Navy opens its stadium lots at 9:30 a.m. for afternoon kickoffs and at 7 a.m. for the early game, and closes them 90 minutes after the band plays "The Blue & Gold" after the game. Small gas grills and alcohol are allowed in the lots and tailgating areas, tents bigger than a 10 x 10 pop-up only go on the stadium perimeter and the NavyFest area, and you can't take or save extra spaces. The stadium lots are season passes only, so most visitors start at a satellite lot.
