Charger Tailgater Headquarters set for Lot F

Thanks to Mr. Jim Veldheer and Gridiron Club founder Lennie Stover for laying the necessary ground work early this week.

Hillsdale fans will be gathering to the south of the stadium and fieldhouse for tailgating festivities in Lot F. Restrooms will be open in the building for fans to use.

A large tent will be erected in the morning and will be a place for fans to place food to share. Those wishing to grill meat will have the opportunity to do so as a number of players' parents will be bringing the necessary equipment.

Tailgating is set to begin at 10:00 AM. See the map below to  get directions and find out exactly where you need to go.

Keith Otterbein: This is a new day.

Charger players know this piece well that head coach Keith Otterbein often recites before each early morning Spring conditioning practice. He shared it at this year's football banquet just before the Charger seniors gave their parting addresses. It could be no more appropriate than right now and the opportunity that lies before the Chargers on Saturday.
