You will need your ticket to enter the stadium, but you do not need a receipt to enter the tailgate – Penn Alumni staff will check you off of our pre-registered list and give you a Penn name tag.  At that time, you will also get your pre-ordered tickets.

If you have not pre-registered for the event, please feel free to walk on.  Entrance to the tailgate is $20 for adults and $15 for children.  Football tickets are available on game day, but only through the Harvard Box Office in the Murr Center.

From our Harvard colleagues, these are the best directions to the tailgate location and the visitor’s parking. 

Enter the stadium area from Soldiers Field Road through Gate 14, which will be marked with banners and Harvard volunteers, for the visitors’ parking.  The parking is immediately through this gate.  The rate is $20 per car.

The tailgate tent will be in front of you and slightly to the left as you enter through gate 14.  It will sit on the edge of the parking area, between the parking lot and the stadium.  It will be labeled with a Penn banner and blue and red balloons. 

If you are accessing the stadium complex through other entry points, there will be Harvard Volunteer stationed throughout who can direct you to the visitors’ parking and tailgate areas.

For directions from the T, take the Red Line to Harvard Square and walk from the center of campus down JFK Street to the Charles, cross the Charles and the road becomes N. Harvard Road.  Enter the complex at Gate 1, which is the first gate on the corner.  The volunteers will be able to direct you through the complex to the visitor’s parking/tailgate area.
