Where to park

Pass lots: Gold, Maroon, Green and Orange (reserved), Black, Pink (grass), Copper and Purple, plus the Packard, Stadium and Fulton structures.
Guest pay: Novus Parking Structure, Tyler Street structure, Rural Road structure, the Gammage Lot and the University Center.
RV: The RV lot at the University Center takes a Sun Devil parking pass.
Getting there: North-side lots come in off Rio Salado Parkway; south-side lots and structures off University Drive.
Golf carts: Not allowed around the stadium or in the lots unless ASU approved them for game day.
Accessible: First level of the Packard Structure and the Stadium Structure, with a placard or plate, first come. Carts run to the gates from 2 hours before kickoff.

Take the light rail. The Veterans Way and College Avenue station is just west of the stadium. Trains run about every 20 minutes after 7 p.m. on Saturdays.
Ride the streetcar. It stops at Marina Heights on the north side, and the last trip leaves after midnight.
Use your side's road. North lots exit toward Rio Salado and south lots toward University Drive. Stay on your side.

Skip this: Cut across campus to the other side's road. So will everyone else who parked wrong.

Your space: Tailgate only in your assigned parking space. Don't block drive lanes or save extra spaces.
Alcohol: Beer and wine only. No hard liquor, kegs, common sources or drinking games, and no glass in the lots.
Grills: Propane gas grills only, no charcoal or open flames. In the parking structures, only on the top roof level.
Generators: They have to meet ASU Fire Marshal rules and sit in an open, well-ventilated spot.
When it ends: Tailgating ends at kickoff, and all areas are cleared within 1 hour after the game.
Not allowed: Unapproved golf carts, drones within 3 nautical miles of the stadium, and tobacco or vaping anywhere on university property.
Bags at the gate: Clear, up to 12 x 6 x 12 inches, or a 1-gallon freezer bag, plus a clutch up to 4.5 x 6.5 inches.
Gates open: 90 minutes before kickoff. No re-entry once your ticket is scanned.
