Tailgating

Checked at the source
Purple, Red, White, Green and Yellow lots. Purple is speed parking, filled north to south; the others let you pick your own space, which makes it easier to tailgate with friends. Meet at the 'Meet to Park' staging area to arrive together. Green and Yellow Lots and select campus lots on Floyd Street sell single-game passes online for $40, while they last. All digital. Premium tailgate packages on Street Fest come with a 10 x 20 tent for 20 guests, a 40-gallon cooler and a front-row spot for the Card March. Full-season packages run just under $1,700 per game; single games are sold too. Beyond the university lots there are many cash lots around the stadium; Louisville Athletics posts a map of them.

Getting in

Checked at the source
  • Bag policy: Clear bag policy. Purses and clutches must be 4.5 x 6.5 inches or smaller, even inside a clear bag. All bags are searched.

One thing to avoid

From a specialist guide
Don't count on Kentucky Expo Center parking: it closes to game parking when the Expo Center hosts its own events, as it did for Louder Than Life in 2026.
