FRANKLIN FIELD TAILGATE ZONE

The Franklin Field Colorado Corporate Cup Tailgate Zone is the centrally-located hub of community and competition on event day. Four of our events take place on Franklin Field, and the perimeter is a tailgating zone for participating teams. Your company can add a spot to put up a tent, tables, massage chairs, ice baths, whatever you think will help your team refuel, relax and rejuvenate while reliving the competition and preparing for the next event. We will also have a parking lot designated for “free” tailgating if upgrading doesn’t fit into your budget this year. Electricity will not be provided at tents and generators are not allowed. Teams may bring in ice chests and coolers with non-alcoholic drinks and refreshments to supplement concessions and the beer garden provided in the athlete village.

TEAM TAILGATE CONTEST

In the spirit of fun and camaraderie, we encourage teams to show off their company pride and decorate their area as they see fit. Teams will be judged by division and first place finishers will be recognized as the winner in the Team Tailgate Contest. Décor, themes and overall spirit will be a part of the contest criteria.
