Quick answers
What time do the Utah State lots open?
USU says parking lots open at 8 a.m. for weekend games and 2 p.m. for weekday games, and the tailgate lot opens at 8 a.m. on Saturdays and 2 p.m. on weeknights.
Can you grill at Utah State tailgates?
USU doesn't post a grill rule for the tailgate lot. Ask the Big Blue Club when you buy a spot, and leave the propane heater in the car, since those aren't allowed in the stadium.
Can you drink at Utah State tailgates?
USU doesn't post an alcohol rule for the tailgate lot. Alcohol is banned inside Maverik Stadium, and USU's student and employee drug and alcohol policy bars it on university property, including athletic events. Ask the Big Blue Club before you bring any.
Do you need a ticket to tailgate at Utah State?
USU doesn't post a ticket rule, but tailgating happens only in the designated tailgate lot, and spots there are sold through the Big Blue Club. Single-game spots go through Utah State Athletics.
How do you buy parking at Utah State?
Single-game parking is cashless: buy it online in advance or on game day at the F lot entrances. Season lots are assigned to season ticket holders by Big Blue Club level.

Logan sits at about 4,700 feet, and November nights get cold. Bring layers and a poncho, since umbrellas stay out.
Where the party is
Maverik Stadium sits at the foot of the Bear River Mountains at 4,710 feet, and USU keeps its tailgate in one designated lot on the west side. It's a donor-run setup next to a dry stadium, so this is a food and football crowd.
The lot
The tailgate lot
USU's designated tailgate area, west of the stadium next to A Lot on 800 East. Spots go through the Big Blue Club.
The south side
Fan Fest
Marked on USU's 2026 parking map on the stadium's south side by 1000 North.
What to eat
USU doesn't post a grill rule, so a hot dish from home is the safe bet. The stadium is dry and no lot alcohol rule is posted, so build the spread around food.
Getting out
Two of the roads beside the stadium close before kickoff. Your options, best first:
- Leave the way you came in. Use your lot's posted entrance road in reverse: 1400 North, 1200 East or 800 East.
- Use 1200 East for D Lot. D Lot isn't reached from 800 East on game day.
- Try the closed stretch of 800 East. It's closed for a reason, and you'll be turned around.
First time here?
- Lots open at 8 a.m. for weekend games, 2 p.m. on weeknights.
- Tailgating is in the designated tailgate lot only.
- No alcohol in the stadium. No lot rule is posted.
- Single-game parking is cashless, in the F lots.
- Get parked before 800 East closes 4 hours out.
- Clear bag only. Gates open 90 minutes before kickoff, no re-entry.
Visiting? How to join a tailgate
Most tailgate spots are donor spots, so the easy move is to walk the lot in your colors with something to share and say hello before you step in.
