Parking At A Glance

Parking difficulty

Parking options (opens in a new tab)

Downtown inventory with walk, shuttle, and connector options

What to do
The City lists State Street Garage and the West Jackson Avenue lot at about a 10-minute walk, with other garages farther away. The fare-free Downtown Connector provides an alternative from downtown parking; event-reserved prices and shuttle details should be checked for the date.
Best option
Use Old City South Lot B's reserved accessible spaces with the proper credential when eligible. Otherwise choose a city garage based on walking range or pair a farther garage with the connector rather than circling beside the stadium.
Avoid
Do not navigate to the old Smokies Stadium at 3540 Line Drive in Kodak. A stale stadium-information block remains at the bottom of the club page, but the current Covenant Health Park address is 500 East Jackson Avenue in Knoxville.

Inside the Venue At A Glance

01

Mixed

Saturday gates open earlier

The one-hour main gate changes to 90 minutes on Saturdays, with a separate early-entry treatment for season-ticket holders. Open the ticket before leaving the garage and route to the gate that matches the group's accessibility needs.

02

Mixed

Clear bag and no re-entry

The City used roughly 7,000 as the sellout-event capacity in its parking plan. Wheelchair seating is limited, and the club asks guests to arrange it ahead through the ticket office.

03

Positive

Downtown Connector is fare-free

The stadium is cashless, includes an adult-changing area behind Sections 104 and 105, provides family restrooms and nursing space, and permits considerate umbrella use.
