Tailgating at Sanford Stadium

Where to park

Donor lots

Most lots ringing the stadium are Athletic Association permit lots, allocated by points.

East Campus

The East Campus Deck and the Health/Visitor Center lots, paid in the ParkMobile app.

Season passes

Carlton Street Deck, East Campus Deck, Health/Visitors Center and River Road, on ParkMobile. Limited, and they sell out.

Overflow

The Intramural Fields open once East Campus fills. No tailgating there.

RV

A season pass for E23 Park & Ride, sold on ParkMobile.

Accessible

Every S - Stadium Loop bus is accessible. If walking 1/2 mile is hard, park near the East Campus Deck, not the Intramural Fields.

Getting out

1. Ride the shuttle back. S - Stadium Loop buses run from Gate 6 to the East Campus Deck and an area by the Intramural Fields for at least 1 hour after the game.
2. Walk to downtown. North Campus backs onto Broad Street and downtown Athens. Eat first and drive once the roads clear.
3. Follow the officers. Police run a postgame traffic plan, so your usual way out may be closed. Go where they point.

Skip this: Sprint for the deck at the final whistle. So will the rest of the stadium.
