BUM’S BARKING LOT (The Locals Pre-Game Party)
Since tailgating in the traditional sense is prohibited at USD, we will be holding an SG pregame with food, drinks, and games!
The event will be held north of the Jenny Craig Pavilion (parking info below) near the baseball field (see map [Link to Google Maps]. Signage will be in place to help guide you to the event. Alcohol will be served, but the event is open to all ages. The event will start at 5pm until 7:15pm.
Highlights will include the arrivals of the Loyal and the away side during the pregame event and The March To The Match. The March To The Match will be at 7pm and we will march to greet the players entering the stadium.
This is a ticketed event, so you are required to have a ticket to the game to enter Bum’s Barking Lot. You and your bags will be checked prior to entering the event (stadium policy below). This allows us to enter the stadium at the end of the March. Bathrooms will be available for use. All food and drink vendors will accept cash and cards. No animals, other than service and party, will be allowed.
MARCH TO THE MATCH
At approximately 45 minutes until kickoff, the March To The Match will start. The March will start at Bum’s Barking Lot and go up the West side of the Jenny Craig Pavilion to the traffic circle. Once the March reaches the traffic Circle, The Locals will form up around the walkway to the stadium. The Loyal and the away team will walk by on their way into the stadium. The Locals will then be let into the stadium for the match. The March will proceed to The Locals Section (109).
