If you’ve registered to attend the Vanderbilt University tailgate this Saturday, Sept. 16, beginning at 3:30 p.m. and the Vanderbilt vs. Kansas State football game that follows at 6:30 p.m., you’ll want to pay close attention to the new SEC clear-bag policy.
The annual Vanderbilt University Employee Tailgate will be held at Recreation Field No. 2 and will feature food, games, music and fun. Remember to allow extra time to take your vendor giveaways from the tailgate back to your vehicle before you enter the stadium.
