Parking At A Glance

Parking difficulty

Parking options (opens in a new tab)

Game-day lots generally become available two hours before tipoff.

What to do
The athletics guide distinguishes donor Diamond/Orange/Blue parking passes from paid public spaces and identifies first-come accessible parking in every game-day lot. Its linked parking map is labeled 2025–26; confirm current lot eligibility, hours, price and payment method.
Best option
Choose the actual game’s prepaid or public parking product and its vehicle entrance. Prepare mobile donor passes; the owner identifies Elgin Garage as the cash-parking option. Confirm the pedestrian route to your ticketed Holman/Cullen entrance.
Avoid
Do not treat an arena ticket as a donor parking pass, rely on old printed rates, park at bagged Holman Street meters, or assume Scott Street garage access remains open immediately before tipoff.

Viewing and venue layout

The complete 2026–27 men’s seating chart and October 2026 concourse plan preserve section/premium labels, benches, student areas, entrance names and service legends. The linked parking map is explicitly 2025–26 reference material, with no current-rate claim. Owner bag guidance conflicts across pages, so the guide explains the stricter small-bag instruction and current confirmation route. Three real photos and the fan gallery remain.
