Fan Tents at #Stotes
Fan Tents at Stotes are a great part of the fun and excitement of Regatta Weekend.
Please note the following important steps (and norms) about securing and setting up your tents along the racecourse. Note that ALL Parent/Spectator/Fan tents (Rented or Not) must have a Tent Permit.
TENT RENTALS
- Tents are available for rent exclusively through our Stotesbury Cup Regatta preferred tent provider (Tents for Rent) until Sunday, May 8th; however, supply is limited, so we cannot promise availability.
- The links for these are below; and, set-up, installation, permits (City and Regatta), safety equipment, etc. are all included.
- You will be notified of your teams’ preliminary location the Monday before the Regatta; but, some adjustments may be unavoidable as the site is constructed (Sorry…we can’t move trees in Fairmount Park to allow certain configurations).
- Your final tent location will be available on Thursday morning.
- Rented Tents “begin” with high-numbered spaces closest to the Gillin Boat Club/City Dock launching area and DECREASE to Space #1 which is located near the upriver end of the Stotesbury Village (ie, Finish Line/Grandstand Parking Lot). In other words, the space numbers DECREASE as one travels downriver and in the direction of traffic within the Kelly Drive Enclosure.
- The Schuylkill Navy does not hold a permit for the Park use until 12 pm on Thursday. As such, any tents or staked areas erected before this time (without the supervision of our Regatta Team ) will run the risk of removal by City/Park officials.
- Any non-rented tents erected from the upriver end of the Stotesbury Village and towards Gillin will be removed to ensure that the rented tents are installed.
SCHUYLKILL NAVY HOST SCHOOLS
- The Schuylkill Navy “Host Schools” and other Partner Programs – who substantially comprise our volunteer corps – are permitted within “The Island Village,” between the Kelly Statue (at upriver end of non-shaded seats in the Grandstand itself) and the upriver end of the Stotesbury Village (ie, Finish Line/Grandstand Parking Lot). Schools in this area must respectfully cooperate and work with our Stotes Team and one another to find room/space within this area.
- If you have not yet not yet been in touch re this year’s Service Duties, please do so.
THOSE DESIRING TO BRING OWN TENTS
- A limited amount of ground space is available for those teams who (a) are not Schuylkill Navy Host Schools; and, (b) do not wish to rent a Team Tent.
- These spaces (a) are limited in size; (b) still carry a Tent Permit Fee; and, (c) are only available in limited areas. Specifically, these tents will be located (a) immediately adjacent to the upriver “City Dock” (near Gillin/St. Joe’s) , space allowing; and, (b) in the “back row” behind other tents (closest to Kelly Drive) at limited spots along the Race Course.
- If you are desirous of one of these limited spaces, please reach out to let us know.
