HEB Center Social Distancing Tailgate Series
You purchase one ticket for the entire vehicle and your parking spot is separated by every other space to allow plenty of room for social distancing. Every parking spot comes with an extra space in front, or next to your car, for your group to tailgate. Your own food, coolers and grills for a socially distanced tailgate party are allowed and encouraged to bring. Snacks and drinks can still be ordered and delivered to your vehicle.
All the events at the HEB Center include activation of ASM Global's Venue Shield, an advanced environmental hygiene protocol that is deployed in more than 325 ASM facilities around the world. Venue Shield reduces physical touch points, increases venue sanitization and cleanliness, and provides various health monitoring guidelines and services. Masks are required when you leave your designated tailgate space.
