The parking lots outside Daytona Stadium are packed full of fans tailgating well before the game creating a festive feel that no college football fan or tailgating fanatic would want to miss.
Everywhere you look, you’ll see Wildcats fans grilling, drinking, and dancing. The liveliness of the tailgating and the friendliness of the fans make it easy to join in the festivities.

Finally, make sure to attend the Legacy Walk before the game as it’s an excellent way to get into the Wildcat spirit. The Legacy Walk allows you to see all your favorite players up close and give them some last-minute encouragement.
