ECU opens its football lots 6 hours before kickoff for weekend games, or at 8 a.m. for kickoffs before 2 p.m., and at 4 p.m. for weeknight games. Fans 21 and over with a government ID can drink in the Athletics-managed lots from 6 hours before the game until 2 hours after it ends, parking passes are digital and good for one entry, and the public lots take cards only. No pass? Tailgate Plaza next to the stadium invites every fan to bring a chair.
