allowed. Just require people to leave when done parking and setting up. I think that would work just fine, but the a-holes who run the place just assume the worst.
