Mercer Village, the College Hill Corridor's residential and retail destination,
is ready for Mercer football!
With eight local retailers — including five restaurants –– and over 70
available parking spots within walking distance of the stadium, Mercer
Village is an ideal pregame gathering place.
On game day, the Village's reserved "Bear Square" becomes tailgating central. Tailgaters enter
through Johnson Avenue, at the intersection of Montpelier Avenue, where official attendants
will direct motorists to designated spots. There is a $10 flat fee for reserved parking.
Tailgating is a block party in Mercer Village with gameday food and drink
specials, carry-out packages and street festivities. Local merchants are
game for the big game and committed to celebrating the return of
football by creating a "College Town" cool atmosphere.
From wings at Francar's to nachos at Margarita's; pizza at
Ingleside Village Pizza to sandwiches and pastries at
Fountain of Juice and Jittery Joe's, tailgating's basic
food groups are covered. Several restaurants also
serve beer, wine and cocktails.
Mercer Village is also home to
Barnes & Noble Mercer University
Bookstore, the main campus
bookstore where you'll find
Mercer apparel and
gameday gear.
Mercer Village is located within a 10-minute walk to the stadium, just off the north entrance of Mercer University at
the intersection of Coleman, Montpelier and Linden Avenues. Margarita's will also run a complimentary stadium shuttle
from the restaurant.
Be at the heart of the Mercer community by tailgating in the Corridor. For the latest information on Mercer Village
