Tailgating
Tailgating at the Iroquois Steeplechase
Tailgating at the Iroquois Steeplechase is a time-honored tradition that brings together friends, family, and co-workers for a day of racing, celebration, and community. With several tailgating options to choose from, you can customize your race day experience to fit your group’s needs.
Whether you're enjoying Infield Tailgating close to the action, setting up in the Stirrup Club with premier track views, or bringing an RV for a more spacious gathering, each spot provides access to the best of race day. With the flexibility to bring your own food and beverages or enjoy selections from the Steeplechase Central Food Trucks, you can craft a tailgating experience that’s perfect for your group.
Kids 12 and under are free in all tailgating areas. However, please note that the Centerfield location tends to have a livelier, college-aged atmosphere, and families with young children may prefer other tailgating areas for a more relaxed experience.
Plus, all packages now include a free designated driver admission to ensure a safe and fun-filled day for everyone.
