Designed by Celano Design Studio Co., the venue will feature over 125 feet of LED screens, creating an immersive 360-degree viewing experience visible from every vantage point, including the pools, cabanas, bungalows, and bar areas. Beyond the screens and poolside energy, the dayclub will also offer a playful social experience throughout the venue, including cabanas with PlayStations, beer pong, foosball, and ping pong. The dayclub's tagline, "All In, All Day," reflects its all-day approach to sports viewing and fan culture.

Built to match the venue's high energy atmosphere, Tailgate's food and beverage menu will feature crowd-pleasing game day favorites, shareable bites, refreshing specialty cocktails, and much more. Mouthwatering highlights include the Buffalo Chicken Tender Sandwich, Mini Philly Cheesesteaks, the MVP Slider Tray, and signature drinks like the Orange Crush, Cucumber Cooler, and Paloma Twist.
