How To Get To UC Irvine Tailgate
Cicerone Field at Anteater Park is located on the corner of University Dr. and Mesa Rd. Turn off of University Dr onto Mesa Rd and parking closest to the stadium is in the Mesa parking Structure.
Parking Information
The best place for parking outside Anteater Park is the Mesa Parking Structure. Cost to parking in the Mesa Parking Structure in April 2012 was $10 per car and provided unlimited in and out privileges for the day.
There are other surface lots on campus but they are a bit of a walk to the stadium.
NOTE: the Mesa Parking Structure is just over the right field fence. If you park your car with the nose facing the stadium, it is possible if a left handed hitter pulls a home run to right field, you could have a broken windshield. The distance to the parking structure is 433 feet so it would have to be a towering home run bomb to hit the parking structure but it is not impossible. Better to be safe than sorry and park in other stalls that do not face the field or are on the other side of the structure facing the UCI campus.

Tailgating Policies
All tailgating is banned on the UCI campus. Anyone seen tailgating in a parking lot or behind their vehicle is considered to be "loitering" and the campus police will issue a first warning to pack up move along. If you are found to be continuing to be tailgating, the campus police will then issue a citation for loitering.
Food and Drink
Anteater park is one of the few college baseball stadiums that actually serve beer inside. In April 2012, they served Fat Tire and Blue Moon for $7 for a 16 oz cup and Coors Light for $6 per 16 oz cup.
