Every IU Athletics lot opens at least 5 hours before kickoff, and the RV lots open at 6 p.m. the night before. New for 2026, your whole tailgate, grill and tent included, has to fit behind or in front of your car inside the width of your stall, tents top out at 10 x 10 feet, and fire pits have to be UL-listed and off the ground. Prepaid parking is sold out, so plan on a game-day lot or the free Atwater Garage shuttle.
