Inside the Venue At A Glance

01

Mixed

Buy parking before gameday

The parking decision is inventory-specific: prepaid Black or Grey, day-of Purple, student Green, and ADA or pass-controlled alternatives each have different rules.

02

Mixed

Ninety-minute gate opening

The current facility facts table lists 11,040 capacity and the same number as the 2024 record attendance. An older paragraph on that page still says 10,200, so FanProof uses the newer structured figure and preserves the discrepancy.

03

Positive

Clear bag and no re-entry

There are five published guest entrances, concessions are cashless, and leaving ends admission under the no-re-entry rule. Umbrellas are also prohibited.
