Where to park

Pass lots
Red (Meehan Hall) and Orange (White Football Complex) are numbered suite and club lots. Gold, Blue and RV need a pre-issued pass too.
Paid lots
Mason Hall and Stephenson Green lots and the TMB lot are marked as paid game-day parking on the official campus map.
Free lots
Stone Center, Merrill Hall, Brewer Hall, Rowe Hall, Houston Cole Library and Pete Mathews Coliseum, with Jax Transit to the stadium.
The Roost
Each reserved spot comes with a parking space. Give your name and spot number at the lot entrance.
RV
RV lot spots are all reserved. Enter at 3 p.m. Thursday for a Saturday game and leave campus by 3 p.m. the day after.
Accessible
The Purple lot next to Curtiss Hall opens at 9 a.m., cash only, near Gate D. More spaces at the University Rec Green lot and Houston Cole Library, with shuttles.

Getting out

  1. Ride Jax Transit back. Shuttles run about 2 hours after the game from the drop-off by the Orange lot to the free lots.
  2. Follow University Police. Officers direct traffic flow off campus after the game.
  3. Hang back at your spot. Shuttles and police traffic control are still running for a while after the final whistle.

Skip this: Floor it out of a color lot at the final whistle. You and every other pass holder, all aiming for the same few exits.
