Welcome to Ute Hub! Hopefully you enjoy your time at the game.
The biggest tailgating lot is east of the stadium in a large pay lot. I know that a lot of people also tailgate wherever they park (we do near the business building). Here’s the game day timeline sent for the BYU game (I’m not sure how similar it will be for AZ). Before the Ute Walk, the marching band and cheerleaders do a brief thing and lead the group over, I’d guess 30-45 min before the Ute Walk.
In terms of traditions, the most…interesting(?) thing is Red Thunder. I recommend plugging your ears when it finishes or there may be a ringing for a few minutes. Great food joint I recommend is The Pie (very popular). I expect a color coordinating of some sort, red out, we did the black out vs USC, checkered vs SUU. Anyone else think of any other traditions? We do have a sweet TV and sound system FWIW.
