Requested lots are not guaranteed and allocation follows priority rank. Mobile passes begin in 2026–27; a purchased physical pass replaces the mobile version rather than providing a second pass.
Arrive
For the November 7 reopening specifically, the owner announces a 5 p.m. ribbon cutting and 5:30 p.m. doors, 90 minutes before the announced 7 p.m. tipoff. The general basketball guide says 60-minute doors for other games. The ticket selector currently labels the event time TBA, so recheck the actual game notice and ticket before traveling; opening-night timing is not a season-wide promise.

Parking At A Glance

Parking difficulty

Parking options (opens in a new tab)

2026–27 donor parking uses a new allocation and mobile-pass model.

What to do
The current parking policy requires season-ticket status and the relevant giving/ticket thresholds for donor passes. Requested lots are not guaranteed and allocation follows priority rank. Mobile passes begin in 2026–27; a purchased physical pass replaces the mobile version rather than providing a second pass.
Best option
For public parking, the basketball guide identifies first-come spaces east of Roy Stewart Stadium near Highway 641. For accessible parking, contact the ticket office about exchanging the appropriate pass and presenting a current accessible permit; spaces remain first come. Confirm reopening-day shuttle and drop-off arrangements.
Avoid
Do not rely on the old 2021 map’s donor eligibility or assume a preferred-lot request guarantees allocation. Do not treat the November 7 event map as an evergreen layout for every game, or assume pre-renovation photographs show the new lower bowl.
