WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. -- Wake Forest Athletics has announced its partnership with Tailgate Guys for the 2017 football season.
Tailgate Guys was designed to take the trouble out of tailgating by providing an exclusive, fun game day experience for their guests. They offer tailgate packages to accommodate groups of all sizes, with offerings including tents, tables, chairs, coolers with ice, TV and media service, food and beverage options and their own bellhop service.
Founded in 2009, Tailgate Guys operates on campuses and in bowl games around the southeast including Auburn University, Texas A&M University, the University of Florida, Georgia Tech, the University of Texas, the Peach Bowl, the Cotton Bowl, Texas Christian University, the University of Alabama and new for 2017, Wake Forest, Virginia Tech and the University of North Carolina, among others.
"We are very excited to partner with Tailgate Guys," said Director of Athletics Ron Wellman. "We feel their best-in-class tailgate experiences align with our goal of creating a fun and memorable game day atmosphere for our fans. Tailgate Guys' prime and unique location, as well as the service and quality of every detail provided, will give our tailgaters a tremendous experience before and after our games this fall."
Tailgates purchased through Tailgate Guys will be located in the grassy area next to David F. Couch Ballpark, near gate five behind BB&T Field.
Tailgate Guys' new Atlantic Region main office will be housed in Winston-Salem and will be led by an experienced team that has relocated from other Tailgate Guys locations to take on this new region.
"It's awesome when a plan comes together so well with such a great group of partners as what we're seeing in the Atlantic Region," Tailgate Guys' President & CEO Parker Duffey said. "Each institution has shown a true commitment to our partnership and we look forward to serving their supporters and communities through our first-class service and hospitality."
Deacon Club members received first priority in purchasing tailgates with Tailgate Guys throughout the month of July; effective immediately, members of the general public may purchase tailgates, as well.
