Fans may purchase all-inclusive food and beverage options or bring their own setup.

Through the partnership, REVELXP will manage customizable tailgate packages that may include reserved space, tenting, seating, televisions, catering coordination, décor, concierge service and other hospitality elements. Fans will be able to select from available package options based on group size, game selection and desired experience level.
