ODU Full-Service Tailgating

What is a Full-Service Tailgate?

Kaufman Mall is the ultimate destination for Monarch fans on football game days. Starting 4 hours before kickoff, the Kaufman Mall Fan Fest comes alive with live music, a beer garden, kids’ zone, and energetic performances by the Monarch Marching Band, Cheer, and Spirit teams—and that’s just the beginning!

Want to be at the center of all the excitement? Purchase a full-service tailgate and secure your spot in the heart of the action.

Leave the heavy lifting to us! Forget about the hassle of packing up, setting up, and breaking down your tailgate—we’ve got it covered. Simply choose your package, and we’ll reserve your space, handle the setup, and take care of the teardown when the game begins. All you have to do is show up, enjoy the pre-game festivities with fellow ODU fans, and head to the stadium for kickoff.

We offer catering and bartending packages to elevate your tailgate, or feel free to bring your own food and beverages!

Yes!  We offer catering packages through our official on-campus concessionaire, Aramark.  We offer food and beverage programs for groups of all sizes.  Beverage programs include cash bars, open bars and drink tickets.  Additional information and pricing is available through your sales representative. 

Due to logistical limitations and communication, we will only allow approved University caterers on the premisis.  To request a specific vendor/caterer, please reach out to your sales representative for approval.  

However, groups can drop off their own food and beverage in advance by coordinating with your sales representative.  The tailgate just cannot be catered on site by an outside vendor.
