Where to park

Donor lots: The numbered lots, Haymarket Park included, go to Huskers Athletic Fund donors. Lots 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 8, 12, 23, 24 and 26 have reserved stalls.
Public: UNL garages (14th & Avery, 19th & Vine, 17th & R) and east campus lots. Credit or debit only, open 6 hours before kickoff.
Reserve ahead: UNL Parking and Transit Services sells campus event parking in advance through ParkMobile.
RV: Lot 11 RV is presold to donors by the season. Other options: Haymarket Park, or first come, first served by the Devaney Sports Center off 14th and Military Rd.
Accessible: The 14th & Avery garage (Lot 9) is the main option, first come, with golf carts to the stadium. Free disabled parking at the 14th and Vine meters.
Drop-off: The bus cutout northwest of the stadium, off eastbound Salt Creek Roadway.
Closes early: Lots 4 and 6 close 90 minutes before kickoff and stay closed until postgame traffic clears.

Follow the posted routes. Nebraska publishes postgame driving routes, and the city pushes live changes through Waze. Load it before you leave your spot.
Take the shuttle you booked. iPronto runs game-day shuttles from four Lincoln locations, by reservation only.
Let the first wave go. Pack up slow and let the garages and lots thin out before you pull into traffic.

Skip this: Pull out the second the clock hits zero. So will everyone else.

Grills: No grilling from any heat source in or on top of university garages. Fire pits and other open flames are banned on university property.
Heat: Plug-in electric heaters are the allowed alternative to open flames.
Alcohol: State law (Neb. Stat. 53-186) bars drinking on state property. Intoxication can get you denied at the gate.
Tents: Weighted, not staked. There are utility and sprinkler lines underground.
Your space: One stall per permit, and trailers need their own. Set up in front of or behind your stall, and no saving spaces.
Not allowed: Bringing your own portable toilets (use the ones provided), unauthorized overnight parking, blocking drives.
No smoking: The campus is smoke, tobacco and vape free.
Bags at the gate: Clear tote, up to 12 x 6 x 12 inches.
