Atmosphere
Tailgating is a huge part of the Murray State game day experience, and everywhere you look before the game you’ll see a sea of tents and grills. The parking lots outside Stewart Stadium and Tent City inside Stewart Stadium are filled with tailgaters grilling and having fun before the game, meaning you’ll want to get here four hours before the game to enjoy all the tailgating festivities.
One of the coolest tailgate areas at Murray State is Tent City, which takes place inside the stadium before the game. Tent City is home to all kinds of student organizations and other stands. You’ll also have the opportunity to network with alumni here before the game making it a fantastic place for students to tailgate before the game.
You won’t want to miss the opportunity to tailgate with Murray State fans before the game, so arrive early and enjoy everything a Racers tailgate has to offer.
