Any insight on gameday parking? Just wondering if they have public lots available or is it all pre-pay or pass? Appreciate any intel.

For what game? There are plenty of independent lots around the stadium to park at that take cash/Venmo. Just may not allow tailgating. If it's this weekend, you'll have to plan on getting there early because the State Fair is in town.

Yeah, this weekend. Game is 12:45 kickoff. Just me and my 12 year old, so, wasn't planning on tailgating but going up and checking out that Fan Zone area, whatever it's called and seeing what else there is to get into.

The parking situation is one of the few maybe only benefits to the off campus stadium. Plenty of lots up and down Bluff Rd, just depends on how much you want to pay and how far you’re willing to walk. And there’s others besides the ones on Bluff. Fair traffic is going to be a nightmare for a kickoff at that time so take that into account for your plans should not be quite as bad when leaving. Hwy Patrol does a real good job with traffic flow going to I-77 after the game

Yeah, there should be plenty of options then. They will probably be marked up with the fair, so just be ready to pay. I would park on the south side of the stadium just to avoid fair/game traffic and easier to get out after the game. The fair will open at noon too.

Good deal, coming from Charlotte. I've been there once before but it was way back in 2012. Traffic getting out was really bad and I have no clue where I was at. Middle of a big field LOL. So, that's my goal this time is to find a spot where after the game I can make sure to be able to get back to 77 relatively easily.

If you can get on G Rogers, going toward the stadium from downtown, you can take a left onto Andrews which runs parallel some to Shop , there are several private houses that open up a lot of space for parking $20 to $30 a car per game , and the families do a good job, telling you were to park and not jamming cars in there and then they watch the cars during the game.

Appreciate the advice. Got a spot on Bluff for $20 and was able to pull right out after no problem.

Was fun getting to take my son to his first SEC game even though the results didn’t go the way we wanted.,
