APSU Football - Austin Peay State UniversityClarksville, TN – It’s almost time for Governors football, which means it’s almost time for the return of Tailgate Alley, the first stop for Austin Peay State University football fans on game day.

It will be a new-look unit under first-year head coach Will Healy that greets the Governors faithful into the rechristened Fortera Stadium, with five home dates dotting the schedule in 2016.

All the game day festivities begin on Tailgate Alley, which will open at noon on game day each week.

Tailgaters are encouraged to reserve their spots in advance. For those who decide to tailgate at the last minute, limited spaces will be available on a first-come, first-served basis on gameday if they are not reserved in advance. All Tailgate Alley spots can be reserved free of charge.

The Clarksville Food Truck Association will have food trucks on hand for those who don’t want to bother with cooking on game day, although all fans are still welcome to grill all along Tailgate Alley. Concerts featuring local performers are scheduled for the home opener (September 10th) and Homecoming (October 22nd) and the Kids Area, located near the soccer field, will once again feature inflatables and games for younger Governor fans.

The Governors Club and Alumni Association are joining up for a tailgate at each home game. For more information on this event, contact Nikki Peterson (petersonn@apsu.edu) or Alaric Klinghard (klingharda@apsu.edu).

Fans can begin reserving their spots for Tailgate Alley now at www.letsgopeay.com/tailgate. For more information, contact Austin Peay Assistant Athletic Director Josh Jorgensen at jorgensenj@apsu.edu or 931.221.7672.
