Arizona

Saturday in Tucson is the mall and the pass lots around McKale and Gittings, then the Wildcat Walk at Cherry and University. Grills on the mall are gas only, and they shut down at kick.

Must see / do

Around campus

• The bowl is Casino Del Sol Stadium, the 2025 naming-rights name, and older pages still say Arizona Stadium.
• The UA Mall, McKale Lawn, and Gittings Lawn split into under-30-foot and over-30-foot pass zones, with first-come rows and load-in off Cherry Avenue. The mall needs a pass, 2026 sold out, it opens 6 hours before kick, and the entrance closes 3 hours before kick.

Before the game

• The Wildcat Walk drops the team at Cherry and University about 2.5 hours before kick, then through the tailgate grounds.
• Grills are gas only, and charcoal and wood are banned on the grounds. Beer and wine only, with no kegs and no glass, on the tailgating page.

On the lot

• Tailgating stops at kick, you clear an hour after the game, and grills stay gas only.
• The 2026 tailgating map is a download on the tailgating page. Passes and hours are in the overview.
