OXFORD, Miss. - As Ole Miss welcomes rival Mississippi State to Vaught-Hemingway Stadium Saturday, fans should be aware of new tailgating and existing stadium policies that will help make for an exciting gameday atmosphere.
Kickoff of the Egg Bowl, which is televised by ESPNU, is set for 6 p.m. CT, and the official fan color of the game is blue. The South parking lot opens at noon, and the Rebels' traditional walk through The Grove will be at 3:45 p.m.
GROVE OPENS EARLY
The University of Mississippi campus will open at 7 a.m. Friday for tailgating setup.
The campus normally remains closed to tailgaters on Fridays before home football games so classes and other normal operations are not disturbed. However, since the university is closed for the Thanksgiving holiday, tailgaters can arrive early for the game to set up tents, said Andrew Mullins, chair of the Ole Miss gameday committee.
"We will allow fans to set up for tailgating Friday morning, but people need to be aware that the university is not responsible for any property left unattended on campus," Mullins said. "The university will not provide extra security to watch people's private property."
