Address
- The physical address for Davis Wade Stadium is 90 BS Hood Road, MSU, MS 39762.
Aisle Traffic/Section Entry
- Guests are urged to arrive at their seats well in advance of kickoff. As a courtesy to other guests, please remain in your seat until each play has ended. Guests should be sure their correct ticket stubs are with them and available throughout the game to assist in seat verification and entry into each aisle or section.
Alcohol Policy
- Alcoholic beverages are not permitted inside Davis Wade Stadium. Outside the stadium, all Mississippi state laws regarding alcohol are enforced.
Artificial Noisemakers/Cowbells/Crowd Noise
- Excessive and uncontrolled noise can result in penalties against the home team. In 2010, the 12 schools of the SEC agreed to a compromise on artificial noisemakers, acknowledging the role cowbells play in the history of Mississippi State University by amending the conference by-law. This fall, at least on a one-year trial basis - and hopefully for much longer - cowbells will be permitted in Davis Wade Stadium for the first time in 36 years, but only at designated times. Please visit respectthebell.com for full details about the new rules and regulations.
