Arrival Timing Recommendations
Arriving 90+ min early: Easy parking
Arriving well ahead of peak congestion. Entry should be quick and low-stress. You’ll have time to park, tailgate, visit Legends Plaza, and get to your seat.
Arriving ~60 min early: Moderate traffic
You might hit moderate traffic at gates and need to walk briskly. You’ll probably make it to your seat in time, but pregame plans might be rushed.
Arriving ~30 min early: Heavy traffic
Expect major delays, backups, or full lots. You risk missing kickoff entirely — especially if you’re unfamiliar with the area or need ADA access.
Parking Guidelines
Know the rules for parking passes, tailgating, accessible parking, and oversized vehicles.
What to Do When You Arrive
Find your gate, review bag policy, and check pregame activities.
