Tailgating at Memorial Stadium

Where to park

IPTAY lots

Season placards by giving level and priority points. Some passes are digital this year, in your Ticketmaster account.

R-10 Douthit

Single-game IPTAY lot, about 250 spots at Old Greenville Hwy and Newman Rd. Sold on Ticketmaster.

Free lots

Seneca Creek Meadow, with a shuttle to Doug Kingsmore Stadium, and Lower Kite Hill, a gravel lot off Newman Rd across from Lot 16.

City garages

Keith St and Fendley St, about 220 spaces, first come, first served. Cars out by 4 a.m.

RVs

The Motor Home lot, west of the stadium, is an IPTAY donor lot.

Accessible

Enter off Hwy 93 on Calhoun Dr, near Tillman and Sikes Halls. A state hangtag gets you into the Sikes lot, with a shuttle to Gate 1 from 3 hours before until 90 minutes after.

Getting out

1. Follow the one-ways. Perimeter Rd runs one way from Lot 6 toward US 76, Walter T. Cox Blvd from Centennial toward US 76, and Hwy 93 one way out past the lake.
2. Ride the shuttle back. Parked at Seneca Creek Meadow? The shuttle runs until 2 hours after the game.
3. Go down on the field. After the alma mater, fans can join the team on the field from the Hill or the west ramps. The roads won't miss you.

Skip this: Sit on Perimeter Rd. The traffic plan runs 2 hours or until things clear. Your tailgate is a better place to spend that time.
