Most Power Five schools will have tailgating at college football games this season. But COVID-19 worries remain: ‘It’s going to be a very, very fluid situation.’

For example, last year South Carolina didn’t open its parking lots until 2 ½ hours before kickoff, prohibited tents, asked large gatherings of people to disperse and discouraged the use of any grills, coolers or buffet-style spreads. This year, South Carolina is returning to its pre-2020 policies.
