Greensboro, NC -- Tailgating right next to the "Greatest Homecoming on Earth" may cost you more.

NC A&T State University will kick off "Aggie Game Zone" this coming football season. The Game Zone will be a fenced-in area in the Sullivan, Benbow, East Lindsay street area near the stadium.

You'll have to have a ticket to the game to get into the Game Zone area to tailgate. 

The athletics department says they're trying to be proactive and make tailgating safer for fans.

Assistant Athletics Director Brian Holloway told WFMY News 2 there have not been any tailgating security issues. He also said requiring game tickets will also bring in more money for athletic scholarships and the university's 15 athletic programs.

You'll still be able to tailgate without a game ticket elsewhere on campus. The university is considering a special tailgating ticket for homecoming.

We called around to get other tailgating policies.
Wake Forest, UNC and NC State all require parking passes for many of their lots on game day. Anyone can tailgate, even if you don't have a game ticket.
