Where to park

Season lots: Gold, Tan, Black and Grey, pass required. White and Perch are pass-only too.
Prepaid game day: Black, Grey, WCC and Purple. Buy online on ksuowls.com before the morning of the game.
Day of game: Black, Grey and WCC, credit card only. Kennesaw State strongly suggests buying online.
Tailgate area: Single-game spots in the Black Lot, nearest the Gold and Green lots, with room for your own 10 x 10 canopy and a parking spot.
RV and bus: Grey Lot only, bought online.
Accessible: Public handicap parking in the Student Center Visitor Lot, with the Big Owl Bus to the stadium. ADA spaces are also in the Gold Lot.

Wait out the rush in your space. Lots stay open 2 hours after the game, so there's no need to bolt.
Head for the interstate you came in on. I-75 is west of the stadium and I-575 is east, both reached from Big Shanty Road and Chastain Road.
From the Purple Lot, walk back over I-75. You skip the stadium lot exits entirely.

Skip this: Merge onto Big Shanty with the whole lot at once. Possible. Not recommended.

Grills: Propane or otherwise, attended at all times. No fires on the ground and no open fire pits.
Alcohol: 21 and over only. Don't serve anyone who's obviously intoxicated.
Not allowed: Glass containers, kegs, common-source containers, couches or upholstered furniture, selling food or drinks.
Tents: 10 x 10 feet max, secured without stakes, directly in front of or behind your vehicle. Keep sidewalks and drive lanes clear.
Your space: One parking space per tailgate. Generators need a noise-reducing device. Pets on a leash.
When it ends: No tailgating after the game starts. Lots close 2 hours after the game, and no overnight stays.
Bags at the gate: Clear bags up to 12 x 6 x 12 inches. No outside food, drink or alcohol, coolers or umbrellas.
