Are there designated tailgating areas on campus?  If so, where would you recommend?

Stanford's campus has no open container law, so you can drink anywhere. However, tailgating in practice (and perhaps in law too, I don't actually know) is contained to the football parking areas (as expected). If there's any area that's better for it than others, I'm unaware of it. However, if you drive, I think trailers are only allowed in certain areas. Gostanford.com should have all that information on it.

Does thecardboard have its own tailgate spot or are most of you spread out?

AFAIK we're all spread out, but it's possible that no one has invited me to the awesome cardboard tailgate because they hate me.

We are hoping to have time to walk around campus for a while as we've heard it's beautiful.  What buildings or spots should we make sure we visit?

The obvious spots, like walking down Palm Drive and into the quad (if you want to try to find the kumquat tree in the quad I can point you to it), plus I'd go through Cantor (the art museum) if you can, and just wander around White Plaza. There's also some natural beauty in areas like Lake Lag (though at that time of year maybe not, depends on rain) and the cactus garden area.

If the game is an 11:00 game, what time does tailgating start?  Likewise for a mid-afternoon or night game.

I can't help you there.

Are there any rules or restrictions on tailgating that we should know about?

Drinking bad beer is punishable by humiliation. Nothing worse than Lagunitas or Stone.

That is to say, none that I'm aware of. I see people grilling and drinking and setting up TVs and campers, if there are any restrictions it'd have to be things like "no fireworks" that ought to be obvious.

Are there spots around campus that we should make sure we see?

Is this distinct from the previous question?
