I think they do let you tailgate in one of the lots. But the God's honest truth? If you have a pack of friends, go to a local bar - there are a bunch. some have great beers and they are a short jaunt from Stade Villanova. I have walked from at least 5 differnt bars to campus in my day (or vice versa)
Here's my rationale:
First - its wedding season and the Villanova Chapel will be hosting 2-3 weddings on Saturday. That environment doesnt lend itself well to getting rowdy before a game.
Second - I just said Villanova Chapel! Nothing like getting loaded with a large church within plain sight.
Last - Villanova's lots are mixed use and unlike JMU, UD, et al, there will be more people parking in those lots to do things other than go to the football game than those going to the football game.
Bars: Garrett Hill Ale House, Flip & Bailey's, Kelly's, Gullifty's, The Grog, Erin's Pub
I suppose the downside to this approach is that the game is at 1230 and one or more of these establishments likely open at 11.
