Where to park

Lot 4052
The one surface lot where tailgating is allowed, by game or season permit. Game permits are sold at the entrance as space allows.
Garages
Game-day fees by credit card or tap only. No tailgating in any garage.
Carpool
Free with 4 or more people in the car at the Tyndall, Park Avenue and Highland garages. Everyone has to be in the car at entry.
RV
PTS RV spaces run about five parking spaces wide and 30 to 40 feet long. They open 8 hours before kickoff, with no overnight parking.
Wildcat Club
Assigned lots by giving level, including West and East Stadium, Enke Drive, East McKale and the South 6th and North 2nd lots.
Accessible
Levels 1 and 2 of Cherry Avenue Garage, beside the stadium, with a state disabled plate or placard.

Getting out

  1. Ride Cat Tran back. It loads south of the stadium outside Gate 7 on 6th Street and runs until an hour after the game. Buses leave when full.
  2. Pack up on the Mall. You have an hour after the game to clear the grounds. Use it and let the streets thin.
  3. Take the streetcar. Sun Link serves campus, so park along the line and ride in and out.

Skip this: Rush the garage at the final whistle. Every other car on campus has the same idea.

The rules

Grills
Gas only. No charcoal grills or wood fires on the grounds or in RV parking.
Alcohol
Your own beer and wine, no hard liquor, kegs or beer bongs. From 6 hours before kickoff until kickoff, inside the grounds only.
Your space
About 17 x 30 feet for a car under 30 feet, 18 x 45 for bigger rigs. No slide-outs, and keep the center fire lane clear.
Tents
Set up by the pass holder after the grounds open. No early setups, and delivery trucks drop off outside the grounds.
Generators
Electric only, and they have to be fume-free and silent. No gas generators.
Not allowed
Open containers on streets or sidewalks, vulgar or offensive audio, and tailgating in garages or other lots.
When it ends
